Assignee: COREPHOTONICS LTD.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A device, comprising:
a Tele folded camera comprising an optical path folding element (OPFE) for folding light from a first optical path that forms an angle of less than 90 degrees to a normal of the device toward a second optical path orthogonal to the normal of the device, a lens with a lens optical axis along the second optical path, and an image sensor, wherein the device is a handheld electronic device;
an OPFE actuator for tilting the OPFE in one or more directions to direct a point of view (POV) of the Tele folded camera towards a segment of a scene such that coordinate systems of the Tele folded camera and the device are not aligned;
a motion sensor for sensing an undesired rotational motion of the device;
a processing unit configured to perform a coordinate transformation to align the coordinate system of the Tele folded camera with the coordinate system of the device or vice versa and to calculate compensation motion to compensate for the undesired rotational motion of the device in the aligned coordinate system of the Tele folded camera, wherein the compensation motion depends on the undesired rotational motion of the device and on the Tele folded camera POV; and
at least one actuator for moving at least one component of the Tele folded camera according to the compensation motion to compensate for the undesired rotational motion of the device.
