Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image signal processing that support precise zoom level transitions. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving a zoom command to transition from a first zoom level to a second zoom level for a variable optical zoom (VOZ) system; determining a first arrangement of a lens module of the VOZ system based on the second zoom level and an autofocus arrangement of the lens module; determining a second arrangement of the lens module based on the first arrangement; and controlling the VOZ system to adjust the lens module to a third arrangement associated with the second zoom level based on the second arrangement and the autofocus arrangement of the lens module. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
