- Video clips can be edited in a companion mobile app, including basic splicing and cinematic opening/ending templates.
- A physical "Eras" dial offers ten preset decade-inspired image styles spanning 1930 through 2020, with a 1960s Super 8–style setting and an 1980s color-negative look among the options.
- The body design references the 1965 FUJICA Single-8 camera and leans into retro styling.
- The camera includes Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth and supports a Direct Print function to print from a smartphone.
- Fujifilm announced the Mini Evo Cinema for Japan only and provided no launch price or complete technical specifications.
