Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
determining electrical currents for respective coils of a plurality of actuators of a device for controlling a lens of the device to a position relative to an image sensor of the device, wherein the actuators respectively comprise a coil and a magnet and are positioned around a periphery within a camera, wherein the respective coils of the actuators are able to be driven independently with separate electrical currents different from each other and through different respective terminals to control tilt positioning of the lens relative to the image sensor, and wherein the coils of the plurality of actuators are attached to a moving component for tilting the lens relative to the image sensor; and
providing the determined electrical currents to drive the coils to control the lens to the position relative to the image sensor.
