Abstract

Digital camera comprising an upright Wide camera configured to provide a Wide image with a Wide image resolution and a folded Tele camera configured to provide a Tele image with a Tele image resolution higher than the Wide image resolution, the Wide and Tele cameras having respective Wide and Tele fields of view FOVand FOVand respective Wide and Tele image sensors, the digital camera further comprising a rotating OPFE operative to provide a folded optical path between an object or scene and the Tele image sensor, wherein rotation of the OPFE moves FOVrelative to FOV. In some embodiments, a rectangular FOVis orthogonal to a rectangular FOV. When included in a host device having a user interface that displays FOVwithin FOV, the user interface may be used to position FOVrelative to FOV, scan FOVacross FOVand acquire, store and display separate Wide and Tele images, composite Wide plus Tele images and stitched Tele images. The positioning of FOVwithin FOV, can be done automatically (autonomously) by continuously tracking an object of interest.
