Product Video: SMA Module Tilt OIS
As consumers demand cinematic video quality from their smartphones, optical image stabilisation (OIS) has become essential to prevent picture blur in various shooting scenarios like walking, running, and cycling. While Lens Shift and Sensor Shift OIS compensate for motion within the sensor plane, SMA Module Tilt OIS takes image stabilisation to the next level, acting as a gimbal to correct rotational blur, offering superior image quality across the entire sensor.
Product Video: SMA Lens Shift AF+OIS
Providing both Autofocus (AF) + Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), the SMA Lens Shift AF+OIS actuator from Cambridge Mechatronics Ltd (CML) is designed to bring premium camera performance to mid to mid- and high-range handsets. SMA Lens Shift AF+OIS has been designed as an integrated closed-loop camera that is more efficient in terms of its size, component count, material use and production cost, compared to traditional Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technology.

The SMA Sensor Shift OIS actuator moves the image sensor in the X and Y directions as well as compensating for roll, effectively countering handshake motion in your handset. By also stabilising rotational motion, SMA Sensor Shift OIS enables exceptional 5-axis motion compensation for a whole new level of image and video clarity!
