Abstract: A dual-aperture camera comprising a first camera having a first sensor and a first image signal processor (ISP), the first camera operative to output a respective first camera output, a second camera having a second sensor and a second ISP, the second camera operative to output a respective second camera output, and a synchronization and operation control module configurable to control operation of one camera in a fully operational mode to provide a first frame and operation of the other camera in a partially operational mode to provide a second frame and to obtain a depth map from the first and second frames, whereby the partially operational mode of the other camera reduces the power consumption in comparison with a full operational mode of the other camera.

Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a folded camera module, comprising: a lens with a plurality of N lens elements along a lens optical axis divided into a lens element group G1, a lens element group G2 and a lens element group G3; an image sensor; an optical path folding element (OPFE); and an actuator for moving G1 and G3 together relative to the image sensor in a direction parallel to the lens optical axis to bring the lens to two zoom states. G1 and G3 may be fixedly attached to each other, and the lens may has an effective focal length EFL that varies from a minimal value EFL min in a first zoom state to a maximal value EFL max in a second zoom state. the N lens elements may have a maximum clear aperture height CA, and the folded camera module may have a folded camera module height H M , wherein, for example, H M ≤ CA + 3.9mm.

Abstract: Folded digital camera comprising a lens having a lens optical axis, an image sensor and first and second optical path folding elements (OPFEs), in which the second OPFE is closest to the image sensor, wherein the lens is operative to move in a first direction substantially parallel to the lens optical axis and in a second direction substantially perpendicular to first and second optical paths, wherein the second OPFE is operative to move in the first direction, and wherein the combined motion of the lens and of the second OPFE is operative to provide focus and to compensate for tilts of the camera around the first and second directions.

Abstract: Compact folded camera modules having auto-focus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS) capabilities and multi-aperture cameras including such modules. In an embodiment, a folded camera module includes an optical path folding element (OPFE) for folding light from a first optical path with a first optical axis to a second optical path with a second optical axis perpendicular to the first optical axis, an image sensor and a lens module carrying a lens with a symmetry axis parallel to the second optical axis. The lens module can be actuated to move in first and second orthogonal directions in a plane perpendicular to the first optical axis, the movement in the first direction being for auto-focus and the movement in the second direction being for OIS. The OPFE can be actuated to tilt for OIS.

Abstract: Dual-optical module autofocus (AF) or AF plus optical image stabilization (OIS) cameras with reduced footprint and reduced mutual magnetic interference. Some AF + OIS cameras may include a single AF actuation assembly that moves two lens barrels in unison. Some AF cameras or AF + OIS cameras may have two AF actuation sub-assemblies and associated magnets for independent AF operation of each lens barrel, the magnets shared in a manner that cancels magnetic influences of one AF actuation sub-assembly on the other AF actuation sub-assembly, thereby allowing the two lens barrels to be positioned in close proximity, saving parts and fabrication costs.
