Digital Audio-Accompanying Cameras

The FUJIFILM Instax Mini LiPlay Prints Pictures with a QR Code

— June 15, 2019 — Tech
The FUJIFILM Instax Mini LiPlay camera is the latest product from the brand that aims to infuse instant photography with an additional touch of multimedia functionality. The point-and-shoot camera can record 10 seconds of audio that will then be digitally connected to a photo once it has been printed via a QR code. Users can then scan the picture with their smartphone to hear the accompanying audio for a more immersive multimedia experience.

The FUJIFILM Instax Mini LiPlay camera sends audio data to the photographer's smartphone wirelessly via Bluetooth to streamline connectivity capabilities by minimizing interference. The camera is rounded off with a 5MP CMOS sensor, an F2.0 lens in the front and 2.7 inch LCD screen on the rear.
