I've got a camera here which has "f=7.6mm 1:3.2" written on the lens. How far does the camera have to be from the person/object if I want to take a photo while minimizing distortion?
 
generally zoom to the end of of telephoto range (the single tree icon), and shot at the long end not the wide end

wide angle portraits are very myspace if thats what your after, generally telephoto is the better look for portraits

zoom your camera into the subject is proberly the best method
