Focal Length
The focal length range of the camera's optical zoom lens is 4.0 - 20.0 mm.
Angle of View
The difference between the angle view of a wide angle shot and a telephoto shot is that a wide angle shot captures the background, while the telephoto shot does not.
Compression
The subjects are a lot closer together in a telephoto shot than in a wide angle shot. In a wide angle shot, the subjects' heads are smaller than in a telephoto shot, where the person at the end looks the smallest. The telephoto shot captures a greater depth than the wide angle shot.
Lens Choice
A wide angle lens is less flattering for a portrait shot than a telephoto lens, where the wide angle lens makes the subject look distorted.
There is an apparent difference between a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens. It is best to use a wide angle lens when you are shooting a landscape, and it is best to use a telephoto lens when you are shooting a portrait.

How My Camera Sees Color In Light
In class today, we worked with different white balance settings.
White balance tries to remove colors from a photograph so that objects look neutral. A good camera balance will take the color temperature of a light source (e.g. warm, cold) and will change it to make it look neutral, similar to the way our eyes see it.
Daylight setting will keep a neutral setting. Tungsten setting will give a blue-like setting. Fluorescent setting will give a magenta-like setting. Auto white balance setting will give a yellow-like setting.
