It means the zoom power, i.e. how much magnification is possible at the long end of the zoom.
A zoom lens is a feature included on many digital camers. On traditional, manual cameras, the zoom lens was attached to the primary lens or used in place of the primary lens. Most digital camers have some type of zoom lens. This allows the individual to "zoom" in on an object, somewhat like binoculars, for a closer view and photo. On traditional cameras, the zoom had to me worked manually, by turning the lens or by extending it by hand.
A zoom lens is a lens of a camera which contains a mechanical assembly of inner lenses, which allow the focal length of the camera to be rapidly altered.
A zoom lens you can go from one focal length to another such as 70-200mm and a fixed is one focal length such as 50mm
With the zoom of the lens, I could capture distant objects with my camera.
do you meen zoom lens anyway you get them at hethrome city
The 12x on a zoom camera means the digital cropping of an image which is enlarged in size. This creates the illusion of a zoom effect. So basically the lens can crop forward to get a closer look of something 12x.
For basic photography you would do well with a basic zoom lens. Just a short zoom lens should handle most photographs for a casual photographer.
Yes Zoom lenses are very sufficient for birdwatching.
It depends on the lens one has on it at the time. The lens is interchangeable.
24-105MM Zoom Lens is the best for me.
This is a Zoom lens with a focal length of between 75 and 300 mm.
