FFTZ

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 Zoom function 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."
