Designed as a true three-in-one camera, the mini–Evo Cinema records photos and up to 15 seconds of video while also functioning as a wireless smartphone printer. Video clips can be stitched together in-camera or via the instax mini Evo app, where they can be trimmed, reordered, and enhanced with cinematic opening and end titles before being shared.

At the heart of the mini Evo Cinema is the Gen Dial, a tactile control that recreates the visual and audio character of different decades of imaging history. From the grainy charm of 8mm film to the polished look of modern digital media, each effect reshapes both video and stills with era-accurate textures, color, noise, and sound.

Equipped with a 5MP CMOS sensor and a bright f/2 28mm-equivalent lens, the mini–Evo Cinema captures 3:4 JPEG stills optimized for instant printing. Images can be reviewed on the 1.54″ rear LCD, selected, and printed on premium Instax mini-instant film at 318 dpi for rich color and sharp detail.

Pairing the camera to the instax mini Evo app unlocks deeper creative control and faster sharing. Videos and photos can be transferred, edited, combined into up to 30-second movies, or laid out as movie-poster-style instax prints with titles and text.

With a meticulously crafted, analog-inspired body, the mini Evo Cinema is built to enhance the joy of image capture. Its built-in flash and continuous LED provide light for challenging shooting conditions, while an internal battery with USB-C charging provide modern convenience in a retro-inspired package. A front-facing selfie mirror and 2- or 10-second self-timer make it easy to frame self-portraits, while the included optical viewfinder offers an immersive shooting experience.
