In the actuating device, an actuator is configured to include an actuating magnetic component, a power supply apparatus, and at least one coil. The power supply apparatus is electrically connected to the coil, and the coil is disposed in a magnetic field of the actuating magnetic component. When a current is supplied to the coil, the coil or the actuating magnetic component moves under an action of the magnetic field. In this case, the coil or the actuating magnetic component can drive a motor carrier to move, to drive a lens of the camera module to move, so that zooming of the camera module is completed.

An optical element driving unit includes a stationary body, a carrier, a supporting mechanism and an electromagnetic driving assembly. The supporting mechanism is connected to the carrier and the stationary body and provides the carrier with a degree of freedom of movement relative to the stationary body. The carrier can be driven to move by the electromagnetic driving assembly. The electromagnetic driving assembly includes a driving coil, a driving magnet and a ferromagnetic element. The driving coil is disposed on the carrier. The driving magnet is disposed on the stationary body. The ferromagnetic element is one-piece formed and embedded in the carrier, and the ferromagnetic element includes a magnetic field guiding part and an electrical connection part. The magnetic field guiding part faces the driving coil and/or the driving magnet. The electrical connection part is exposed on a surface of the carrier and electrically connected to the driving coil.

A zoom control method is provided, including: determining a midpoint of a connecting line of touch points located on both sides of an object to be close-up; determining a pixel vector formed from the midpoint of the connecting line to a center point of a screen; converting the pixel vector into an angle vector based on a conversion relationship between a diagonal angle of view of a current focal length range and a diagonal pixel of an image sensor of a camera system; and controlling the object to be close-up being moved to the center point of the screen based on the angle vector.

Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for the see-through computer display systems with adjustable-zoom cameras positioned such that their respective capture fields-of-view at least partially overlap at a target distance.

Methods and apparatus for supporting zoom operations using a plurality of optical chain modules, e.g., camera modules, are described. Switching between use of groups of optical chains with different focal lengths is used to support zoom operations. Digital zoom is used in some cases to support zoom levels corresponding to levels between the zoom levels of different optical chain groups or discrete focal lengths to which optical chains may be switched. In some embodiments optical chains have adjustable focal lengths and are switched between different focal lengths. In other embodiments optical chains have fixed focal lengths with different optical chain groups corresponding to different fixed focal lengths. Composite images are generated from images captured by multiple optical chains of the same group and/or different groups. Composite image is in accordance with a user zoom control setting. Individual composite images may be generated and/or a video sequence.

Zoom digital cameras comprising a Wide sub-camera and a folded fixed Tele sub-camera. The folded Tele sub-camera may be auto-focused by moving either its lens or a reflecting element inserted in an optical path between its lens and a respective image sensor. The folded Tele sub-camera is configured to have a low profile to enable its integration within a portable electronic device.
