Lens control apparatus configured in an imaging device

An imaging device comprising a lens control apparatus, wherein said lens control apparatus comprises:

• a casing;
• a lens carrier movable in said casing and configured to hold an imaging lens;
• a pair of focusing coils disposed within said casing and configured to enable linear motion of the lens carrier along an optical axis;
• and
• a set of actuating coils disposed within said casing and configured to pivot the lens carrier in a first direction relative to the optical axis and a second direction relative to the optical axis, said first direction and said second direction being orthogonal to each other, wherein a pivot point is configured on the optical axis to pivot the lens carrier in the first direction and the second direction about the pivot point, and
• wherein the lens control apparatus is capable of providing at least three degrees of freedom to the lens carrier;
• wherein the lens control apparatus further comprises a pair of springs, each spring of the pair of springs positioned on either side of the lens carrier and adapted to firmly hold the lens carrier within the casing.
