disagree  Tony M: 'ajustable' hardly seems to me to correctly translate 'bending' in this context.

Explanation:
Nouvel appareil photo numérique 3D à 2 objectifs avec capacité ...

La taille compacte de ce nouvel appareil a été atteinte grâce à l'utilisation de deux nouveaux zooms 4x équipés d'un système étroit à trajet optique replié.

To reduce camera thickness but retain good light collection and high-resolution capabilities, Tremblay and colleagues replaced the traditional lens with a "folded" optical system that bends and focuses light within a single mirror-coated, 5-millimeter thick calcium fluoride optical crystal. In contrast, traditional zoom lenses generally rely on a series of separate mirrors and lenses to bend and focus light.
The term "folded" refers to the fact that the light bending and focusing elements� the optic surfaces�are all etched onto the same side of the crystal, thanks to recent advances in the mechanical machining process of diamond turning.

système à trajet optique aplatie


Explanation:
that would best describe what is a "bending optical system"; the main point of the system is to "flatten" the path of the light against the surface of the camera or the smartphone, to avoid having a protruding zoom; the "bending" of the optical path is only a mean to that end.
