fixed lens
Single focal length
A fixed lens is a camera lens that cannot be removed or interchanged—it's permanently attached to the camera body.
Compact cameras and smartphones have fixed lenses, unlike DSLRs or mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lens systems.
The term sometimes refers to a prime lens (one with a single focal length rather than zoom capability), though this usage conflates two different concepts.
