Abstract: Systems, imaging devices and methods for creating background blur in camera panning or motion. Using an imaging device with an image sensor, a method may comprise selecting an object to be tracked in a scene, recording an image or an image stream, and aligning the selected object optically and/or digitally to a same position on the image sensor while the selected object moves relative to the imaging device or relative to the scene, thereby creating a blurred image background and/or foreground relative to the selected object and a sense of panning or motion.

Abstract: Systems and methods for eliminating or mitigating T-effects on Hall sensors. A system may comprise a magnet-coil arrangement for providing a relative movement therebetween to obtain a relative position, a Hall sensor for sensing the relative movement, a temperature sensor located in proximity of the Hall sensor for providing temperature sensing, and a controller having two or more channels coupled to Hall sensor and to the temperature sensor and configured to control the relative movement and to provide, based on the temperature sensing, a temperature correction input to the Hall sensor for compensating a temperature effect on the Hall sensor sensing.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a camera module for use in a portable electronic device. The camera module comprises a shiftable lens barrel comprising an objective assembly holding coaxially one or more lens elements defining an optical axis. The camera module has a retractable cover window. The lens barrel has an operative state and a collapsed state and the cover window has a corresponding extended and retracted position. The camera further comprises an actuator including a driving motor; a pop-out assembly actuatable by the actuator. The pop-out assembly includes a driving cam configured to be driven rotationally by the actuator, a carrier configured to receive the lens barrel and an image sensor configured to image a field of view of the objective assembly when the lens barrel is in the operative state.
