With a self-timer, you can easily take group shots or selfies without needing someone to press the shutter button for you. The zoom function allows you to get closer to your subject without physically moving closer, giving you more flexibility when composing your shots.

In addition, the Yashica ez Zoom also has a flash function that lets you take well-lit photos in low-light situations. This is particularly useful when you're shooting indoors or at night, and don't have access to natural light sources. Despite these features, the Yashica ez Zoom remains a relatively small camera, making it easy to carry with you wherever you go.
