ZOOM LENS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310611 titled 'ZOOM LENS AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS

The abstract of the patent application describes a zoom lens with multiple lens units arranged from the object side to the image side. It includes a fixed first lens unit with positive refractive power, movable lens units with negative refractive powers for zooming, and a final fixed lens unit with positive refractive power closest to the image plane. The distance between adjacent lens units changes during zooming, and part of the first lens unit moves for focusing. The first lens unit consists of one negative lens and at least five positive lenses arranged in order from the object side to the image side.

  • First lens unit with positive refractive power fixed for zooming
  • Movable lens units with negative refractive powers for zooming
  • Final lens unit with positive refractive power fixed for zooming
  • Changes in distance between lens units during zooming
  • Part of the first lens unit moves for focusing
  • Composition of the first lens unit with one negative lens and at least five positive lenses
