Abstract
A lens assembly for an imaging device includes a lens for focusing external radiation towards an image sensor of the imaging device. A mounting member is between the lens and the image sensor so that the lens is spaced a set distance from the image sensor. An adjustment member varies position of the mounting member relative to the image sensor so that the set distance is varied.
