Abstract
A camera may include a printed circuit board (PCB) that may include at least one coil and at least one position sensor. The coil may be embedded at least partially inside the PCB at a first side of the PCB, whilst the position sensor may be attached to the PCB at a second side opposite the first side. The PCB may include an aperture through the PCB at a location corresponding to the position sensor to enhance sensing of the position sensor. The PCB may further include at least one recess inside which the position sensor may be attached to the PCB.
