Welcome back to the Fuji Guys! My name is Francis. Today we are going to take a
look at the brand new SQ6 camera from FUJIFILM that takes iNSTAX square
format films so if you want to know more about this camera and see what's in the
box keep on watching!
Alright so let's take a look at what's in this box
so as you saw in the intro there's three different colors. You have the graphite
gray, you have a white one and you have this one which is a rose gold. So opening
up the box you have this little sheet here that shows you how to properly
unbox the camera you have a little caution notice for the film itself and
you have this user guide here which is somewhat big but don't worry this is in
multiple languages so you won't have to read this whole thing it's actually
really quick to get through it. So I'm just going to put this to the side.
Looking inside the box you have your batteries here so we're gonna take them
off, you have your neck strap here which I strongly recommend that you use it
because you don't want to drop your brand-new camera I'm gonna show you how
to actually put it on the camera and you have this little part here that comes
out and you have these three little gels. So if you want to create nice effects
you can just put this on the flash and then it's gonna give you a tint on
your images. So put that to the side and then we get to the good stuff which is
the camera here. So just gonna put this box away and remove the camera from this
little bubble wrap and then you can see the SQ6 and rose gold. So first of all
we're going to put in the batteries.So you just open up that battery door here
on this side and then...A little tip: you put the first battery to the back
and then you put the second one in the front that way it's easier to to get it
in, and then I'm just gonna put back the little door and then we have some
batteries in there, and then I'm going to put in some film so you want to actually
align the yellow with the yellow, and close it up and then next up you want to
power on the camera and then take a shot so that it will eject the dark slide.
Now you can see on this little window you have your number of exposure that's
remaining, so as you can see 10 exposure and it's just gonna decrease from there
and then tell me how many pictures I have left.
So a little quick tour of the
camera. You have the flash right here. You have your shutter button here. You have
this mirror here to frame yourself when you want to do selfies. You have this
light meter here so this needs to be always exposed to light because that's
actually what's measuring the light for you.
You have your LED here that's going to light up whenever you put on the self-timer.
You have the viewfinder here this is the front part and then you
actually look through this part here just like that.
You have these strap locks here on the each side to put your strap which I
Again strongly recommend you put on because you don't want to drop your camera.
To put it on it's actually really simple. So just take it out of this
little bag and then you just want to loop it through like so and then you
want to bring this over here and the way I do is that I put it under like that
and then you just want to loop it through the next one
just like that, and then it's gonna tight itself up and it's secured now. So I'm
just going to do the same thing for the next one.
All right so now the strap is on we can move forward.
underneath the camera you have this little tripod mount
right here which is really cool if you want to take landscape shots for example
or if you want to use the self-timer to take a group photo so you can just put
it on the tripod put on the self-timer and get into the shot as well.
So we're going to go through the different buttons in the back of the camera.
So there's three of them. You have your mode button. You have your
self-timer and you have your flash button. Which actually means no flash
So this button here is actually to force the camera not to use a flash so if you
know that you don't want the camera to fire the flash you want to force it not
to go off, then you just press on this button and then you see a little LED is
going to light up that means that the flash is not going to fire off, and if
you don't push it back it will stay off as you go and take pictures so to
disable that you actually need to push it again that way it comes back to automatic
The next button is the self timer button. So this is actually really
useful, like I said, when you want to take group shots or if you want to shoot
landscape for example on a tripod and you don't want the camera to move.
So when you press on it, again, the little LED is going to light up and then in the
front as well the this light is going to open up and then it's going to stay open
for seven seconds and then the three remaining seconds it's going to be
blinking letting you know that in three seconds the picture is actually going to
be shot. So this is really cool in the front up
there to let you know when to actually force your eyes to stay open.
And the last button is actually your mode button. So you are going to use this button
whenever you want to switch from the different modes up top here so the first
one, A is actually Automatic so it's it's really just a point-and-shoot you just
go you take a picture and then that's it. It's going to do everything for you
if you move on to the next mode this is actually the selfie mode and as you saw
the the lens moved so this is actually adjusting focus because it's actually
going to be somewhat of a close-up shot so whenever you're on the selfie mode
you you need to have the camera within 30 to 50 centimeters to be in focus so
if I take a picture using this little mirror right here. There you go and then
you can see the image fully processed in the back magically!
Next up is going to be your macro mode so again it's 30 centimeters to 50 centimeters if you
want to take close-up shots of let's say this thing for example, but one thing to
keep in mind when you do macro shots is that you have a parallax here so you
look through this viewfinder but your lens is here so when whenever you you're
shooting something far away it doesn't matter but if you're really close as you
can see here if I frame it to the middle like dead center here it's actually not.
So what I suggest is actually you you frame it somewhat like this and then you
look in the viewfinder and it should be a little bit more. If you take that
circle you take it and then you go a little bit down to the left and that
should give you the center and you can just take the shot.
Next up is the little mountain icon there this is actually from two meters to infinity so it adjust
the focus for that so whenever you shoot something that's far away you want to
put it to this mode right here to make sure everything is in focus.
The next mode is actually really cool this is multiple exposure so it's going to allow
you to take two pictures so when you press the shutter button it won't eject
the film it will let you shoot another the picture so that can give you a lot
to play with and actually I'm just going to shoot one right now so I'm
going to take a shot of this for example.
And then as you can see the picture is not coming out and I have this low LED
blinking on top. So I need to take a second picture so
I'm just going to take a picture of this light here and then you see it ejects the picture.
And you can see magically appearing in the back once again.
So the next mode will be lighter so if you want your image to be somewhat brighter than
what it should be, you would put it to "lighter" so it will give you an somewhat
overexposed image. Another way you can use this mode is actually when you're
using these little filters here because when you put it in front of of the flash
it actually diffuse the the flash itself and gives it less power so you want that
your image should be a little bit overexposed so talking about these gels
you just take it and you just pop it on to your flash so let's take a picture
just to see what it gives. So I have two the green one it's gonna give it a
little green tint on it and then you can see in the back.
And then the last mode is actually darken so this is the same principle so rather than having the
correct or perfect exposure it's gonna bring it down a little bit so if you
want to get somewhat of a darker looking image low-key image or you know that the
scene is just too bright then you can put it to darken that way your image is
going to be a little bit underexposed
