摘要： A lens driving actuator includes an upper cover having an opening for passing light, a lens barrel arranged in the upper cover and including a light-transmitting lens, a driving pin formed on an outer circumferential surface of the lens barrel, a driving cam member formed to cover the outer circumference of the lens barrel, and having a cam groove that engages with the driving pin, and a driving source configured to supply a driving force to a gear formed in the driving cam member. When the driving cam member rotates along the outer circumferential surface of the lens barrel, the driving pin is guided by the cam groove, and the lens barrel moves in an optical-axis direction with respect to the upper cover.

摘要： Various embodiments include an aperture stop for a camera with folded optics. In some examples, a folded optics arrangement of the camera may include one or more lens elements and one or more light path folding elements (e.g., a prism or a mirror). The aperture stop may be an elongated aperture stop. According to various examples, one or more prisms of the folded optics arrangement may have an elongated dimension in the same direction as an elongated dimension of the elongated aperture stop. In some embodiments, the aperture stop may be located between a prism and a lens group of the folded optics arrangement. In some embodiments, the aperture stop may be located proximate an optical element that optically powers a prism of the folded optics arrangement.

摘要： Provided is a mobile information terminal that allows a high-performance camera to be directed in any arbitrary direction relative to the terminal body and that allows photographing to be performed in a free position, while allowing for the viewing of a camera viewpoint image. An information processing terminal 1 comprises: a camera 21 serving as an image capture unit for capturing an image of a subject; a body part 11 having a front surface 11a which is a predetermined surface on which a display unit 13 for displaying a captured image including the subject captured by the image capture unit is disposed; and a coupling part 12 that directly or indirectly couples the image capture unit relatively rotatably to the body part 11 via a plurality of rotation axes including a pivot axis Z1 that is a first rotation axis for changing an angle formed by an optical axis direction of the image capture unit and the normal direction to the display unit 13, and a pivot axis Z3 that is a second rotation axis in a direction different.

摘要： A camera can perform two different photographing operations with a lens at different positions without vignetting while preventing entry of light and dust. A camera includes a frame including a film compartment to contain a photographic film and a barrel extending from the film compartment in an optical axis direction, and a lens barrel movable in the barrel in X-direction. The lens barrel includes cylinders movable frontward relative to the barrel, and a cylinder movable frontward relative to the cylinder. The camera includes a rear bellows connecting the frame and the cylinder, and a front bellows connecting the cylinder and the cylinder. In a first photographing state in which the cylinders extend frontward relative to the barrel and the cylinder is accommodated inside the cylinder, the rear bellows is expanded and the front bellows is partially contracted. In a second photographing state, the cylinder extends frontward relative to the cylinder.
