Camera Illumination

An electronic device, comprising:

• a camera lens configured to capture visual data of a field of view;
• a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the field of view;
• and
• a light source driver coupled to the plurality of light sources and configured to drive the plurality of light sources with a first drive voltage at a first mode and with a second drive voltage at a second mode, the second drive voltage being lower than the first drive voltage;
• wherein:
• the plurality of light sources is configurable to a plurality of light source subsets;
• at least two of the plurality of light source subsets include distinct light source members and are configured to illuminate different regions of the field of view of the camera lens;
• in the first mode, the plurality of light sources is electrically coupled to each other and driven by the first drive voltage;
• and
• in the second mode, one of the plurality of light source subsets is selected and driven by the second drive voltage.

A method of providing a camera, comprising:

• providing a camera lens configured to capture visual data of a field of view;
• providing a plurality of light sources configured to illuminate the field of view;
• and
• coupling a light source driver to the plurality of light sources, the light source driver being configured to drive the plurality of light sources with a first drive voltage at a first mode and with a second drive voltage at a second mode, the second drive voltage being lower than the first drive voltage;
• wherein:
• the plurality of light sources is configurable to a plurality of light source subsets;
• at least two of the plurality of light source subsets include distinct light source members and are configured to illuminate different regions of the field of view of the camera;
• in the first mode, the plurality of light sources is electrically coupled to each other and driven by the first drive voltage;
• and
• in the second mode, one of the plurality of light source subsets is selected and driven by the second drive voltage.
