Abstract: Folded cameras with a total track length (TTL), f numbers smaller than 1.2 and large fields of view, e.g. of at least 60 degrees. Such folded cameras may comprise a lens with N≥7 lens elements, an image sensor and an optical path folding element for providing a folded optical path between an object and the lens, wherein an aperture stop of the lens is located closer to a first surface of the first lens element facing the object than a distance d that fulfills d/TTL=0.2.

Abstract: Dual-aperture digital cameras with auto-focus (AF) and related methods for obtaining a focused and, optionally optically stabilized color image of an object or scene. A dual-aperture camera includes a first sub-camera having a first optics bloc and a color image sensor for providing a color image, a second sub-camera having a second optics bloc and a clear image sensor for providing a luminance image, the first and second sub-cameras having substantially the same field of view, an AF mechanism coupled mechanically at least to the first optics bloc, and a camera controller coupled to the AF mechanism and to the two image sensors and configured to control the AF mechanism, to calculate a scaling difference and a sharpness difference between the color and luminance images, the scaling and sharpness differences being due to the AF mechanism, and to process the color and luminance images into a fused color image using the calculated differences.
