Patent ID: 8767078

Claim:
A photographic system configured to maximize zoom magnification and picture clarity with one or more levels of zoom, providing image stabilization, accurate metering, and auto focus confirmation, comprising: a camera; a telephoto length mirror lens with a thread attachment configured to screw into a camera mount adapter; the camera mount adapter which includes one or more electronic connectors on a non-transitory programmable autofocus confirmation chip, the camera mount adapter further including threads that screw onto the telephoto length mirror lens; and the programmable autofocus confirmation chip attached to the camera mount adapter, which is uniquely programmed with one or more specifications of the lens, the programmable autofocus confirmation chip being programmable to convince the camera that the telephoto length mirror lens is a known system lens, such that camera functionality provided to known system lenses is provided when using the telephoto length mirror lens, the programmable autofocus confirmation chip being further programmable with f-stop information for proper metering and focal length information for image stabilization respectively, wherein this focal length information calibrates the appropriate amount of image stabilization necessitated by the telephoto length mirror lens, and wherein this focal length information exaggerates sensor shift to counteract any determined magnifications of shake from the telephoto length mirror lens, and wherein the focal length and f-stop information is communicated and transmitted from the programmable autofocus confirmation chip electronic connectors through one or more contact pins of the camera to calculate an appropriate exposure and increase clarity using image stabilization.
