Abstract
A method and a camera including a stabilizer are provided. The camera includes a lens, at least one autofocus (AF) actuator for moving the lens in a first direction, and at least one optical image stabilization (OIS) stabilizer for moving the lens in at least one direction. The OIS stabilizer may be connected with the AF actuator and arranged not to be stacked over the AF actuator in the first direction.
Claims48

An electronic device comprising:
- a camera including:
- a lens,
- at least one autofocus (AF) actuator for moving the lens in a first direction, and
- at least one optical image stabilization (OIS) stabilizer for moving the lens in a second direction,
- wherein the OIS stabilizer is connected with the AF actuator, and
- wherein the OIS stabilizer is not stacked over the AF actuator in the first direction.
An electronic device comprising:
- a camera comprising:
- a lens,
- an autofocus (AF) actuator for actuating the lens along an optical axis, and
- a first optical image stabilization (OIS) stabilizer and a second optical image stabilization (OIS) stabilizer for respectively actuating the lens on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction to compensate for vibration of the lens,
- wherein the first OIS stabilizer, the second OIS stabilizer, and the AF actuator are arranged in a direction of a side surface of the lens,
- wherein the AF actuator and at least one of the first OIS stabilizer or the second OIS stabilizer are arranged in parallel, and
- wherein the first OIS stabilizer, the second OIS stabilizer, and the AF actuator are arranged in parallel in the direction of the side surface of the lens while the AF actuator is disposed between the first OIS actuator and the second OIS stabilizer.

- a second OIS stabilizer provided on a side surface of the lens, coupled with the first OIS stabilizer, the second OIS stabilizer actuates the lens in a second direction to compensate for the vibration of the lens;
- and
- an autofocus (AF) actuator provided on a side surface of the first OIS stabilizer and the second OIS stabilizer to actuate the lens along an optical axis,
- wherein the AF actuator and at least one of the first OIS stabilizer or the second OIS stabilizer are arranged in parallel.
An electronic device comprising:
- a lens;
- an autofocus (AF) actuator connected with the lens in a first direction;
- an optical image stabilization (OIS) stabilizer connected with the AF actuator in a second direction;
- and
- a processor configured to control for:
- moving the lens in the first direction using the AF actuator, at least based on a location of an external object,
- moving the lens in the second direction using the OIS stabilizer at least based on a movement of the electronic device, and
- obtaining at least one image for the external object using the lens, wherein the AF actuator and the OIS stabilizer are arranged in parallel.
A method performed by an electronic device including a lens, an autofocus (AF) actuator connected with the lens in a first direction, and an optical image stabilization (OIS) stabilizer connected with the AF actuator in a second direction, wherein the AF actuator and the OIS stabilizer are arranged in parallel the method comprising:
