The 35mm zooms fall in the 2X to 4X range. A small frame in the center of the viewfinder shows where the lens will focus. If your subject is to the side, you first aim squarely at it, then lock in the focus by pressing the shutter release part way and holding it. You then reframe the shot with the subject at the side and press the release all the way. All the cameras also have a way to reduce red-eye, which sometimes results when a subject stares straight at the flash.
Some cameras fire a series of preflashes to shrink the subject's pupils and reduce red-eye.
Others shine a small light at the subject's eyes. Even with such remedies, however, flash pictures from APS cameras are more likely to produce photos with red-eye because the cameras have little space between lens and flash. Most are lightweight, fairly compact and easy to use. An impressive 3.7X zoom range, panorama mode and a macro setting. A weak flash, but it lets you change film in midroll.
