Which is the interest of the button "Instant" for the Effect Focus Camera ?

Enabling that will "warp" the camera to the location instead of "scrolling" to it gradually. I don't think we ever used it in a scenario.
Note that ideally for event popups you should use the "target hex" control that comes with this trigger effect, not use a seperate Focus Camera effect.

Thank you for your answer.
If the button "Instant" is useless, why not to delete it ?

Because sometimes there is not an event popup involved, yet you want the player to see something (like when using the Reveal Area trigger). If you have a large map, scrolling a long distance can take some time particularly if the Map Scroll Speed is set to slow. The "Instant" setting takes the view to the desired location immediately.
