Zoom dual-aperture camera with folded lens
First Claim
1. An auto-focus (AF) mechanism capable of being integrated in a folded Tele sub-camera configured to accommodate for a Tele lens module having a Tele lens module height, wherein the Tele lens has a Tele lens symmetry axis, wherein the AF mechanism is configured to move the Tele lens along the Tele lens symmetry axis and wherein the AF mechanism has a height not exceeding the Tele lens module height and not larger than 6.5 mm.

Abstract
Zoom digital cameras comprising a Wide sub-camera and a folded fixed Tele sub-camera. The folded Tele sub-camera may be auto-focused by moving either its lens or a reflecting element inserted in an optical path between its lens and a respective image sensor. The folded Tele sub-camera is configured to have a low profile to enable its integration within a portable electronic device.
