ABSTRACT:
A zoom lens system includes two lens components, and zooming is performed by moving a first lens component. The zooming is performed along a zoom curve such that the first lens component is moved out so that in-focus condition is obtained at a subject distance predetermined with respect to each focal length. As the subject distance, an excess focal length or a subject distance where the far side of the depth of field is the maximum flash reachable distance or a subject distance where the near side of the depth of field is the shortest object distance or a subject distance where the object distance or the magnification is fixed is set according to the purpose.
