Abstract:
An automatic focusing camera is provided with a determining device that determines a plurality of positions of a lens group or an imaging surface of a CCD for focusing on a plurality of subjects in a subject image, an AF motor that sequentially moves the lens group or the imaging surface of the CCD to the determined positions, and a shooting device that performs shootings when the lens group or the imaging surface of the CCD is at the positions.
Abstract:
A camera system is composed of a lens unit and a camera body. The lens unit has a built-in CCD. A magnet is embedded in a protrusion of the lens unit. A case of the camera body is made of a magnetic material. In virtue of this, it is possible to attach the lens unit to any position of the camera body on condition that functions of the camera body are not disturbed by the lens unit. Incidentally, a cable is utilized to perform data transmission and electric-power transfer between the lens unit and the camera body.

Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a camera head capable of efficiently radiating heat generated by heat sources in the camera head even if it is equipped with a dust-proofing and drip-proofing structure. A heat radiating member having a higher heat conductivity than the heat conductivity of the lens barrel is disposed farther backward in the direction of the optical axis than the lens barrel. Heat generated in a CPU is transferred to the heat radiating member through a mount section, and heat generated in a CCD is transferred to the heat radiating member through the lens barrel. Since the outer circumference of the heat radiating member is always in contact with the external atmosphere, it is maintained at the temperature level of the external atmosphere, and the heat generated in the CPU and the CCD is efficiently radiated into the outer space.

Abstract:
A camera system includes a conventional single-lens reflex function. A camera head includes a finder support section which detachably supports an optical finder unit. When the optical finder unit is attached to the finder support section, the camera becomes a camera system having a single-lens reflex function. In the camera head, a half mirror is provided on the optical path of an image pickup lens. A subject reflected by the half mirror is formed on the side of a finder unit. A subject light passing through the half mirror is formed on an image pickup device. That is, the camera becomes a single-lens reflex camera in which the half mirror is used for a reflex plate.
Abstract:
It is an object of the invention to provide a camera system which also includes a conventional single-lens reflex function. A camera head 10 includes a finder support section 10B which detachably supports an optical finder unit. If the optical finder unit 12 is attached to the finder support section 10B, the camera becomes a camera system having a single-lens reflex function. In the camera head, a half mirror 103 is provided on the optical path of an image pickup lens 101. A subject reflected by the half mirror 103 is formed on the side of a finder unit 12. A subject light passing through the half mirror 103 is formed on an image pickup device 102. That is, the camera becomes a single-lens reflex camera in which the half mirror 103 is used for a reflex plate.
Abstract:
A lens unit has a photographing lens, and is secured removably to a camera main body. An accessory conversion lens device is settable on the lens unit. The lens unit includes a reception unit for receiving accessory device data from the conversion lens device. A determiner checks propriety of the conversion lens device according to accessory device data received by the reception unit, and produces checking information. A transmission unit transmits the checking information to the main body. Specifically, the lens unit has an image pickup element. Also, the conversion lens device includes an RFID tag for storing the accessory device data. The reception unit includes an RFID tag reader for wireless reception. Also, the main body includes an LCD panel to display for outputting alarm information. A main body controller drives the LCD panel if the checking information represents lack of the propriety.
Abstract:
A stepping motor comprises first to third coil portions and first to second rotors. The first rotor has a cylindrical shape and a circumferential surface thereof is magnetically-polarized so as to alternately arrange south poles and north poles. The first rotor is disposed inside the first and second coil portions, and is rotated by magnetic fields generated at a time when the first and second coil portions are energized. The second rotor has a disk shape and a surface thereof is magnetically polarized so as to alternately arrange south poles and north poles. The second rotor is disposed such that edge areas of both surfaces thereof are interposed between the second and third coil portions. The second rotor is rotated by magnetic fields generated at a time when the second and third coil portions are energized.
Abstract:
A digital still camera includes a camera main unit and a lens barrel fitted thereon in a removable manner. First electric contacts in a group are disposed on the camera main unit. Second electric contacts in a group are disposed on the lens barrel, for electric contact with the first electric contacts upon mounting of the lens barrel on the camera main unit, and for communication between those. The camera main unit includes a connector, having the first electric contacts, and coupled with a camera front face in an openable manner. The lens barrel includes a cavity, having the second electric contacts, for receiving insertion of the connector opened in a forward direction. The first electric contacts are disposed on a rear surface positioned internally when the connector is closed. Furthermore, a retaining mechanism retains the connector being inserted in the cavity.
