The SUPERZOOM 70G/80G's 38 - 70mm/38 - 80mm high-performance zoom lens features two aspherical lens elements that assure exceptionally crisp, distortion-free imaging with minimum weight and bulk. In addition, the 38 - 70mm/38 - 80mm zoom range provides framing flexibility that makes it easy for users of all levels to achieve the composition they want.

Full Range of Flash Functions
A built-in flash with six flash modes makes it easy to take beautiful flash photos.
Auto Flash Mode: Fires the flash automatically in low light.
Red-Eye Reduction Mode: Helps the subject's eyes adjust to the bright light of the flash by activating a bright LED on the front of the camera before the flash fires.
Flash Off Mode: Prevents the flash from firing; ideal for available-light photography and situations where flash photography is prohibited. Fill-In Flash Mode: Fires the flash with every shot. Can be used to erase unwanted shadows when shooting in bright sunlight or other high-contrast lighting conditions.
Night Scene Mode: Fires the flash to illuminate the foreground subject, while applying exposure compensation to help ensure that background scenery (city lights, sunsets, etc.) is also captured.
Red-Eye Reduction Night Scene: This mode reduces the red-eye effect in pictures taken in the Night Scene mode. Except for a bright LED activated, it is identical to the Night Scene mode.
