Hi! I picked up my Instax wide 300 after a year or so in storage (in a box, no batteries), went through a couple of film packs with no apparent issues, then at some point realized that the flash was firing inconsistently. The red indicator lights up correctly, but it will only fire once in a while, and I would say it's less and less frequent (maybe once in 5-10 shots?). I tried freshly charged batteries. The forced-flash button of course isn't it. For context, the camera was bought in 2017, so it's relatively old, but has been used sporadically and it has not been dropped or exposed to saltwater that I remember. Everything else works correctly.
Is there anything I can try other than looking into a new one? It's a fairly limited camera in available light...
