  • Based on the zoom equation, the dynamic optics principle and the process analysis of the Gauss calculation for zoom systems, it is pointed out that the primary factors which influence the cam curve are the focal length of the zoom lens group and compensating lens group, and the distance between them. The relationships between the three parameters were discussed. The method to optimize the cam curve is proposed.
