A varifocal lens, often referred to as a zoom lens, is a type of lens that allows the user to change the focal length, enabling a variable field of view. This means that the lens can be adjusted to focus at different distances, allowing for a range of magnifications without the need to switch lenses. Varifocal lenses are commonly used in various applications, including photography, videography, and surveillance cameras.
