    While Smartphones are increasingly used as cameras, ensuring high quality pictures and video while maintaining overall size and cost constraints, is a true challenge. Experts have highlighted* the fact that a major cause for image quality degradation is the phone handshake blur, which can only be resolved by an Optical Image Stabilization system (OIS). Varioptic has integrated both Auto-Focus and Optical Image Stabilization capabilities in a single lens that can easily and cost effectively be added to Smartphone cameras.

    Key features:

    • Hysteresis free and fast response time – enabling accurate focus control and OIS
    • High dynamic focus range – enabling accurate macro mode down to 3 cm
    • High optical tilt range – enabling efficient handshake correction for pictures and videos
    • High shock resistance and low power consumption - essential for smartphones
    • No moving parts – enabling silent and smooth OIS and AF for still pictures or videos

    Integrating the liquid lens in your design could not be much simpler.
