Various embodiments disclosed herein include techniques for maintaining multiple cameras in focus on same objects and/or at same distances. In some examples, a subordinate camera may be configured to focus based on the focus of a primary camera. For instance, a focus relationship between the primary camera and the subordinate camera may be determined. The focus relationship may characterize the trajectory of the lens position of the subordinate camera with respect to the lens position of the primary camera. In various examples, the focus relationship may be updated.

A multi-input folded camera includes a plurality of folding devices, a common lens array, and a sensor. The folding devices change paths lights that are incident to the folding devices and output a plurality of folded lights propagating along a plurality of paths. The common lens array combines the folded lights received through an input surface of the common lens array to output a combined light through an output surface of the common lens array. The sensor is at an optical axis of the common lens array to receive the combined light. Performance of a mobile device including the multi-input folded camera is enhanced by sufficient light amounts using the multiple folding devices and combining the lights through the multiple light paths. In implementing an under display camera (UDC), an entire-region display is supported without an aperture in a display panel.
