Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to camera assemblies that include a lens module, a camera housing enclosing the lens module, and an actuator module coupled to the lens module. The lens module includes at least one lens element disposed along an optical axis and a lens barrel at least partially surrounding the at least one lens element. The lens barrel includes a flange that defines, at an intersection with the at least one lens element, an input aperture through which light enters the lens module. The flange has a height that varies in a direction from the input aperture to an outer edge of the flange. The actuator module is configured to rotate the lens module around axes orthogonal to the optical axis with respect to the camera housing.
