Over on this page is a gallery of photos that were shot with the Canon Prima Zoom 76, all related to the first-ever Japan GT Festival to be held outside the Land of the Rising Sun. The first of them, a group photo - or actually only a particular section since the 38mm lens' coverage was not wide enough to include the other team members as I chose to use the 76mm end to get a closer view of the selected drivers and one glamour girl. The next photo is of some of the fans waiting for their turns to have a feel of the speed of a suitably-modified car for GT racing - via a lap around the circuit by a designated GT driver. Group photo Fans waiting for their turns     Another group waiting for their turns One of the teams during the pit-lane visit The photos above as well as those below show just how versatile the Canon Prima Zoom 76 is. All the photos used in this field-test were shot with an ISO 100 color reversal film. However, it is better for the users of this model to opt for a color negative film of ISO 200 or higher speed for all their shootings, especially when the built-in flash is to be utilised for both indoor and night-time conditions as this will greatly extend the coverage of the flash concerned.

Without the fill-in flash, these photos would have been slightly underexposed due to the smaller variable maximum apertures of the camera (f/4.2-7.8) as there would not have been enough light to ensure a properly exposed photo with an ISO 100 film. These four photos do look brighter due to the use of the fill-in flash. If I had opted not to use the flash, these photos might not even be selected as test examples for this issue and I would have to use other subject matters for this field-test with the Prima Zoom 76. All in all, the Canon Prima Zoom 76 makes for a good camera for people who want good results but don't know much (or don't want to know) about photography and other technical details.
