FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Imaging Division, today
announced the latest addition to its popular instax™ line of
instant cameras and smartphone printers with the introduction of
its instax WIDE Evo™ Hybrid Instant Camera (Wide Evo), whose unique
hybrid format combines the excitement and satisfaction of
traditional instant camera functionality with the capabilities of
digital imaging technology to select, share, edit and store photo
images. Wide Evo takes these capabilities a step further, with the
ability to create wide format images that print onto instax™ WIDE
instant film (sold separately), along with a host of other advanced
capabilities designed to enhance the photographic image taking
experience.
“Like the groundbreaking instax mini Evo™ Hybrid Instant Camera
that came before it, Wide Evo offers a creative way to chronicle
life’s milestones, creating a bridge between digital and analog
photography,” said Bing Liem, division president, Imaging Division,
FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “Hybrid photography gives the
photographer the flexibility to choose which images to instantly
print, which images to share, and which images to store for later
access. Wide Evo does all of that, in a new wide format body, and
with a host of new and improved lens and film effects and modes to
enhance the user experience even more.”
Wide Evo outputs high-quality prints directly from the camera.
Images can also be printed from a user’s iOS or Android smartphone
camera roll using the free instax WIDE Evo Smartphone App. The app
also features remote shooting capabilities and additional image
enhancement options. Additionally, to inspire creativity and
encourage image sharing, the instax WIDE Evo Smartphone App offers
the newly introduced “Discover Feed”. The feed allows the user to
view images uploaded by other Wide Evo users in a photo gallery
format and apply their lens, film, and degree effects and film
style settings to their own images.
The main features of Wide Evo include:
Integrated Wide Angle OptionWide Evo features the widest
lens on any instax instant camera, at 15.67mm. Users can choose to
take images at the standard width, or opt for Wide Angle Mode,
which maximizes Wide Evo’s lens capabilities to get all of the
action into the photo.
10 Lens Effects x 10 Film Effect Options = 100 Combinations
of Creative Expression, Now with Added Degree ControlLike the
instax mini Evo instant camera, Wide Evo features 10 lens effects
and 10 film effect options, offering 100 different combinations for
users to express themselves. Wide Evo adds Degree Control, which
allows the user to determine the degree to which each lens effect
is applied to their image.
5 Film Styles to Enhance the Look of the ImageIn addition
to the lens and film effects, Wide Evo offers 5 film styles to
customize images even further, with options including a cinematic
look with black bars across the top and bottom of the image, a
classic film strip look, a traditional date/time stamp format, a
retro contact sheet look, or a vintage collodion process
effect.
Selfies, Storage, and MoreWide Evo also features a
3.5-inch LCD Monitor on the back of the camera to allow users to
select images, add effects, edit, print, and adjust image settings,
supported by a built-in Lithium-Ion battery which enables the
camera to print up to 100 images per charge, depending on the
specific use case. A Micro SD card slot (Micro SD Card sold
separately) ensures there’s plenty of room to store additional
images for later enjoyment (approximately 45 images can be stored
in the camera’s internal memory), while the Selfie Mirror helps
users nail selfies every time.
In addition to the new camera, new accessory and film options
have also been introduced: New instax WIDE Evo™ Hybrid Instant
Camera Case Accompanying the introduction of the Wide Evo
is the instax WIDE Evo hybrid instant camera case (sold
