There are a number of interesting features that help this camera stand out from other instant cameras. One is the lens cap on the front of the camera, which doubles as a remote shutter release. Not only does it protect your camera and the 90mm lens from dust and scratches, but you can press it like button to trigger your camera from a distance.
