Abstract
A cellular telephone includes a camera with a close-up lens for capturing close-up images and a camera lens for capturing standard image. The close-up lens is a lens with a close focal range, for example, 6-30 centimeters. The camera lens is a lens with a standard focal range, such as, for example, a meter and beyond. A switch may be used to move a close-up lens to a position that allows the close-up lens to operate in combination with the camera lens to capture a close-up image. The switch then moves the close-up lens away from the camera lens when a standard image is captured. Alternately, a switch is used to select an image from either the close-up lens or the camera lens. The switch may be implemented, for example, as an electronic switch or an optical switch.
