FujiFilm AX350 Lens specifications

The AX350 is equipped with a built in lens and a focal range of 33-165mm giving it a 5.0 x zoom which isn't really great but it could be valuable in certain situations.

At the widest 33mm, it offers an aperture of f3.3 making it kind of slow and not great in low light events and you will find it difficult to capture a shallow depth of field. You will likely also have to boost the ISO setting producing noisy images. Towards the tele end, 165mm comes at f5.9 which is quite slow and you will need to apply slower shutter speeds.
