FUJIFILM Corporation is pleased to announce its collaboration with T3 PHOTO FESTIVAL TOKYO 2026, an international photography festival showcasing diverse photographic expressions from Japan and around the world. As part of this collaboration, Fujifilm will present the GFX Challenge Grant Program 2025 Exhibition at the KYOBASHI EDOGRAND 1F Galleria in Tokyo.

Captured with the GFX System, featuring a large format image sensor, the exhibited works explore diverse landscapes, cultures, and the unique stories that thrive across the globe. The exhibition will feature a wide range of projects, including documentaries that closely observe everyday life, intimate portraits that reveal the essence of their subjects, breathtaking works created during the extraordinary challenge of summiting Mount Everest, and visual narratives that harness the exceptional image quality and advanced video capabilities of the GFX System.

Located in the heart of Tokyo, the KYOBASHI EDOGRAND 1F Galleria offers an inviting exhibition environment characterized by its expansive atrium, open architecture, and abundant natural light. In this comfortable and accessible space, where artworks, the city, and its visitors connect organically, each project can be experienced at a relaxed pace, allowing visitors to fully engage with the stories embedded within every work.

This exhibition marks the beginning of a traveling showcase that will continue beyond Tokyo to Osaka and other locations around the world. The fifteen stories presented here, each born from different countries, cultures, and perspectives, will embark on a new journey across borders and communities. We invite visitors to encounter these unique narratives in Kyobashi, Tokyo, the first stop on this global tour, and discover the worlds observed by each creator through the remarkable storytelling power of photography and moving image.

Press Release

Fujifilm Launches Palm-top Size Camera “instax Pal 2™”

Delivering an elevated photographic experience with a premium design, enhanced usability and creative expression.

TOKYO, September 15, 2026 – FUJIFILM Corporation announces the launch of “instax Pal 2™” (Pal 2), a palm-top size camera that allows users to take photos anytime and anywhere, on October 9, 2026 in Japan.

Launched in October 2023, the instax Pal^™ is the first model in the instax^™ series specializing in taking pictures. Removal of the printing function enabled the instax Pal^™ to achieve a compact palm-top size. Through connectivity with smartphone printers and hybrid instant cameras, the instax Pal^™ introduced a new way to enjoy instax^™ photography, allowing users to create instax^™ prints from captured images. Since launch, the instax Pal^™ has gained popularity among users worldwide by allowing them to capture photos from creative and flexible angles.

The newly launched Pal 2 is the successor to the instax Pal^™. While retaining the compact palm-top design and ease of shooting of the instax Pal^™, the Pal 2 introduces an updated design and enhanced functionality. A top-mounted monitor enables users to check captured images immediately after shooting, while a newly equipped viewfinder, control dial and lever provide a richer photographic experience unique to a camera. With a premium semi-matte finish and refined styling, the Pal 2 is designed to complement a wide range of lifestyles and be carried as part of everyday fashion.

In addition, Pal 2 delivers improved image quality compared to the instax Pal^™, enabling richer reproduction of subjects and the atmosphere of each moment. Pal 2 offers a total of 30 effects that make it easy to create images with distinctive moods and styles, as well as the instax Animation^™ mode, which combines up to 10 consecutive shots into a flipbook-style animated video. With intuitive operation and diverse creative options, Pal 2 enables users to express their individuality with ease. While retaining the portability and spontaneity that made the instax Pal^™ so appealing, Pal 2 refines every aspect of the experience, from design and usability to creative expression, delivering an elevated photography experience.

Fujifilm will continue to expand the world of the instax^™ instant photo system by proposing new ways to enjoy photography through instax^™ prints.
