Embodiments of this application provide an image obtaining method and a terminal device. When the terminal device moves, a motion sensor collects motion data of the terminal device, and sends the motion data to an optical image stabilization OIS controller and an electronic image stabilization EIS controller, where the terminal device includes the motion sensor, the OIS controller, the EIS controller, and an image sensor. The OIS controller controls, based on the motion data, a lens of the terminal device to move. The image sensor collects an image sequence. The EIS controller performs, by using movement information of the lens and the motion data, jitter compensation on the image sequence collected by the image sensor, so that stability of an obtained image can be improved.

There is provided a solid state imaging device. A rib is arranged on a frame part to be joined to a board on which an image sensor is mounted, the rib abutting on the board at an abutting position next to a periphery of the image sensor.

A method of recording sound in a binaural manner and transmitting the sound to an electronic device using a wearable device is provided. The method includes receiving audio at a left microphone externally positioned proximate to a left ear opening of a user and at a right microphone externally positioned proximate to a right ear opening of the user, both the left microphone and the right microphone worn on a head of the user. The method further includes acquiring video with a camera worn on the head of the user while receiving the audio. The method further includes collecting the audio and the video at the electronic device and synchronizing the audio with the video at the electronic device to generate an audio-video file. The method further includes storing the audio-video file on a machine readable non-transitory storage medium of the electronic device.

A camera module includes an imaging function section, a connector forming section, and a connecting section combined in a laminated body. The connecting section is thinner than the imaging function section and is bendable. The imaging function section includes a cavity and a through hole. An image sensor IC is disposed within the cavity. A lens unit is mounted in the imaging function section to be optically coupled to the image sensor IC via the through hole. A light shielding member covers a boundary between the connecting section and the imaging function section that define a height difference.
