Abstract
A tele wide module includes a first optics group, a fixed position for the first optics group, a second optics group, a set of predetermined positions for the second optics group, a selector for selecting a first position from the set of predetermined positions, and an image sensor. The first optics group is configured to provide a focus to the image sensor. The focus is based on the selected first position. A method of adjusting a lens configuration selects a first position from a set of positions. Based on the selected position, the method deposes a second lens group in relation to a first lens group. Typically, the position of the first lens group is fixed. Through the first and second lens groups, the method provides an image to an image sensor. The method of some embodiments provides a focused image to the image sensor by using a hyper focal setting.
