Claim One:
1. An imaging apparatus with an aperture and capable of capturing a plurality of images, comprising: a lens capable of moving from a first position to a new position; an image sensor positioned substantially parallel to the lens, wherein: the image sensor and the lens are separated by a distance; and the image sensor generates a first image comprising a first total number of pixel data and a second image comprising a second total number of pixel data, each image having a dimension R×C and comprising a plurality of corners; an actuator coupled to the lens and capable of repositioning the lens from the first position to the new position; wherein: the first position and the new position are in a same plane that is parallel to the image sensor; and the image sensor remains in a fixed position relative to the lens and the distance between the image sensor and the lens is maintained; and an image signal processor coupled to the image sensor and configured to selectively remove a first set of pixel data from the first total number of pixel data and replace the first set of pixel data with a second set of pixel data from the second total number of pixel data; wherein: the first set of pixel data is located in one outer corner from the plurality of outer corners of the first image; and the second set of pixel data is located in a non-corner area of the second image, the non-corner area defined as an area offset from the plurality of outer corners of the second image.
