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

système à trajet optique replié / système optique replié
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
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.

Je vous remercie infiniment pour avoir choisi ma réponse comme étant la plus utile.Un choix qui m'honore venant d'une personne de votre trempe.
It's just a simple reflecting prism, not even as complex as the classic SLR 'pentaprism'.
I have hidden my answer because, with this belated context, it was clearly not appropriate to the ST context.
You will find a picture of that at about the middle of this page:

However, I suspect here we have a more technical meaning of 'bending' — but we do need to know what is actually involved. Certain ciné cameras I know did use a fibre-optic system to ensure the viewfinder image remained upright under all orientations; this could arguably be described as 'bending' but did not exactly involve refraction — or at least, refractive elements in the conventional sense..
I suspect the kind of 'bending' going on here is more a case of 'déviation', but it seems to me impossible to know without further information.
Je vous propose "Système de pliage optique"
