The present disclosure provides a camera module for use in a portable electronic device. The camera module comprises a shiftable lens barrel comprising an objective assembly holding coaxially one or more lens elements defining an optical axis. The camera module has a retractable cover window. The lens barrel has an operative state and a collapsed state and the cover window has a corresponding extended and retracted position. The camera further comprises an actuator including a driving motor; a pop-out assembly actuatable by the actuator. The pop-out assembly includes a driving cam configured to be driven rotationally by the actuator, a carrier configured to receive the lens barrel and an image sensor configured to image a field of view of the objective assembly when the lens barrel is in the operative state.

Systems for pop-out camera

Optical image stabilization (OIS) mechanisms, comprising a moving frame including a first groove, a static frame including a second groove, an OIS actuator, and first, second and third bearings that define an OIS plane, wherein the first ball bearing is located in a rail formed by the first groove and the second groove, wherein the ball-bearings are positioned between the moving frame and the static frame and allow a first movement and a second movement of the moving frame relative to the static frame, wherein the first movement is a rotational movement performed around a rotation axis that coincides with the position of the first ball bearing and is perpendicular to the OIS plane, and wherein the second movement is a linear movement along the rail.
