The focussing of light as if by a lens.
Thank you so much. I am learning about zoom lensing. I am used to short lenses.

(slang) The process of shooting a film.
: Directed in low-down, good-spirited vulgar fashion by Bob (“Porky's") Clark, who took over from Don Zimmerman after two weeks of lensing, film is a genuine oddball.

"lensing" means: The focussing of light as if by a lens.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous. If your child uses it, context will usually make the meaning clear. A brief, curious question about where they heard it is generally enough to know whether to follow up.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

"lensing" means: The focussing of light as if by a lens.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
