Abstract
In various embodiments light redirection device positions of one or more optical chains are moved between image capture times while the position of the camera device including the multiple optical chains remains fixed. Some features relate to performing a zoom operation using multiple optical chains of the camera. Zoom settings may, and in some embodiments are, used in determining the angle to which the light redirection device should be set. In some embodiments different zoom focal length settings correspond to different scene capture areas for the optical chain with the moveable light redirection device. In some embodiments multiple optical chains are used in parallel, each with its own image sensor and light redirection device. Depth information is generated and used in some but not all embodiments to combine the images in a manner intended to minimize or avoid parallax distortions in the composite image which is produced.
