Design and Filters
Continuing the analog approach of the Instax Square SQ6 that launched in 2018 and follow-ups like the Square SQ1 and SQ40, the new Fujifilm Instax Square 2 skips digital functionality while still introducing the ability to customize the look and feel of instant photos. A new mood filter switch slides one of two colored filters in front of the lens with the Warm setting creating a subtle golden tone and Cool producing crisp, blue-toned results.

Alongside the new camera Fujifilm is also introducing a new variety of instant film it calls Soft Haze producing shots with a reduced color saturation and contrast plus glowing highlights and warm, diffused shadows. Each film pack will sell for $18.99 for 10 exposures.

Features and Controls
The Square 2 has a similar design and layout as the SQ1 but with a new sculpted body design that rounds off all its sharp edges. There’s an optical viewfinder on the back and a small mirror on the front for framing selfies. A rotating ring on the lens can be used to switch between three shooting modes including Close-up, Standard, and Landscape with a focus range from as close as 0.3 meters to infinity. The Instax Square 2 also features automatic exposure and automatic adjustments of its xenon flash.
