ABSTRACT:
A compact zoomable camera device includes an optical module, an image sensor module and a microelectronic mechanism system (MEMS) micro-actuator. The optical module includes a first lens group, a second lens group and a light directing unit. The first lens group defines a first optical axis, and the second lens group defines a second optical axis and a second focal plane associated therewith. The second lens group is arranged in a manner such that the second optical axis intersects the first optical axis. The light directing unit is configured for directing light beams from the first lens group to the second lens group. The image sensor module includes an image sensor positioned at the second focal plane of the second lens group. The microelectronic mechanism system (MEMS) micro-actuator is configured for moving the image sensor along the second optical axis, so as to dynamically position the image sensor at the second focal plane of the second lens group.
