Samsung WB350F Lens specs

The WB350F has got an inbuilt lens providing a focal range of 23-483mm making it a 21.0 x zoom which is ideal and does let you zoom right in.

At the widest 23mm, the lens has an aperture of f2.8 and that's quite slow and not very good for low light circumstances and you will likely find it hard to get a shallow depth of field. You will likely also need to increase the ISO which causes noisy files.
