Camera module having a switchable focal length

The invention relates to a camera module for imaging an object onto an image sensor 108. The camera module has at least two carrier plates (104, 112), wherein a plurality of basic lenses (106) are arranged on one carrier plate (104) and a plurality of lens attachments (114) are arranged on the second carrier plate (112). The carrier plate (104, 112) are arranged one above another in two planes and are horizontally displaceable in order to be able to position different basic lenses and vehicle attachments in the beam path and thus combine them with one another. One advantageous embodiment of the proposed solution comprising, for example, six basic lenses and four telenegative lens attachments makes it possible, for example, to realise 30 discretely switchable different focal lengths. This makes it possible to achieve a quasi-zoom having small dimensions. The proposed system can exhibit outstanding imaging performances.
