Fftz Edit Meaning

1.

Abv. of "Flash For The Zoom."

Colloquialism often used by underwater

photographers working in the field, by

Aquarium patrons and photography

staff.

Specifically, the desire to switch the

Flash function of a camera to a higher

quality Zoomfunction in order to

capture a distant well-lit subject

ie shovelnose guitarfish in

medium light.

Often said out of frustration as a result

of inferior camera equipment unsuited

to the particular underwater photo

session going on.

Arielle: "This camera only has a flash. It's totally

unsuited to these oceanic lighting conditions."

Jim: "So, FFTZ...?"

Arielle: "... Definitely."

See flash, zoom, camera, photographer
