The Evo series is a hybrid instant camera range that allows users to preview images on the rear LCD display, select their preferred shots for printing and enjoy an immersive photography experience through a wide range of creative effects.

Commenting on the launch, Koji Wada, Managing Director of Fujifilm India, said that the company’s focus on innovation is driven by its purpose of giving the world more smiles. He added that the instax mini Evo Cinema reflects this philosophy by combining cinematic creativity with the emotional value of instant prints, offering users a meaningful way to express themselves and preserve memories in the digital age.

Arun Babu, Associate Director and Head of Electronic Imaging, instax and Optical Devices Business at Fujifilm India, said the camera is designed for a new generation of creators who enjoy experimenting with formats and storytelling styles. He highlighted features such as video-to-print functionality, era-inspired effects and a premium analogue-inspired design, adding that the Premium Edition and pre-booking offers are expected to appeal strongly to users seeking expressive and lasting memories.

The instax mini Evo Cinema can capture both still images and videos and converts video data into a QR code that is printed alongside a still image taken from the video. This allows users to hand over a video in print form and revisit the full clip later by scanning the QR code.

As a new feature, the camera includes the Eras Dial, offering effects inspired by different time periods. Ten era-based effects are available, including a 1960 mode inspired by 8mm film cameras. Each effect has 10 adjustable levels, providing a total of 100 creative expressions that give photos and videos a distinctive time-travel feel.

The camera features a vertical grip design inspired by Fujifilm’s FUJICA Single-8, an 8mm camera launched in 1965. Its carefully crafted design and analogue-style controls enhance the overall shooting and printing experience.

The dedicated app allows users to edit videos by combining clips and adding cinematic opening and ending templates. It also includes a direct print function that enables smartphone images to be printed as instax photos.

Overall, the instax mini Evo Cinema functions as a three-in-one device, serving as a video camera, still camera and smartphone printer.

The camera was officially unveiled by acclaimed Bollywood film director Imtiaz Ali, who highlighted the device’s ability to blend classic cinematic storytelling with the tangibility of instant photography.
