I've heard about camera zooms, like 2x or 10x, but what does 50x zoom mean? Is it just a marketing gimmick or does it really allow you to see things 50 times closer? How does it work and is it useful in real-life situations?

The zoom ratio of a lens is determined by its longest focal length divided by the shortest.

For instance, a lens capable of zooming from 24mm to 1200mm possesses a zoom ratio.

To calculate this, one divides 1200mm by 24mm.
