Abstract: A digital camera with a housing has a digital image device (ICD) that preferably has a special shape and a flat light sensing surface. A lens directs light to the light sensing surface and electronics are connected to the ICD for capturing image data. A memory stores the image data. An inclinometer in the housing detects an inclination angle of the housing and is used to correct for various distortions or otherwise modify the image data. The aspect ratio of the digital image can also be selected. The ICD is mounted on a yoke for pivoting about at least one axis passing through the ICD plane to correct focus by following the Scheimpflug Rule and/or by collecting focus and distance information for multiple points to create a focus point landscape used, for example, to tilt the ICD to the best focus solution for the image.
