Abstract:
1. A tele wide module comprising: a first optics group; a second optics group slidably mounted along guide pins for moving the second optics group to each position in a set of predetermined positions, wherein the predetermined positions comprise a macro position, a wide position, and a tele position, and the macro position is between the tele and wide positions; a first lever, wherein the orientation of the first lever selects the position; a selector for selecting a first position for the second optics group from the set of predetermined positions using direct rotational mechanical movement, and wherein the selector comprises a manual selector that selects the first position for the second optics group from any one of the set of predetermined positions to configure the module without the need for a motor; an omega spring, wherein the omega spring provides both a clockwise and a counter clockwise rotational force to the first lever, wherein the direction of the rotational force provided by the omega spring is dependent on the orientation of the first lever; and an image sensor, wherein the first optics group is stationary relative to the image sensor and is configured to provide a focus to the image sensor, wherein the focus is based on the selected first position.
