[. . . ] Make sure the camera is on Flash mode. When continuous flash shooting, there is sometimes a delay in the time required to recharge the battery. Shoot after the flash indicator appears in the viewfinder. -- 53 -- When flash shooting, peoples' eyes come out red. * Red-eye phenomenon is a common The camera does not work in extremely cold weather. *In low temperature conditions, batteries problem in flash photography. The phenomenon occurs because the retina behind the pupil of an eye reflects flash light. Shooting conditions such as brightness temporarily lose performance. Try to keep the camera warm. and darkness of surroundings also affect red-eye phenomenon. Intensity of red eye phenomenon will differ from person to person as it depends on dilation of the pupil. Generally, when the distance between the camera and the subject increases so does the occurence of red eyes. 23). -- 54 -- Zoom Lens Zoom Lens The Infinity Super Zoom 330 is equipped with a 38 --105 mm zom lens. A zoom is a lens with a focal length that changes when part of the lens moves. In the case of the Infinity Super Zoom 330, any focal length between 38 mm and 105 mm can be selected. The user, without moving, can change the composition of the photograph by zooming in for a close-up or out for a wide angle shot. In this way, the Infinity Super Zoom 330 makes extremely flexible photography possible that's equivalent to a camera with a number of interchangeable lenses. The zoom operation is performed using the zoom button on the top of the camera body. When the "T" is pressed, the lens moves forward towards the maximum length of 105 mm. When the "W" is pressed, it moves back towards the widest angle of 38 mm. On the top of the zoom lens, there are 38, 50, 70, 105 and MACRO indications; use these as a guide when zooming. 38 mm: This is a wide-angle shot which means that the lens is shorter. With this setting, because the angle of view is wide and the depth of field is greatest, sharp photographs with clear perspective and contrast can be obtained. 50 mm: The image is almost the same as that seen with the naked eye. At 50 mm, you can take a great portrait of 2 people or other subjects that would not look natural in a wide angle shot. With this focal length, many photographs can be taken over a wide range of applications, from snapshots and portraits to landscapes. (1) 38 mm 59° (2) 70 mm 34° (3) 105 mm 23° -- 55 -- When the lens is set to the maximum focal length of 105 mm, magnification is approximately three times greater than at 38 mm and you will be able to obtain genuine telephoto photographs. In contrast to wide-angle shots, the perspective is narrow, and the depth of the field becomes more shallow. [. . . ] Naturally the program takes any zoom setting into consideration and sets the aperture and shutter speed which are most appropriate for every shot. So that camera shake is less of a problem, the shutter speed will not be slower than 1 740 sec. When the subject is darker and requires a slower shutter speed, the flash fires automatically; in the slow-synchro fill-in or flash-off mode, stays open for as long as needed-up to a long 2 sec. (Broken line section) -- 59 -- Spot metering Among methods for measuring the amount of light, the most widely used is the "center - weighted average light metering system" (Fig. [. . . ]
