Abstract: A film scroll detection mechanism for a camera does not require a large encoder for use in controlling the scrolling of the film, while still producing a large number of pulse signals, thereby allowing a camera to be made smaller. A connection mechanism links a film scroll detection roller and a pulse signal generator. The connection mechanism causes an encoder of the pulse signal generator to rotate through a larger angle in comparison to the rotation of the aforementioned film scroll detection roller. This allows the encoder to be made with a smaller radius than previous devices. Additionally, the connection mechanism permits the axis of rotation of the encoder to be offset from the axis of rotation of the film scroll detection roller, which allows for a further reduction in the size of the camera.

Abstract: A vibration compensation mode selection apparatus and associated visual display for a camera which allows a photographer to enable or disable a vibration compensation unit while receiving visual feedback regarding the operation state of the vibration compensation unit and information regarding the vibrations detected within the camera. A vibration detection unit is provided to output a signal indicating the amount and direction of vibrations experienced by the camera. A vibration compensation unit drives the vibration compensation lens perpendicular to the optical axis of a photographic lens system to correct for the vibrations detected by the vibration detection unit. A button is provided on the front face of the camera to enable the photographer to disable the vibration compensation unit by pressing the button. A display unit is provided to indicate to the photographer whether the vibration compensation system has been enabled or disabled. For example, the display unit can be configured to flash at a high frequency when the vibration compensation unit has been disabled. Further, the display unit can be configured to provide information regarding the severity of the vibrations detected within the camera. Specifically, the display unit can be configured to steadily illuminate to indicate vibrations which can be corrected by the vibration compensation system, and at a slow rate to indicate vibrations which are outside the correctable range of the vibration compensation unit. The display unit can either be provided within the viewfinder or on the body of the camera in a location easily visible by the photographer.

Abstract: A camera with a data imprinting device has a plurality of in-line LEDs producing light focused by an optical system upon a photographic film at a first and a second position, corresponding to a full size format and a panorama size format, respectively. The focused light imprints data images upon the film at the first position are larger than data images imprinted at the second position. The optical system has first and second prisms, with integrated lenses, for reflecting and focusing the light upon the film at the first and second positions, respectively. A shutter plate is selectively positioned over apertures through which the light is focused, thus blocking the light and allowing only a selected imprint to be made upon the film. A vertical pattern of the data image is created by a controller selectively illuminating the in-line LEDs while a horizontal pattern is produced by the controller illuminating the LEDs in coordination with the movement of the film past the apertures. The controller actuates a motor for advancing the film and has a sensor for detecting film travel. A first embodiment has the first prism positioned further from the film than the second prism, which is positioned further from the LEDs than the first prism, such that reflected light from the first prism has a path intersecting that of incident light of the second prism. A second embodiment has the prisms offset from each other in the plane of the film such that light paths do not intersect. The first embodiment has a narrower width than the second embodiment while the second embodiment has a shallower depth than the first embodiment.

Abstract: A data imprinting device for a camera has a light source, a diaphragm member, and an optical member mounted on support structures integrally formed in a body of the camera. Another embodiment of the invention includes first and second optical members for imprinting data at two respective locations, upon a film, corresponding to full size and panorama size modes of operation. A shutter slides to obstruct emergent light from one of the first and second optical member thus disabling it from imprinting. The first and second optical members are integrally formed in a bracket structure which is mounted in a body of the camera. Embodiments includes the first and second optical members having emergent planes equidistant from the film. The first and second optical elements have incident planes either offset in a direction parallel with the film or perpendicular to it. Similar exposure characteristic at the two respective locations are maintained by controlling numerical apertures and transmittances of the first and second optical members.

Abstract: A camera with a data imprinting device includes a generally triangular space adjacent a film spool. A roller, used to conform the film to the film spool is urged into the triangular space when the film diameter on the roller approaches a maximum diameter. A portion of an optical system for the data imprinting device is also located in the triangular space. The periods of film drive pulses are averaged to establish periods of data imprinting pulses. A plurality of the data imprinting pulses are generated for each film drive pulse. In a full size mode of operation, a first set of the data imprinting pulses are used to record imprinting data. In a panorama mode of operation, a second set of the data imprinting pulses are used to record the imprinting data. The second set of data imprinting pulses contains more data imprinting pulses than the first set of data imprinting pulses, whereby the data imprinted in panorama mode occupies a shorter length of the film than does the data imprinted in full size mode.

Drive gears drive the disk cam and one of the drive gears is a helical gear which has a predetermined angle for a lead angle, the rotation center of the disk cam and the rotation axis direction of the one drive gear being positioned so as to intersect. The strobe light generating unit is moved in the direction of the optical axis of the camera so that a radiating angle of a strobe fitted in the strobe light generating unit is changed according to the variable power of operation of the lens. Jaw portions are integrally formed on the strobe light generating unit and engage rail grooves formed on the body of the camera.

Abstract: A camera equipped with a date imprinting circuit capable of setting multiple imprinting modes and a photographic mode setting circuit capable of setting multiple photographic modes. The camera includes an operational circuit to set and modify the previously mentioned imprinting modes and photographic modes. A detection circuit detects whether or not the camera is in a first state or a second state. A selection circuit modifies the imprinting mode by operating the operational circuit when the detection circuit detects that the camera is in the first state and modifies the photographic mode by operating the operation circuit when the detection circuit detects that the camera is in the second state.
