2019.07.03 published

The 'Utarundesu' that shines at weddings *

'Utarundesu' sold by FUJIFILM is probably the most famous instant camera in Japan *

It's popular because anyone can easily use it and take stylish, retro photos.

'Utarundesu' is also actively used as a part of wedding entertainment ♩

There are many fun ways to use it, such as giving it to kids to take photos freely or taking pictures of all the guests at the reception. *

However, there are voices saying they were disappointed after developing the photos...!

But with 'Utarundesu', you can't check what kind of photos you took until they are developed. *

This is a charm that is different from smartphones and DSLRs, but

when you actually develop the photos, there are voices saying, "The photos came out blurry and I couldn't tell what they were," or "Everything just looks too dark."

It's true that some people couldn't use 'Utarundesu' effectively... *

To avoid feeling sad later, I will introduce three tips for shooting that will greatly increase your success rate with 'Utarundesu' ♩

Shooting Tip 1: Stay 1m to 2m away *

The first tip is that you should stay about 1m to 2m away from the person or object you want to photograph! *

If you're too close, there's a high chance that the focus won't be right, and if you're too far away, it will become unclear what the main subject of the photo is.

So make sure to keep at least 1m distance ♡

Shooting Tip 2: Use the flash *

Actually, with 'Utarundesu', even when taking photos in bright places, the resulting pictures tend to be quite dark...!

Therefore, unless you are in a situation where the sun is really blazing outside, using the flash is a must. *

If you're giving 'Utarundesu' to guests at a wedding, make sure they use the flash ♩

Shooting Tip 3: Be careful not to get your fingers in the shot *

Many people may think it's obvious to avoid getting your fingers in the shot, but...

Since 'Utarundesu' has the viewfinder and the actual lens in different locations,

it's surprisingly easy for your fingers to accidentally end up in the shot, resulting in a completely dark photo!

So be sure to keep your fingers away from the front lens. *

Attach a message card with the tips ♡

And it's necessary to properly convey these three tips if you're giving 'Utarundesu' to kids at a wedding. *

Therefore, I recommend attaching a message card with tips along with a note saying "Feel free to take lots of photos!" ♡
