A camera module that can be used in small-sized electronic apparatuses such as digital cameras, camera-equipped cellular phones is provided. The camera module includes a lens unit which constitutes an optical system of the camera module; a holder which houses the lens nit and is displaceable along an optical axis direction of the lens unit; a coil provided on the holder; a yoke and magnets provided in the yoke for providing a magnetic field to the coil; at least one leaf spring for supporting the holder; and an imaging element provided below the lens unit. The at least one leaf spring includes an outer annular portion which is attached to the yoke, an inner annular portion which is provided inside the outer annular portion though a predetermined spacing and is attached to the holder, and a plurality of bridge portions which are coupled between the outer annular portion and the inner annular portion so as to resiliently support the inner annular portion with respect to the outer annular portion. Each of the bridge portions has an outer annular portion side base part and an inner annular portion side base part, and is provided so as to extent between an inner peripheral edge of the outer annular portion and an outer peripheral edge of the inner annular portion, wherein the outer annular portion of the leaf spring is welded to the top surface of the yoke by means of a laser welding method.

A lens apparatus which can remove a backlash positively is provided. In the lens apparatus, a drive source is controlled so as to performing: moving a focus lens from a reference position toward one end of an optical lens stroke, and moving the focus lens toward the other end of the optical lens stroke. When the focus lens reaches the other end of the optical lens stroke, the drive source is controlled so as to perform moving the focus toward the reference position, and further, when a focus point position is determined to be between the reference position and the other end of the optical lens stroke as well as when it is detected that the focus lens reaches the reference position, the drive source is controlled so as to perform moving the focus lens from the reference position toward one end of the optical lens stroke by an amount to removal of a backlash, and moving the focus lens up to the focus point position.

A multi-aperture imaging apparatus comprises at least one image sensor, an array of optical channels arranged alongside one another, wherein each optical channel has an optical unit for imaging at least one sub-region of an object region onto an image sensor region of the image sensor, and a beam deflection device for deflecting a beam path of the optical channels in beam deflection regions of the beam deflection device. The beam deflection device is formed as an array of facets which are arranged along a row extension direction of the array of optical channels. Each optical channel is assigned a facet. Each facet has a beam deflection region. A structure that suppresses extraneous light is arranged between a first beam deflection region of a first facet and a second beam deflection region of a second facet arranged adjacent, said structure being designed to reduce a transfer of extraneous light between the first beam deflection region and the second beam deflection region.

Some embodiments include methods and/or systems for using multiple cameras to provide optical zoom to a user. Some embodiments include a first camera unit of a multifunction device capturing a first image of a first visual field. A second camera unit of the multifunction device simultaneously captures a second image of a second visual field. In some embodiments, the first camera unit includes a first optical package with a first focal length. In some embodiments, the second camera unit includes a second optical package with a second focal length. In some embodiments, the first focal length is different from the second focal length, and the first visual field is a subset of the second visual field. In some embodiments, the first image and the second image are preserved to a storage medium as separate data structures.

A vibration motor controller controls driving velocity of a vibration motor relatively moving a vibrator and a contactor contacting the vibrator, the vibrator oscillated by an electromechanical energy transducer to which first and second frequency signals having a phase difference are applied, and includes a phase difference determiner storing a relationship between the frequency and phase difference between the first and second frequency signals, and determines the phase difference with respect to the frequency based on the relationship, and a controller controlling velocity of the vibration motor based on the frequency of the first and second frequency signals and the phase difference determined by the phase difference determiner based on the frequency. The relationship between the frequency and phase difference in the phase difference determiner does not include a relationship between frequency lower than a resonance frequency in frequency-velocity characteristics of the vibration motor, and the phase difference.
