Instax Mini cameras have some of the easiest controls of any modern camera. You switch on the camera by turning the lens, which has clear on and off positions. You twist it once to start the two-second timer mode. However, if you mess up the framing and want to try again, just twist the lever to cancel the timer. Still, the most fun I had with the Mini 13 was photographing my friends and using the viewfinder to frame the shots.
