Abstract: In some embodiments there are disclosed folded camera modules comprising a lens with 6 lens elements divided into two lens groups G1 and G2 and an effective focal length EFL, an object side-optical path folding element O-OPFE, an image side-optical path folding element I-OPFE and an image sensor, wherein G1 is located at an object side of the O-OPFE and G2 is located at an image side of the O-OPFE, wherein 8 mm<EFL<50 mm, wherein a camera module is divided into a first region having a minimum camera module region height MHM and including G1 and the O-OPFE, and into a second region having a minimum shoulder region height MHS<MHM and including the I-OPFE and the image sensor, wherein an aperture height of the lens is HL and wherein HL/MHS>0.9.

Abstract: Cameras with OIS capable of performing multi zoom super macro photography and handheld electronic devices comprising such cameras. A camera may include a lens comprising N lens elements L1-LN divided into two or more lens groups arranged along a lens optical axis starting with L1 on an object side and ending with LN on an image side, adjacent lens groups separated by a respective air-gap d1 along the lens optical axis; an image sensor with a sensor diagonal SD between 7 and 20 mm separated from lens element LN by an air-gap d2 along the lens optical axis; and an actuator for controlling air-gaps d1 and d2 to switch the camera between M?1 operative pop-out states and a collapsed state and to focus the camera on an object at an object-lens distance of less than 30 cm.

Abstract: Folded digital cameras, comprising a lens with N?3 lens elements Li and having an EFL, an aperture diameter DA, a f-number f/#, a TTL, and a BFL, wherein each lens element has a respective focal length fi and wherein a first lens element L1 faces an object side and a last lens element LN faces an image side; an image sensor having a sensor diagonal (SD); and an optical path folding element (OPI-B) for providing a folded optical path between an object and the image sensor, wherein the lens is located at an object side of the OPFE, wherein the EFL is in the range of 8 mm<EFL<50 mm, and wherein a ratio between the BFL and the TTL fulfills BFL/TTL>0.75.

Abstract: Folded Tele cameras, comprising: an optical path folding element (OPFE) for a folding a first optical path OP1 to second optical path OP2, a lens including N lens elements, the lens being divided into four lens groups arranged along a lens optical axis and marked, in order from an object side of the lens to an image side of the lens, G1, G2, G3 and G4, and an image sensor, wherein the lens elements of a lens group do not move with respect to each other, wherein G1 and G3 do not move with respect to each other, wherein G2 and G4 do not move with respect to each other, wherein the Tele camera is configured to change a zoom factor (ZF) continuously between a minimum zoom factor marked ZFMIN corresponding to a minimal effective focal length marked EFLMIN and a maximum zoom factor marked ZFMAX corresponding to a maximal effective focal length marked EFLMAX by moving G1 and G3 together relative to the image sensor and by moving G2 and G4 together relative to the image sensor.
