    Abstract: Various embodiments include a camera system having a tilt actuator arrangement for tilting an image sensor. For example, the tilt actuator may be used to tilt the image sensor, relative to a lens group of the camera system, to provide tilt compensation and/or optical image stabilization (OIS). The tilt actuator arrangement may include one or more voice coil motor (VCM) actuators. According to various embodiments, the VCM actuator(s) may include fixed drive magnets and movable drive coils. The drive magnets may be coupled with a housing of the camera system. The drive coils may be coupled with a substrate, and the substrate may also be coupled with the image sensor, such that the image sensor and the substrate move together.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include a camera system having an autofocus (AF) actuator arrangement for moving an image sensor to provide AF. For example, the AF actuator may be used to move the image sensor, relative to a lens group of the camera system, in at least one direction parallel to an optical axis of the camera system. The AF actuator arrangement may include one or more voice coil motor (VCM) actuators. According to various embodiments, the VCM actuator(s) may include fixed drive magnets and movable drive coils. The drive magnets may be coupled with a housing of the camera system. The drive coils may be coupled with a substrate, and the substrate may also be coupled with the image sensor, such that the image sensor and the substrate move together.
