Abstract
An actuator arrangement for use in a camera is disclosed. The camera comprises two or more camera elements including an image sensor and one or more optical elements for forming, or aiding forming of, an image of an object on the image sensor. The actuator arrangement comprises: a first part defining a first axis; a first actuator for providing a first type of movement of one or more of the camera elements relative to the first part; a second actuator for providing a second, different type of movement of one or more of the camera elements relative to the first part; a controller configured to (a) cause the first actuator to move one or more of the camera elements so as to provide a first optical image stabilisation (OIS) effect, and (b) cause the second actuator to move one or more of the camera elements so as to provide a second OIS effect. The first and second OIS effects combine to provide an overall OIS effect that is greater than either of the first and second OIS effects.
