Introduction

A new Instax Mini 90 Film Cartridge is required for this process. The right size for this camera is 86mm x 54mm. This replacement is simple, but if you do not have the proper film cartridge, you will get an error notification from the camera. To get the most out of your film, keep it in a cool, dry place, and refrain from removing the cartridge while there are still exposures left on it.

    • Turn ON the camera, and flip it over so that the back cover is visible.

    • Unlock the back cover. It should automatically spring open. If there is an old film cartridge loaded in the camera, remove it.

    • Unwrap the new film cartridge, taking care to not touch the film inside. Only handle the film cartridge by its plastic shell.

    • Line up the small, yellow line on the cartridge with the corresponding yellow line inside the camera. The yellow line on the cartridge should be facing up, away from the camera.

Having an issue with the film pack not loading. Have tried resetting, removing battery etc. Any ideas?

I’m having the same problem and I’ve tried everything. Someone help! The film simply isn’t being recognized (no blinking E or anything like that).

I am not too sure how to fix that, but definitely try contacting Fujifilm, as they know much more about their products and do repairs as well! https://www.fujifilmusa.com/support/Serv...

I have a fujifilm instax mini evo hybrid black instant camera but it does not detect film. The message of putting a new cartridge keeps popping-up. Do you know what could be the cause?
