DIGITAL CAMERA Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H04N5/225 G03B17/04 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: digital camera consists of an image sensor and an objective lens which has at least two lens elements. At least one of the lens elements of the objective lens is installed in its own holder which can turn about its own axis which is immovable in space during turning, where the said axis is perpendicular to the optical axis of the turning element from the working position, in which all optical elements of the objective lens make up a single optical system and have a common optical axis, into a non-working position which is convenient for transportation.

EFFECT: design of a digital camera which is more compact during transportation owing to reduced thickness of the camera.
