Fujifilm has revealed its new Instax Mini 11 (Mini 11), which is set for release in early April 2020. The camera is the latest addition to the company's "Instax" series of cameras which allow for instant printing of photos.   The Mini 11 is the first Instax model to introduce an "Automatic Exposure" function which enables the camera to automatically detect the level of ambient light in the frame when the shutter button is pressed. As a result, the camera will optimise the shutter speed and flash output accordingly. This allows users to snap pictures optimally exposed to the main subject of the photo as well as the background in all situations, whether it be in the bright outdoors or in a dark restaurant or party.   The new Mini 11 also introduces a new "Selfie Mode," which has perfected the art of close-up selfies. It's activated simply by pulling out the front end edge of the lens you've powered the camera on. The camera's design has also been completely revamped for optimal use. Not only is the Mini 11 thinner and lighter, it has a rounded body that makes it fit perfectly into users' hands. A different material from the main body of the camera is used around the lens to make it more stylish, and the "Instax" brand logo is engraved on the back.   The Mini 11 comes in five pale tone colours ((Blush Pink, Sky Blue, Charcoal Gray, Ice White and Lilac Purple) and two replaceable accessories for the shutter button.
