not powering on at all

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Troubleshooting

Camera will not turn on

Lens not functioning

The lens unit might be stuck. Use the lens release switch to extend the lens. Make sure there is an opening through the lens when viewed from behind. Please refer to our Lens unit replacement guide if the lens unit ceases to function.

The camera lens should pop out once the lens release switch is triggered, and a light should appear on the aperture ring to show that the camera is ready to shoot.

My camera won't turn on

Hi I had the same problem and my batteries were at the wrong position and i corrected it and it still didnt work. What I did was...

Press the shutter button repeatedly and then turn on right after, you will notice that it will make the sound, the sound it makes when it turns on. This worked.
