Fujifilm Instax Sq1 Glacier Blue Ex D — Square-Format Instant Photography, Simplified

The Fujifilm Instax Sq1 Glacier Blue Ex D delivers analog instant prints using instax SQUARE film. With 62 × 62 mm prints—1.5× larger than instax Mini—this model appeals to those who want more from their snapshots. The intuitive single shutter button, twist-to-power lens, and fully automatic exposure eliminate technical hurdles for newcomers. Larger, cinematic prints are possible while maintaining the ease of spontaneous shooting. Offered in three finishes, including Glacier Blue, the camera doubles as a style statement for events, travel, and daily use.

Features That Distinguish This Model

Unlike earlier instax Square cameras, this model introduces a twist-to-power lens. Rotate the barrel once to switch on the camera; twist again for Selfie mode, which re-optimizes the optics for 30–50 cm close-ups and uses a built-in front mirror for framing. The flash fires every time, automatically adapting to ambient light and recycling in 7.5 seconds or less. Exposure settings are handled in the background, so users can focus on composition rather than technical details.

Optics and Framing Tools

A 2-component, 2-element fixed-focus lens (65.75 mm, f/12.6) is tuned for the square frame. Framing is supported by a Reverse Galilean viewfinder (0.4× magnification, target spot) for accurate subject placement at arm's length. The system is set up for shooting at 0.5 m and beyond, with the dedicated Selfie mode covering the 0.3–0.5 m range.

• Lens Construction: 2 components, 2 elements — fixed-focus optical path tuned for square framing
• Focal Length: 65.75 mm with Aperture: f/12.6 — calibrated for the 62 × 62 mm image area
• This camera’s viewfinder, a Reverse Galilean with 0.4× magnification and target spot, lets you line up subjects for a balanced composition.

Automatic Exposure and Flash

The electronic shutter ranges from 1/2 to 1/400 second with slow synchro for dim scenes, and the metering covers Lv 5.0–15.5 at ISO 800. Users don’t need to adjust anything: flash and exposure work together to produce bright prints in both sunlight and low light. The flash’s effective range (0.3–2.2 m) covers typical social distances.

• Shutter Speed: 1/2 to 1/400 sec with slow synchro for low light
• Exposure Control: Automatic, Lv 5.0–15.5 (ISO 800) — no manual settings required
• Enjoy consistent illumination thanks to a flash that recycles in 7.5 seconds and covers distances from 0.3 to 2.2 m.

Power, Film, and Ergonomics

The camera uses two CR2 lithium batteries for approximately 30 film packs under typical conditions. After 5 minutes of inactivity, it powers down automatically to save energy. Film loading is simple: open the back, insert a 10-shot pack, and monitor shots remaining via the film counter and confirmation window. At 390 g (excluding batteries, strap, and film), the camera balances portability and a steady grip for comfortable shooting on the go.

• Power Supply: Two CR2 lithium batteries — rated for ~30 instax SQUARE film packs
• Film Format: instax SQUARE, 86 × 72 mm print / 62 × 62 mm image — develops in approximately 90 seconds
• Weighing 390 g and measuring 130.7 × 118.6 × 57.5 mm, this model slips into a bag yet feels robust in your hands.

Who Will Appreciate the SQ1 Glacier Blue

Casual shooters, party planners, and content creators seeking larger prints without complex exposure controls gravitate toward the SQ1 Glacier Blue Ex D. With straightforward controls and automatic exposure, newcomers can get great results, while experienced users enjoy the larger format for group shots and scenic backgrounds. The 390 g weight, matching case, and compatibility with the instax UP! app for digital scans make it a practical choice for travel and events. Owners of instax Mini cameras can step up to the square format with zero learning curve.
