Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Shoots in the 1:1 square format using Instax Square film, giving prints a distinctive social-media-friendly aspect ratio
- Auto exposure control measures surrounding brightness and adjusts shutter speed automatically for more consistent results
- Ships with three colored flash filters in orange, purple, and green for tinting prints without extra accessories
- Films develop in roughly 90 seconds, so subjects can see the photo shortly after the shutter clicks
- Graphite Grey finish gives the SQ6 a more grown-up look than the candy-colored instant cameras it competes with
👎 Cons
- Requires two CR2 batteries rather than a rechargeable pack, which adds an ongoing consumable cost
- Locked to Instax Square film, so buyers cannot use the cheaper mini-format film already on shelves
- The 90-second develop time depends on ambient temperature and may stretch longer in cold conditions
- Auto exposure does the work, but offers less manual control than buyers stepping up from a phone may expect
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of film does the Instax Square SQ6 use?
It uses Instax Square film, which produces 1:1 square-format prints. Mini and Wide film types are not compatible with this camera.
How is the SQ6 powered?
The camera runs on two CR2 batteries. There is no built-in rechargeable pack, so spare CR2 cells are worth keeping on hand.
How long do prints take to develop?
Prints develop in approximately 90 seconds, though the exact time can vary depending on the ambient temperature in the environment.
Does the SQ6 handle exposure automatically?
Yes. Its auto exposure control uses the flash to measure surrounding brightness and then adjusts shutter speed to suit the scene.
What are the included colored flash filters for?
The orange, purple, and green filters fit over the flash to add a color cast to the photo, letting shooters tint a print at capture time.
Is this the same as the Instax Mini cameras?
No. The SQ6 is the square-format model and uses Instax Square film, while Mini cameras shoot the smaller credit-card-sized format.
