  • Abstract
    We propose a compound eye camera that can keep its thin structure even when it uses a lens with a large focal length to zoom up. The large focal lenses have been made the structure of the conventional cameras thick. In this paper, we show reflective optics prevents the system from being thick. A double focus lens whose views are selected by actuating mirrors has succeeded in switching two views.
