Abstract: An optical system for a camera may include a lens group having a one or more lenses, a prism, and an image sensor. The prism may be a single element light folding prism positioned between the lenses and the image sensor along the optical transmitting path of the light. The prism may be constructed from a single, monolithic piece of stock material and may include at least four surfaces, which may fold the light within the prism at least four times to guide the light from the one or more lenses passing through the prism to the image sensor. The prism may also include one or more aperture masks inside the prism to reduce flare.
