1. A method of capturing images, comprising: capturing a first image of a scene area of interest using a first optical chain of a camera, said first optical chain having a first focal length; capturing a second image of a second scene area, said second scene area being a first portion of said scene area of interest, using a second optical chain of said camera, said second optical chain having a second focal length which is greater than said first focal length, said first portion being smaller than said scene area of interest; capturing a third image of a third scene area, said third scene area being a second portion of said scene area of interest, using a third optical chain of said camera, said third optical chain having a third focal length which is greater than said first focal length, said second portion being smaller than said scene area of interest and being a different from said first portion, at least a portion of said third scene area being non-overlapping with the second scene area, said first and second scene areas being included in said scene area of interest; capturing a fourth image of a fourth scene area using a fourth optical chain of said camera, said fourth scene area being a third portion of said scene area of interest, said fourth optical chain having said second focal length which is greater than said first focal length, said third portion of the scene area of interest being smaller than said scene area of interest and being different from said first and second portions of said scene area of interest; capturing a fifth image of a fifth scene area using a fifth optical chain of said camera, said fifth scene area being a fourth portion of said scene area of interest, said fifth optical chain having said second focal length which is greater than said first focal length, said fourth portion being smaller than said scene area of interest and being different from said first, second, and third portions of said scene area of interest; and storing or outputting said first, second, third, fourth and fifth images.
