TOKYO, July 1, 2026 — FUJIFILM Corporation announced the launch of two new products in its QuickSnap single-use camera lineup, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year: the waterproof model “QuickSnap Active” and the black-and-white film model “QuickSnap Black and White.” “QuickSnap Active” is scheduled to be available in early August, and “QuickSnap Black and White” is scheduled to be available from September 2026 onward.

First introduced in July 1986, QuickSnap, the world’s first single-use camera, was developed with the concept of enabling anyone to take photos easily, anytime and anywhere. It expanded the role of photography beyond capturing special occasions such as travel and events, making it possible to casually document everyday life and thereby broadening the reach of photographic culture.
QuickSnap marks its 40th anniversary in July 2026 and has sold more than 1.7 billion units worldwide to date. Today, its unique characteristics, including the excitement of not knowing how photos will turn out until development and the distinctive, atmospheric quality of the images, continue to resonate with a wide range of users, particularly among younger generations.

At this milestone, Fujifilm will launch two new products, “QuickSnap Active” and “QuickSnap Black and White,” which further expand the range of shooting scenes and creative expressions with QuickSnap.
The waterproof model “QuickSnap Active” enables underwater photography at depths of up to 10 meters. It can be used with ease in a wide range of active scenes, including at the beach or pool, during winter sports, and while camping, allowing users to capture the experience and excitement of the moment as they see it and preserve it in distinctive photographs.
The “QuickSnap Black and White” model, featuring black-and-white film, enables users to capture refined black and white images that highlight the subject without the need for special settings or advanced techniques. It allows anyone to easily transform everyday moments into artistic photographs.

Alongside these products, Fujifilm will also launch the “QuickSnap Hand Strap,” an accessory that allows users to carry QuickSnap with ease. In addition, a special 40th anniversary logo has been developed to further communicate the enduring value of QuickSnap, which has been loved for decades.

Fujifilm will continue to expand the QuickSnap photographic experience, enabling anyone to easily enjoy film photography by simply advancing the film and pressing the shutter.
