Answering the most popular questions about film cameras: "Do you have to shake the film when taking a picture?" or "How do images occur without ink?" Today, instax Thailand will explain the questions you may have about how images from film are formed on instant film when we take pictures with an instax camera.

instax film

On every instax film, there is a window for the photosensitive material, and the back film is there to support the exposure of light to create the image on the front.

Manual camera

When we press the shutter, the lens shines light onto the film behind us. As the film is ejected, the imaging fluid is squeezed down and coats the entire film. Shaking the film can cause the coating to become uneven. Wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute and the image will gradually become clearer on the front.

Hybrid camera and printer

The photograph is sent to a camera or printer where the exposure head projects light onto the film behind it. As the film is ejected, the photoresist is forced down and coats the entire film. Shaking the film can cause the photoresist to become uneven. Wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute and the image will gradually become clearer on the front.
