A zoom lens offers a continuously variable focal length, normally without the need to refocus A wide-angle zoom usually covers a range of focal lengths that offer a wide angle A standard zoom goes from a slight wide angle to telephoto and a telezoom covers a range of telephoto focal lengths Some zoom lenses are called super zooms because they cover a larger range of focal lengths from wide angle to longer telephoto Most compact and digital cameras come with some form of standard zoom When the lens is a zoom variety we've give the zoom ratio A 3x zoom doesn't necessarily mean that it will magnify the subject by 3x it's the magnification range from one extreme to the other
a lens in which the focal length can be adjusted over a wide range, giving the photographer, in effect, lenses of many focal lengths
Lens that is constructed to allow continuously variable focal length within a specific range
A lens in which the focal length can be adjusted over a wider range, giving the photographer, in effect, lenses of many focal lengths
A lens in which you adjust the focal length over a wide range In effect, this gives you lenses of many focal lengths
A lens with several moving elements which can be used to produce a continuous range of focal lengths
{i} system of lenses that can be rapidly adjusted for close or distant shots while keeping the image in focus
A lens with a focal length that can be changed during a shot A shift towards the telephoto range enlarges the image and flattens its planes together, giving the impression of moving into the scene's space, while a shift toward the wide-angle range does the opposite
A zoom lens is a lens that you can attach to a camera, which allows you to make the details larger or smaller while always keeping the picture clear. A camera lens whose focal length can be rapidly changed, allowing rapid change in the size of an image. a camera lens that can change from a distant to a close view
A lens of adjustable focal length You can zoom to increase or decrease the lens' magnifying power, making the subject bigger or smaller in the frame
Some electronic projectors come with zoom lenses and some don't This feature allows the user to place the projector in a fixed location and alter the projected image size by simply turning the zoom lense and then focusing the final image Small ultra-portable projectors may not have this feature You will need to determine if physically moving the projector closer or farther from the screen (for a non-zoom lens product) is a challenge to how you set-up your presentations and purchase accordingly
A lens of adjustable focal length You zoom to increase or decrease the lens's magnifying power, making the subject bigger or smaller in the frame
Lenses that are capable of changing their focal length in real time This is an extraordinarily complicated optical trick and most consumer lenses do a poor job of it Until you have eaten enough ramen noodles to afford a professional zoom lenses (usually those > $1000), stick with fixed focal length lenses
A lens on which the focal length can be varied, as opposed to a fixed focal length lens Zooms come in various focal length ranges, such as 35 to 105mm; all focal lengths including and within this range can be utilized
