Electronic device including camera module

This electronic device features a camera with a movable lens that automatically focuses. It works by taking two images with a slight lens movement in between, then calculating the optimal focus position based on the image differences and the movement. The system specifically uses stored mathematical models called 'point spread functions' to refine this focus determination and correct for variations.

Why it matters: Since 2018, mobile processor power and AI/ML for image processing have significantly advanced, making this computational autofocus more efficient and potentially more accurate.
