Abstract

A digital camera has a plurality of fields of view combined with a panning and/or tilting functionality. The camera comprises: a camera housing ( 6 ) with an optical input ( 5 ), such as a lens or objective. The camera also has an image capturing unit for producing a digital image from light received through the optical input, a controller, a mirror ( 1 ) having a first plane surface ( 12 ) and a second curved surface ( 13 ), and a driving device ( 7 ) coupled to the mirror and adapted to rotate the mirror to a first position, where the first plane surface is inserted into an optical path ( 31 ) of the digital camera, thereby providing a first field of view of the digital camera. The driving device is also adapted to rotate the mirror to a second position, where the second curved surface is inserted into the optical path of the digital camera, thereby providing a second field of view of the digital camera.
