FUJIFILM instax mini Evo Cinema India Launch: Hybrid Camera with Video Recording and Era Effects

FUJIFILM India has launched the instax mini Evo Cinema, a new hybrid instant camera that shoots photos and videos while also printing them instantly. The camera builds on the existing instax Evo lineup by adding video recording and creative effects based on different decades.

The instax mini Evo Cinema has a hybrid design with a 1.54-inch rear LCD display for previewing photos before printing. It captures still images at 1920 × 2560 resolution using a 1/5-inch 5 MP CMOS sensor. For video, it records at 600 × 800 in Standard mode or 1080 × 1440 in High-Quality 2020 mode at 24p in MP4 format. The camera has an ISO range of 100 to 1600 on auto, shutter speeds from 1/4 to 1/8000 sec, and an F2.0 aperture. It uses Program AE exposure with ±2 EV compensation, TTL 256 split metering, and Single AF with face recognition from 10 cm to infinity.

The video-to-print feature lets you turn recorded videos into QR codes that print alongside a still frame on instax mini film. You can scan the QR code with your smartphone to replay the video inside an instax-style frame or download it for sharing.

The camera connects to a dedicated smartphone app for iOS and Android through Bluetooth 5.4 and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The app supports remote shooting, image and video transfer, firmware updates, and direct printing of smartphone photos in JPEG, PNG, or HEIF formats. You can merge multiple clips into a single video up to 30 seconds long, apply opening and ending templates, and create poster-style prints with custom text.

The Eras Dial provides 10 effects inspired by different decades from 1930 to 2020. Options include a 1960s 8mm film look and a 1970s CRT television effect. Each effect has adjustable intensity and adds matching audio elements like noise, tape flutter, and mechanical sounds during recording.

The camera has a vertical grip design inspired by the FUJICA Single-8, finished in black and gray. It includes a clickable Eras Dial, a Print Lever, an attachable viewfinder, and a grip accessory. Prints are produced at 1600 × 600 resolution in about 16 seconds. The internal lithium-ion battery can handle around 100 prints per full charge.

The instax mini Evo Cinema Premium Edition is priced at Rs. 47,999 in India. It comes as a combo box with the camera and two packs of instax mini glossy film. Pre-bookings are open from 21 to 27 January 2026 on the official instax website. The camera will be available and start shipping on 28 January 2026. Customers who pre-book will receive two additional designer instax mini film packs.
