My instax camera fell about less than 1m height, and now the red light next to the viewing lens is not disappearing. Due to that, i cannot take photos when i press the button. Help?
Hi! A few minutes ago, I had the same problem. I also dropped my camera and the red light won't disappear. I've tried other batteries but it didn't work. After 30 minutes of changing the batteries it worked again. I suggest you use AA LR6 batteries. They have to be from the SAME brand. Don't use 2 different brand batteries. I hope it will work! (Also, please use NEW batteries. I changed my batteries with old ones and that's probably why it didn't work after 30 minutes)

Mine has the red light but it's brand new and has never even come close to being dropped and i'm really worried about it. I tried changing the batteries but that didn't make a difference.

I don't use my instax for a long time, will it turn out good if I change the batteries and wait
by Amy
The red light of camera wont turn off. What should i do? I changed the batteries. But the red light still on
by Haha
I had the issue aswell, and I did not drop my camera. All I had to do what replace the batteries with new ones and it’s reset itself.
how come when I take a picture the picture comes out white and stays white? is the film broken & before I put this new film the old film I had was perfectly fine? is my film wrong or my camera?

You have to waft it to get colour
by taraendres01
this happened to my camera.. it might be different for you but i kept taking out the film so when I took a picture it turned out white so I just put a new film pack in my camera and it started to print the pictures again.
by jasey Locke
That means you exposed the film after the film is exposed you need to change the film and not expose film
1. make sure it’s on the right setting. if you have your camera on the wrong setting then the shot will be over exposed. 2. once you take out your film it is NOT important to waft it. put it in a clean, dark place, like a bag or pocket and let it sit there for 3-7 minutes. it should have developed

Mine stays white and never changes u realy need to fix this email me back cause im getting fustraited
by Mira Hamid
Its probably because it was too sunny when you took the photo, there are different options to change it at the top of the lens
Hi! My camera did the same thing for about 6 hours. I found that Duracell batteries worked and the camera works great! Hope that helps!

by peachyluna
call the # on your box ask for batteries I got ultra digital that came with the camera
by Jadyn Dew
If you make sure that all of the batteries are popped just perfectly into they're spots it will work. Make sure they're all facing the same way too. I thought I could never fix mine and I did by doing this.

HELP!
Hi, we had the same issue with the Instax mini 8 andblinking lights and we could not get out the casette, we solved* Hit <enter> to insert another list item, and <enter> twice in a row to end the list. To get subitems, repeat the bullet character once for each level of indent you want (e.g. **) this by using a sisser and knife.the problem is rhat the last picture was hanging and this was caused by the small silver item in the right corner when you open it. After we removed the last casette to put a new one in this silver item did not get back to the right corner but was about 1cm above.We solved this by putting the old empty casette in it, pushed the button to make a picture and then removed the old casette again, now it was solved , the silver item was back in the right corner again and after installing a new casette it was working perfectly again
I had the same problem but you just have to leave the camera alone for about 10-15 minutes. Then you have to take out the batteries and get new ones. Finally you have to take out the pictures that you put in and reput them in. If that doesnt work then I dont know but it worked for me. The first picture you take might not come out but the second one should.
I have a problem with mine, I still had film so I took a picture but my picture never came out.i told out the film box and see that the picture I had just taken was stuck where it comes out of. Now, it still doesn’t allow me to take pictures, what do I do.. please help.
I have a problem with the red light, I haven't used the camera for 6 months or more and today when I was going to take the picture, the first film came out white but the second picture I took came out normal. I took the film out because it also marked that it has 10 films but it has like 4. The red light its still going on and I don't know whats going on. Can someone help me? Also, I haven't drop the camera, its been sitting on my shelf for a while.
Sorry for my english

Hi my camera is still flashing red even after changin it to AA duracell batteries & when i take a photo it just comes out white!!! help!!!
by Alyssia Divecha
My instax hit a wall but I was able to take a picture. After I took the picture the film got stuck in the slot, then I saw the red light and the light settings started to flash. I was searching online on ways to fix it and some people said that you just had to wait and leave it alone so it can reboot.
