A multi-aperture camera system having an auto focusing function comprises: multiple apertures; an image sensor that creates multiple images by processing light signals introduced through the multiple apertures, respectively; and an auto focusing unit that determines a distance by which the image sensor moves relative to the multiple apertures by using the multiple images for auto focusing, wherein at least one of the multiple apertures has a central position that is misaligned with those of the remaining apertures other than the at least one aperture.

Multi-aperture camera system having auto focusing function and/or depth estimation function

An operation method of depth extracting camera system using multi focus image includes acquiring at least two or more images having different focused subject distances&#x2014;each of the at least two or more images including a subject&#x2014;through a single optical system which is included in the depth extracting camera system; and extracting depth for the subject by using a blur difference in the at least two or more images.
