That is why in this article we will be going over the reasons why your Instax Mini 40 keeps blinking orange light and what you can do to fix it.
Why Is Instax Mini 40 Blinking/ Flashing Orange Light?
When you see the orange blinking light in your Instax Mini camera it means that it is low in power and you need to charge it up to use it.
This generally means you need to replace the batteries in your Instax Mini 40 Camera.
However, if you have already replaced the batteries and still see the blinking/flashing orange light then there can be other reasons for that.
The reasons can vary as to why you are seeing the Instax Mini 40 blinking orange light continuously after you have just replaced the battery.
We have discussed some of these reasons in detail below.
1. The Flash Is Charging
The first reason could be that the flash is charging and that is why the orange light keeps blinking in your Instax Mini 40.
2. Failing Batteries
If the batteries are failing or weak then also your Instax Mini 40 will keep blinking and not stop.
However, as you have just replaced the batteries it could be that the new batteries are not working properly or are weak.
If your new batteries are not Alkaline batteries then that could be the reason why it keeps blinking orange light as Instax Mini 40 only works well with Alkaline batteries.
3. Technical Bug In Instax Mini 40
If there is a bug in the Instax Mini 40 then that can also be the reason why your Instax Mini is not working properly and is continuously showing the orange blinking light.
