1. A scanning Tele camera (STC), comprising:
an object side optical path folding element O-OPFE for folding a first optical path OP1 to a second optical path OP2;
an O-OPFE actuator;
an image side optical path folding element I-OPFE for folding OP2 to a third optical path OP3;
an I-OPFE actuator;
a lens;
a lens actuator; and
an image sensor;
wherein the STC has a STC native field-of-view n-FOVT, wherein the O-OPFE actuator is configured to rotate the O-OPFE around a first axis and the I-OPFE actuator is configured to rotate the I-OPFE around a second axis for scanning a scene with the n-FOVT, wherein the lens actuator is configured to move the lens for focusing along a third axis, and wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis and parallel to the third axis, and wherein the camera module is divided into a first region having a module region height HM and a second region having a shoulder region height HS<HM, the lens having a maximum aperture height HA, all heights being measured along OP1, wherein HS<HA+3 mm.
