Also means
instantaneous
Usage Note
Instantáneo describes both literal speed (a reaction, a photo) and consumer products: café instantáneo (instant coffee). The noun instantánea (f) means a snapshot or candid photo. Do not confuse with inmediato, which stresses immediacy of sequence rather than brevity of duration.
