Patent ID: 8098319

Claim:
A camera assembly for use in a portable electronic device comprising: a first lens; a second lens; a reflective element between the first and second lenses and having a first side and a second side, wherein light that passes through the first lens is reflected by the first side of the reflective element and light that passes through the second lens is reflected by the second side of the reflective element; an image sensor that is not linearly aligned with either the first lens or the second lens, wherein light that passes through either the first lens or the second lens is reflected by the reflective element and transmitted onto the image sensor; a sensor housing containing the image sensor, wherein the sensor housing has at least one slot cut out of at least one face of the sensor housing and the image sensor has at least one protrusion that cooperates with the slot, and the image sensor moves along the sensor housing with the protrusion moving along the slot to alter the distance of the image sensor from the reflective element; and a sleeve that is movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position light is transmitted from the first lens to the reflective element and light is not transmitted from the second lens to the reflective element, and wherein in the second position, light is transmitted from the second lens to the reflective element and light is not transmitted from the first lens to the reflective element.
