A novel micro camera module that is manually adjustable between a close-up
mode and an infinite mode includes a lens assembly adjustably mounted
within a sleeve that is adjustably mounted into a housing. In a
particular embodiment the sleeve includes a channel (cam groove) that is
engaged by a plurality of pins fixed to the housing. Further, a biasing
member is disposed between the sleeve and the housing such that an upward
force will enable the pins to firmly engage the lower portion of the
channel. In a more particular embodiment, the channel defines two detents
that secure the sleeve into predetermined positions with respect to the
housing. In an even more particular embodiment, the channel is sloped
such that upon rotation of the sleeve, the distance between the lens
assembly and an image capture device is changed. In another particular
embodiment, the camera module includes an electrical mode detecting
switch that is indicative of the position of the camera module.
