FAQs

Does the camera require ink cartridges?

No, the myFirst Camera Insta 20 uses thermal printing technology and does not require any ink cartridges. It prints directly onto special thermal paper.

How many photos can be printed per roll of thermal paper?

Approximately 60 sheets of thermal paper can be printed per roll. The included sticker sheets may yield a different number of prints.

What is the benefit of the front OLED screen?

The front OLED screen is primarily for framing selfies. It can display emojis, battery status, and a countdown, making it easier for children to position themselves for self-portraits.

Can I take photos and videos even if I don't want to print them?

Yes, you can take photos and record Full HD videos and save them to a microSD card without printing them immediately.

How long does the battery last?

The camera is equipped with an 800 mAh battery that allows for extended photo sessions. The exact usage time can vary depending on activity and the use of the intelligent idle mode.

Are the printed photos waterproof?

Thermal prints are generally not waterproof. They are best kept away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve their quality.

What size microSD card can I use?

The camera supports microSD cards up to 32GB. A Class 10 card is recommended for optimal performance, especially for video recording.

Troubleshooting

Camera will not turn on

Ensure the camera is fully charged. Check that the charging cable is properly connected. Try a different USB port or adapter.

Photos are not printing

Check if the thermal paper roll is correctly loaded and has paper remaining. Ensure the paper compartment is securely closed. Verify that the printer mechanism is not jammed.

Poor print quality (faded or unclear)

Ensure the thermal paper is loaded correctly with the print side facing the correct direction. Check the paper for any damage. Thermal prints can fade over time, especially with exposure to heat or sunlight.

Camera not recognizing microSD card

Ensure the microSD card is formatted correctly (FAT32 is usually recommended). Try re-inserting the card. Use a compatible microSD card (up to 32GB, Class 10).

Video recording issues

Ensure sufficient free space on the microSD card. Check that the card is inserted correctly and is of adequate speed (Class 10 recommended for video).
