Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first lens (L3) and the second lens (L2) comprise an imaging lens, wherein the DMD is configured to translate in sub-micromirror distances along the x and y directions and wherein the camera module further comprises a first tiltable mirror (M1) and a second tiltable mirror (M2), a third imaging lens (L1) between the first mirror (M1) and the second mirror (M2), and a Photo-Detector Array (PDA) sensor, the method further comprising configuring the camera such that when the second mirror (M2) is flat, incident light strikes the first mirror (M1) to be imaged onto the image plane of the DMD by means of the third lens (L1), and when the second mirror (M2) is tilted, incident light strikes the first mirror (M1) to be imaged onto the PDA sensor by means of the third lens (L1), wherein the PDA sensor is configured to provide an initial image map of the incident light for smart control of the camera.
