First, we need to find the balance Emil had to pay after making the down payment.

Balance = Total price - Down payment
Balance = $268.26 - $12.00
Balance = $256.26

Monthly payment = Balance / Number of months
Monthly payment = $256.26 / 6
Monthly payment = $42.71

Therefore, Emil's monthly payment for the camera was $42.71.
