Abstract
A camera for a portable electronic device is provided. The camera comprises a housing, a first lens assembly (101) having a first optical axis, a second lens assembly (105, 107) having a second optical axis, a mirror (103) placed at a point of intersection of the first and the second optical axis, and an image sensor (109) placed on the second optical axis. Furthermore, the camera comprises an image stabilisation apparatus, comprising a first detector configured to generate a first signal in response to a rotation of the camera about an axis that is perpendicular to both the first and the second optical axis and a first actuator configured to rotate the first lens assembly (101) and the mirror (103) in response to the first signal relative to the housing about a first rotation axis perpendicular to the first and second optical axis for compensating the rotation of the camera.
