A lens system has an optical path through a lens that is in contact with a liquid. The focal length of the lens system can be changed through introduction of a bubble in the optical path at the lens-liquid interface. The bubble changes the refractive index difference at the lens surface and thereby changes the focal length of the lens system. In a camera, the lens system can operate in a macro mode corresponding to a shorter focal length or a normal mode corresponding to a longer focal length.
