Abstract

A zoom method and an apparatus to improve zoom accuracy of a camera module are disclosed. The zoom method includes: controlling, based on a target focal length, the lens to move in different subregions when the lens moves in an operation region, and determining position information of the lens based on a position detection relationship of a subregion in which the lens is currently located. The lens is controlled to move based on a position of the lens detected when the lens moves, so that the lens can more accurately stop at a position corresponding to the target focal length. This helps improve focusing accuracy of the camera module.
