THE MOST ADVANCED AUTOMATIC INSTANT CAMERA
The ultimate instant camera for beginners and experts alike, the Lomo’Instant Automat is perfect for fuss-free, everyday shooting. Because aperture, shutter speed and flash output adjust automatically, the Lomo’Instant Automat is always ready – all you need to do is shoot. And with a range of creative shooting modes that let you turn the flash off and experiment with exposure, you won’t be short of options. Seize the moment, snap the shot and hold your perfectly-exposed memory in your hands just seconds later.

PACKED WITH LOMOGRAPHY’S SIGNATURE CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES
Jam-packed with features but super simple to use, the Lomo’Instant Automat makes creativity easy. Focusing quickly becomes second nature thanks to the straight-forward 3-step zone-focusing system and its characteristic click & stop feeling. Easily keep track of how many shots you have left with the nifty digital light counter, shoot unlimited multiple exposures and long exposures up to 30 seconds, take a massive group selfie with the remote control lens cap, mix it up with a Close-up, Wide-Angle or Fisheye lens attachment or add a pop of color to your flash by covering it with one of four Color Gels. Shake up your point of view, stretch your imagination and never be afraid to try something new.

A METICULOUSLY DESIGNED OBJECT INSIDE AND OUT
Small enough to take with you wherever you go, the Lomo’Instant Automat is available in sleek black, minimalist white, sophisticated red leather and a special design available exclusively to Kickstarter backers. Delivered in a nifty box filled with goodies including photo clips, glue dots, magnet stickers and paper photo stands, you won’t be short of inspiration. Stick your favorite shots on your fridge, give them to your friends, or post them to your mom – the creative possibilities go way beyond the click of the shutter.
