Various embodiments include a folded optics camera actuator and suspension arrangement. For example, the folded optics camera may include one or more voice coil motor (VCM) actuators for moving a lens group, relative to an image sensor, in multiple directions. The folded optics camera may include a suspension arrangement that suspends a lens barrel arrangement from a base structure of the camera, and that allows motion of the lens group enabled by the VCM actuator(s). In some embodiments, the folded optics camera may include an actuator for moving a light folding element relative to the image sensor.

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.sub.W and FOV.sub.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.sub.T relative to FOV.sub.W. In some embodiments, a rectangular FOV.sub.T is orthogonal to a rectangular FOV.sub.W. When included in a host device having a user interface that displays FOV.sub.T within FOV.sub.W, the user interface may be used to position FOV.sub.T relative to FOV.sub.W, scan FOV.sub.T across FOV.sub.W and acquire, store and display separate Wide and Tele images, composite Wide plus Tele images and stitched Tele images. The positioning of FOV.sub.T within FOV.sub.W, can be done automatically (autonomously) by continuously tracking an object of interest.

Provided is a prism driving device. The prism driving device includes a housing assembly, a prism holder disposed on the housing assembly in an angle adjustable manner, and an electromagnetic driving assembly. The electromagnetic driving assembly includes a magnet portion and a coil portion disposed opposite the magnet portion, where one of the magnet portion or the coil portion is disposed on the prism holder, the other one is disposed on the housing assembly, and the electromagnetic driving assembly is configured to adjust a tilt angle of the prism holder. One of the housing assembly or the prism holder is provided with a support protrusion and the other is provided with a groove, and at least a portion of the support protrusion is magnetically sucked into the groove.

An imaging system positioned relative to a three-dimensional area for capturing an image includes an image sensor having an X-Y plane and an aspect ratio defined by the quantity of pixels in the X-Y plane; and a non-linear light focusing element constructed with a profile to form an altered view of a three-dimensional desired zone of the area with a desired pixel distribution. The non-linear light focusing element redirects the pixels of the image sensor from an undesired zone of the area to within a frame that encompasses the three-dimensional desired zone of the area to form the altered view of the desired zone. The image sensor captures the altered view of the desired zone to match the aspect ratio of the image sensor.
