Abstract
A photographing apparatus includes a shape memory alloy (SMA) motor, an image sensor, a lens, and a controller. The SMA motor includes an SMA wire. The SMA wire is configured to deform to drive the lens to move. The controller is configured to output a pulse signal. The pulse signal includes a drive signal and a detection signal. The drive signal is used to cause the SMA wire to deform. The detection signal is used to detect deformation of the SMA wire. N times a pulse signal cycle is equal to a time difference between the first time of sampling and the second time of sampling in correlated double sampling of the image sensor.
