ABSTRACT:
A camera module (100) includes a housing (110), a lens (120), an optical group (130), a drive mechanism (160) and two image sensors (180, 190). The optical group includes a first and a second mirror (132, 134) respectively having a reflective surface (133, 135) and a middle lens (136). The drive mechanism moves the first mirror between a first and a second position. The second reflective surface of the second mirror faces being oriented so as to be able to reflect light to the second image sensor. When the first mirror is in the first position, the first reflective surface is oriented so as to be able to reflect light to the first image sensor. When the first mirror is in the second position, the first reflective surface is oriented so as to allow the light to pass through the middle lens and reach the second mirror.
