Lomography Diana Mini Camera

The square mode produces 36 classic square-format images on a standard roll of 35mm film. The half-frame mode splits each frame in two, allowing you to capture 72 rectangular images on the same roll, which is great for saving money on film and creating diptychs.

The camera itself is fully mechanical and does not require batteries to take photos. However, you will need one AA battery if you plan to use the included external flash unit.

This is a manual camera, so you have two aperture settings to choose from: f/8 for cloudy conditions and f/11 for sunny days. The shutter speed is fixed at 1/60s, though you can use the 'Bulb' setting for long exposures if you are using a tripod.

Yes, the camera features a 'Bulb' mode that keeps the shutter open as long as you hold the shutter release button down. Because of this, it includes an integrated tripod mount and a cable release attachment to help you keep the camera steady during long exposures.

The Diana Mini features manual zone focusing. You simply adjust the lens to one of the preset distance zones—typically ranging from close-up to infinity—depending on how far your subject is from the camera.

No, the camera does not have a built-in flash. However, it comes with a detachable external flash unit that connects via the hot shoe, which is essential for shooting in low-light environments.
