Verdict

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 is a fully analog instant camera that uses Instax Square film to produce 62mm x 62mm prints. It features a retractable 65.75mm f/12.6 lens with a motor-driven three-range zone focusing system (Macro: 0.3m–0.5m, Normal: 0.5m–2m, and Landscape: 2m–infinity), alongside a programmed electronic shutter ranging from 1.6 to 1/400 seconds. Its main characteristics include an automatic exposure control system (ISO 800), a built-in selfie mirror, a 10-second self-timer, and multiple creative modes like double exposure and light/dark compensation. Key pros are its stylish, compact design, the inclusion of three colored flash filters, and a long-lasting battery life of approximately 300 shots using two CR2 lithium batteries. However, notable cons include significant viewfinder parallax errors at close range, high ongoing film costs, and the use of less common CR2 batteries instead of standard AA.
