The lens also includes an optical image stabilizer, which moves an element of the lens to keep images steady(other cameras include electronic image stabilization, which helps the camera compensate for movement after the image is taken; optical stabilization tends to be more effective). This worked extremely well, compensating for camera shake on longer exposures and when we used the zoom.

Mouvement brusque de la main, coup de vent, lumière insuffisante, il existe une multitude de raisons pour rendre floue n'importe quelle photo. Or, à moins de toujours avoir sur soi un trépied [...] et de ne prendre des photos qu'en milieu parfaitement éclairé, le seul moyen de réussir ses clichés est de disposer d'un appareil à stabilisateur optique intégré. Ce système compense aussi bien les moindres mouvements de l'appareil que les longs temps d'obturation lorsque la lumière est trop faible. Les stabilisateurs optiques sont la plupart du temps composés d'une succession de lentilles motorisées correctrices.

[Taking Close-ups. ] To extend the lens enough to focus on objects at very close distances, you must insert an extension ring, a tube, or a bellows between the lens and the camera body. Extension rings and tubes are often available in sets of various lengths, so they may be used singly or in combination for a number of different extensions. There are also telescoping or so-called "zoom" extension tubes. 3, record 17, English, - extension%20tube

In addition to macro lenses with fixed focal lengths, there are also macro-zoom lenses that have a close-focusing capacity. These lenses magnify only up to one-quarter or one-third life size, and image quality in a critical enlargement may not match that of a normal macro lens. 2, record 18, English, - macrozoom%20lens

Stereozoom Microscopes. Mention was made earlier that the zoom concept is particularly well suited to stereomicroscope applications. This is due to the fact that the upper useful magnification range of numerical aperture objectives.(...)
