The Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple is a soft lavender version of Fujifilm’s newest instax mini, and it is the natural pick for people who glue their photos into things: journals, scrapbooks, planners and handmade cards. Credit-card-sized prints fit neatly on a notebook page, Close-Up Mode lets you fill the frame with a coffee cup or a pressed flower from 30 cm, and the new self-timer puts you in the shot when you want a page about yourself.

How Dreamy Purple Looks
Dreamy Purple is a pale, milky lavender with a faint grey undertone, not a bold violet. The body and the lens barrel share the same shade, and the metallic silver instax mini 13 logo on the side gives it a slightly cosmic sheen in the light. Next to washi tape, pastel pens and kraft-paper notebooks, the Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple looks like part of the same desk set.
Lavender also sits between warm and cool, so it works with both gold and silver accessories and with most phone cases and bags. If pink feels too sweet and white too plain, this is the middle ground.
Journals, Scrapbooks and Planners
An instax mini print measures about the size of a bank card, with a 62 × 46 mm picture area, which is small enough to share a page with handwriting. Two prints fit side by side on an A5 notebook spread with space for dates, tickets and notes underneath. Many journalers keep the Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple on their desk and shoot one print a day, so the notebook becomes a visual diary of the month.
Let prints develop fully before sticking them down. Fujifilm quotes about 90 seconds, longer when the room is cold, and bending the print while it develops can mark the image. Glue dots, photo corners and washi tape all hold mini prints well without damaging them.
Close-Up Mode for Small Details
Twist the lens of the Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple past the power-on position and it switches to Close-Up Mode, for subjects 30 to 50 centimetres from the lens. This is the setting journalers use most: a latte, a handwritten letter, a bouquet, a new pair of earrings, a ticket stub. Parallax correction moves the viewfinder framing to match the lens in this mode, so what you centre in the finder lands in the centre of the print.
For objects lying on a table, stand over them and shoot straight down in daylight near a window. The flash fires every time, so a matte surface reflects less glare than glossy paper.
Pastel Galaxy Film and the Self-Timer
Fujifilm announced a new instax mini film alongside the mini 13, called Pastel Galaxy, with a cosmic theme, sparkly glossy borders and soft colours. Any instax mini film works in the Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple, but Pastel Galaxy frames pair naturally with the lavender body for themed journal spreads.
The self-timer covers the pages about you. Stand the camera on the wedge built into the strap, choose 10 seconds, and step back for a full outfit or desk-setup shot. Use 2 seconds when holding the camera yourself; the short delay reduces shake.
The Rest, in Brief
Automatic exposure works from LV 5.0 to 14.5 at ISO 800 and picks shutter speeds between 1/2 and 1/250 sec. The flash reaches 0.3 to 2.2 m and recharges in 7 seconds or less. A pair of AA alkaline batteries covers roughly 10 packs of film, and the Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple powers down after 5 minutes without use.
Who This Is Not For
Anyone who needs to reprint. Each shot on the Instax Mini 13 Dreamy Purple produces one original print and nothing else, so if a journal page and a friend both need the same photo, you have to take it twice.
Anyone who wants large or wide prints. The mini format is the smallest instax size; for landscapes and groups, a wider format suits better.
Anyone who wants full manual control. There is no flash-off switch, no exposure compensation and no manual focus beyond the two lens positions.
