A digital camera is constructed with multiple lenses mounted in a pair of
tubular elements which are nested together for relative axial movement.
Movement is provided by piezoelectric actuators mounted externally to a
support tube on flexible printed circuit board elements. Each lens tube
is provided with a drive rail which extends at least partially over the
length of the lens tube and projects radially outward from the periphery
of each of the tubes. The rails are accessible to the engagement pads of
the piezoelectric actuators to allow the transmission of drive forces to
each of the tubes.
