Abstract
Zoom digital cameras comprising a Wide sub-camera and a folded fixed Tele sub-camera. The folded Tele sub-camera may be auto-focused by moving either its lens or a reflecting element inserted in an optical path between its lens and a respective image sensor. The folded Tele sub-camera is configured to have a low profile to enable its integration within a portable electronic device.

A mobile device, comprising:
- a first camera having a first field-of-view (FOV1) and a first image sensor;
- and
- a second camera having a second field-of-view (FOV2), a lens module including a plurality of N lens elements Li along a lens optical axis, 1≤i≤N, a first reflecting element, and a second image sensor,
- wherein FOV2<FOV1,
- wherein the lens module has an effective focal length EFL between 9 mm and 25 mm,
- wherein each lens element Li has a respective maximal optically used diameter di, wherein a first lens element L1 is closest to an object and has an optically used diameter d1≥di,
- wherein the first image sensor is configured to receive first light from a first direction through a first optical path between an object and the first image sensor, and
- wherein the second image sensor is configured to receive second light from the first direction through a second optical path between the object and the second image sensor,
- wherein the first reflecting element is disposed in the second optical path between the lens module and the second image sensor, and
- wherein the first camera is an auto-focus camera.
