Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for using one or more components of a device, such as a camera, to generate complementary heat for the device, such as a camera lens of the device. In one aspect this can be accomplished by activating the one or more components and/or by causing the one or more components to operate in a particular manner expected to generate heat. The generated heat may be instead of or in addition to heat generated by one or more dedicated heaters. The selected components may produce heat as an incidental effect for performing other functions of the device.
