It features a 38-65m zoom lens (it's worth noting that the zoom motor is very loud in this model if you're trying to be discreet, like at a museum). It's very easy to either cancel the flash or force the flash to fire (for filling shadows or backlight compensation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires a 2CR5 lithium battery (available as an option).
