Product review summary

This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.

The Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 Instant Film Camera is a fun and easy to use camera that makes for an ideal gift. It has an automatic flash for low light shooting and a focal zoom dial. The camera comes with an automatic extending 95 millimeter f14 lens with two focus zones, optical viewfinder, and a tripod socket. The camera works with Fujifilm Instax Wide Film only - ISO800. The picture size is 62 millimeter × 99 millimeter, and there is a close-up lens for shots up to 40 centimeter from the subject. The camera has light and dark control to help add high and low-key effects in the picture. The camera is a little heavy, and the build quality is not great, but it takes acceptable pictures. Some users recommend turning on the flash manually and using it as a fill-flash to add lighting to back-lit subjects. The camera has a design defect in the photo exit slot that leaks light in when there's strong light in that direction and makes an exposure of round circles on the photo.
