    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: Digital camera comprising an upright Wide camera configured to provide a Wide image with a Wide image resolution and a folded Tele camera configured to provide a Tele image with a Tele image resolution higher than the Wide image resolution, the Wide and Tele cameras having respective Wide and Tele fields of view FOV W and FOV T and respective Wide and Tele image sensors, the digital camera further comprising a rotating OPFE operative to provide a folded optical path between an object or scene and the Tele image sensor, wherein rotation of the OPFE moves FOV T relative to FOV W . In some embodiments, a rectangular FOV T is orthogonal to a rectangular FOVw. When included in a host device having a user interface that displays FOV T within FOV W , the user interface may be used to position FOV T relative to FOV W , scan FOV T across FOV W and acquire, store and display separate Wide and Tele images, composite Wide plus Tele images and stitched Tele images. The positioning of FOV T within FOV W , can be done automatically (autonomously) by continuously tracking an object of interest.
