Fujifilm Instax Share SP-2 Printer with Highly Welcome Improvements (Finally!!!)


Recommended Posts

I'm more interested in this than any lenses or camera bodies atm.

I have a LG Pocket Photo printer, which is cheaper to print on and the actual print size is larger 3" X 2" corner to corner (compared to SP1); however, it is slow to print, and can not print direct from camera, the image has to be copied to tablet/phone first.

It does have a recargable battery, but it can only print about 10 photographs before requiring a re-charge.

 

The print quality of the zero ink paper is ok, but from what i've seen, the SP1 is a little better, however if the SP2 has the following it will be on my list of things to buy (near the top):

 

1:- Direct Printing from camera (I expect this)

2:- Decent battery length (30+ photos)

3- Priced similar to SP1 (competitively to competition)

4 - Film priced competitively (ideally less than 50p a photograph)

5- larger print (not a deal breaker, but would be nice)

but will it work with Fuji-x cameras?
​I can't find confirmation anywhere

 

(Then again I can't find confirmation that the SP1 supports Fuji-x on the SP1 page, you can on the cameras pages though )

It's buried in my X-E2 manual V4.00 (EN p. 123), but connection instructions for Instax printers are there. There is note that says "The area printed is smaller than the area visible in the LCD monitor." Which means there is a mandatory crop and you can't control it. No exposure/color controls. No templates. Good to know it can be done, but I think I'd rather use my phone or iPad to edit before printing.

    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
    • I used this for the latest firmware no problems. https://fujifilm-x.com/en-gb/support/download/firmware/cameras/x-t2/
    • I was just about to point that out, in my defense.
