“As Fujifilm’s first hybrid instant camera, and the first camera with the unique capability to integrate sound into photos, our mini LiPlay line of hybrid instant cameras has always been one of our most unique offerings,” said Bing Liem, president, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Imaging Division. “mini LiPlay+ builds on the distinctive features of the original mini LiPlay, giving users even more creative ways to express themselves through photos and sound. It’s a truly versatile hybrid camera with a unique set of attributes to suit every skill and interest level.”

The free, downloadable instax mini LiPlay app allows users to capture images remotely via Bluetooth connection, add finishing touches to images with frames, and print photos from a connected smartphone.

The mini LiPlay+ hybrid instant camera features both a front main camera and a rear-facing wide-angle selfie camera. New to mini LiPlay+ is layered photo mode, in which images created with both the front and rear cameras can be combined so the images appear in layers, one in the foreground and one in the background.

Mini LiPlay+ also features automatic exposure and flash control to enhance image quality and includes either 2 or 10 second timers.

Alternatively, the instax Sound Album feature turns adventures into custom animated videos with sound, vibrant backgrounds, and standout music.
