Claim 5:
6. A mobile device comprising:
a housing;
a first sensor carried by the housing, the first sensor to output a signal corresponding to a force;
a camera carried by the housing, the camera including a lens and a second sensor, the camera moveable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the housing, at least a portion of the camera external to the housing when the camera is in the extended position and at least a portion of the camera internal to the housing when the camera is in the retracted position;
an actuator to move the camera; and
circuitry to:
determine a difference between an optical parameter and a reference optical parameter, the optical parameter based on an output of the second sensor;
detect that the lens is facing a surface in an environment in which the mobile device is located based on the difference; and
cause the actuator to move the camera to the retracted position in response to the detection.
