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.
In practice, zooming can add immense pleasure to photography.
The zoom operation is performed using the zoom button on the top of the camera body. "W" stands for
wide-angle and "T" for telephoto. 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.
