1. An apparatus, comprising: a photosensor configured to capture light projected onto a surface of the photosensor using a scan technology that reads lines or areas of pixels on the photosensor according to a scan pattern; a lens system configured to refract light from a subject field located in front of the camera to form an image of a scene at an image plane at or near the surface of the photosensor; an actuator component configured to adjust the lens system to change optical characteristics of the image formed at the image plane; and a controller component configured to dynamically direct adjustment of the lens system by the actuator component as lines or areas of the photosensor are scanned according to the scan pattern so that different parts of the image are captured according to different optical characteristics; wherein adjustment of the lens system includes one or more of tilting the lens system with respect to an optical axis of the apparatus or shifting the lens system on one or more axes orthogonal to the optical axis.
