Majority of digital cameras have a fixed lens which is great for casual snapshots. But a lot of people usually find out that they want to do other things that at times exceed the capabilities of your camera.
For example, sometimes you want to take a photo of something further away, or closer up. A way to solve this problem is to use auxiliary lenses.
Some manufacturers such as Canon, Olympus and Nikon provide accessory lenses that can be used on cameras that have threaded lenses. They usually manufacture telephoto lenses to bring distant objects closer, wide angle lenses to squeeze more into the photo, or macro lenses to magnify the subject to get more detail.
Don't fret if your camera does not have lens threads, sometimes they provide special adapters that allow use of auxiliary lenses.
For example, Olympus C-x0x0 series cameras like the C-4040 can use auxiliary lenses/filters with a CLA-1 adapter (Tiffen makes a similar adapter) while the C-7x0 series like the C-700 can use the special CLA-4 adapter.
