Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for actuator control. The methods and apparatus may comprise various digital signal processing functions to detect a back EMF (electromotive force) and compute a countermeasure value to reduce ringing. The methods and apparatus for actuator control may apply a drive signal corresponding to the countermeasure value. The magnitude and direction of the drive signal provided at particular times during operation may facilitate a shorter settling time.

Abstract: A position of a lens is detected by detecting, using a phototransistor, light that is emitted from a photodiode and that varies depending on lens position. A control unit divides a moving range of the lens into a plurality of areas, approximates a relationship between lens positions and current of the phototransistor for each of the areas, corrects a current of the phototransistor using the approximated relationship so as to obtain a corrected detection current having a linear relationship with respect to lens positions, and detects the position of the lens using the obtained corrected detection current.
