Original Abstract Submitted

a camera module for an electronic device includes a module housing that encloses an actuator structure for positioning an element of the camera module, such as an image sensor or a lens element. a flexible seal subdivides an internal volume of the camera module housing into two separate sub-volumes. a first fluid is retained within a first sub-volume between the image sensor and the lens element, and a second fluid is retained within a second sub-volume of the module housing. in one construction the first fluid is air, and the second fluid is a dielectric liquid.
