The flash of previous instax models always emits light in dark places. In the bulb mode of instax mini 90, the flash is turned off automatically, even expressing the quality created by an incandescent light as it is. This mode is useful in places where flash photography is prohibited.
The hangers appear too bright with the wooden texture spoiled due to the light from the flash.
The look of the wooden hangers under the room light is more beautifully depicted.

Blurry trail of a person's movement

Four images of the same person can be captured.
Trick with a penlight
One of the best way to enjoy bulb mode shooting is playing with lights. Draw text or shapes with a penlight while the shutter is open. The light trail will appear in the photo. This sample photo was taken with the shutter kept open for 10 seconds, the longest time for the bulb mode, allowing the heart-shaped light trail to be completed.
Use of a penlight makes photography more exciting.
