Abstract
Multi-cameras and in particular dual-cameras comprising a Wide camera comprising a Wide lens and a Wide image sensor, the Wide lens having a Wide effective focal length EFLand a folded or non-folded Tele camera comprising a Tele lens with a first optical axis, a Tele image sensor and an OPFE, wherein the Tele lens includes, from an object side to an image side, a first lens element group G1, a second lens element group G2 and a third lens element group G3, wherein at least two of the lens element groups are movable relative to the image sensor along the first optical axis to bring the Tele lens to a Macro state or to two zoom states, wherein an effective focal length (EFL) of the Tele lens is changed from EFLin one zoom state to EFLin the other zoom state, wherein EFL>1.5×EFLand wherein EFL>1.5×EFL. In the Macro state, the lens with EFLallows for focusing on objects with short object-camera distances such as 5 cm. Actuators for enabling the movements are also disclosed.
