STAR CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1994 An expert's advice Capture the holidays with camera that's right for you The holidays are one of the most popular seasons for pic- ture-taking--with good reason. There are family celebrations, tree-decorating sessions, holi- day meals and gift-giving to record and remember. The holidays are also the per- fect time of year to give someone a new, automatic 35mm camera. Todays 35mm cameras are easier to use than ever, and they take super high- quality pictures that let you see what was really in the scene rather than just a blurry approximation. What's more, these little cameras are more affordable and have features that a few years ago were found on only extremely sophisticat- ed--and expensive--models. Expert Suggestions Here, from the experts at Fuji Photo Film, are some features to look for when buying a compact camera: * Focus--Most compact cam- eras have auto focus or fixed focus. A fixed-focus camera makes a great starter model for a young beginner photographer. Auto focus is more flexible and generally produces sharper pic- tures, but it usually costs more. Another feature to look for is "focus lock." Many cameras have their focusing points in the center of the frame. Consequently, if your main sub- ject is to one side, it may not be in. foeus.. Focus lock-allows. you - to overcome that problem. * Loading--Many new cam- eras have mechanisms that take the guesswork and anxiety out of loading film. Most Fuji cameras, for example, feature "drop-in" loading that's as sim- ple as putting bread in a toaster. Ask the salesperson to demonstrate the loading procedure. * Lenses--For added ver- satility and convenience, many 35mm compact cameras feature either dual or zoom lenses. A dual lens model will generally allow you to switch between a wide-angle and a telephoto lens, each with a particular focal length. A zoom lens, on the oth- er hand, allows more precise framing of a scene since it offers a full range of focal lengths. * Flash--Nearly every com- pact camera has a built-in flash, but check to be sure it's automatic. Some less expensive cameras require you to deter- mine if you need flash and to switch it on. Red eyes are the result of the flash being reflect- ed from blood vessels in the eyes. It can be minimized or eliminated by special camera features. The Fuji Discovery Mini Dual Plus, for example, beams a light on the subject before the flash fires. That light constricts the subjects' pupils and reduces the red-eye effect. And when you buy that spe- cial holiday gift camera for fam- ily or friends, be sure to pick up some film and batteries (if necessary), so the recipient can start recording holiday memo- ries right away.
