Avoiding blurring of picture caused by moving camera - tiltable mirror arranged in front of lens compensates for angle changes

The basic principle avoiding blurring of the picture caused by camera movement during exposure is remarkably simple, in that a tiltable mirror is arranged in front of the camera lens to compensate for the change in angle of the photographed object. In a practical example, whereby an aircraft is the object, means are provided to rotate the mirror (S) at a constant speed equal to the speed (V) of the aircraft divided by twice the height of flight (H). Conversely, a picture without blurring can be taken from the aircraft, the mirror being operated by a motor-driven cam. This method is especially useful in taking a series of pictures.

The locking unit includes retaining members having a retaining unit sandwiching the movable vibration-correcting lens and arranged to slide along the direction orthogonal to the optical axis; and the actuating unit switches between the locked state and the unlocked state by moving the retaining members in opposing directions.

Photographic apparatus

A photographic apparatus comprises a movable platform and a controller. The movable platform has an imager that captures an optical image through a taking lens, and is movable and rotatable on an xy plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the taking lens. The controller calculates an inclination angle of the photographic apparatus, which is formed by rotation of the photographic apparatus around the optical axis, as measured with respect to a level plane perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force, and performs a controlled movement of the movable platform for an inclination correction based on the inclination angle. The controller calculates an elevation/depression angle that represents an angle at which the optical axis intersects the level plane, and determines whether the controlled movement of the movable platform for the inclination correction is performed on the basis of the elevation/depression angle.

A lens-barrel and a camera system including the lens-barrel are in an automatic focus mode in which a focusing unit is automatically driven by an automatic focus unit, during a time when a manual operation member is not operated. When the manual operation member is operated in a second direction, switching is done to a manual focus mode achieving focus by operation of the manual operation member in the second direction. However, when detecting the operation of the manual operation member in the second direction during a zoom operation in which the manual operation member is being operated in a first direction, switching is done to the automatic focus mode without being switched to the manual focus mode. Therefore, unintentional switching from the automatic focus mode to the manual focus mode during the zoom operation can be reliably prevented.

인덱스 프린트로서 필름의 복수프레임의 화상을 갖는 합성화상(inlaid compo sit image)을 프린트할 수 있는 사진인화장치에 있어서, 이 사진인화장치의 노광장치(10)는, 필름으로부터 판독된 화상정보에 의거하여 구해진 노광조건에 따라서 상기 노광장치를 제어하는 노광제어부(104)를 구비함과 동시에 상기 합성화상을 프린트하는 인덱스 프린터를 그 일부로서 포함하고 있다. 상기 판독된 화상정보로부터, 상기 결정된 노광조건으로 감광재료를 노광한 경우에 감광재료에 만들어질 수 있는 예상화상에 대응하는 화상정보를 생성하는 화상정보변환부(103)는 상기 결정된 노광조건을 이용하여 상기 판독된 화상정보로부터 상기 인덱스 프린트용 화상정보를 생성함과 동시에 이 화상정보를 상기 인덱스 프린터(40)로 이송한다. 상기 화상정보변환부(103)에서 생성된 화상을 체크하기 위해 이 화상을 표시하는 모니터(30)를 구비하고 있다. A photographic printing apparatus capable of printing an composite image having a plurality of frames of a film as an index print, wherein the exposure apparatus 10 of the photographic printing apparatus is based on image information read from the film. An exposure control unit 104 for controlling the exposure apparatus in accordance with the exposure conditions obtained is provided, and an index printer for printing the composite image is included as a part thereof. From the read image information, the image information converting unit 103 for generating image information corresponding to an expected image that can be made in the photosensitive material when the photosensitive material is exposed to the determined exposure condition uses the determined exposure condition. By generating the index print image information from the read image information, the image information is transferred to the index printer 40 at the same time. The monitor 30 which displays this image for checking the image produced by the said image information conversion part 103 is provided.

Cata-dioptric system

반사 굴절 광학계(cata-dioptric system)를 개시한다. 본 발명의 일 실시 예에 따른 반사 굴절 광학계는 복수의 반사면을 통해 입사광을 반사시키는 반사 광학계와, 상기 반사된 입사광을 굴절시키는 굴절 광학계를 포함하고, 상기 복수의 반사면 각각의 내경(internal diameter)은 상기 복수의 반사면 각각의 내경에 인접하는 다른 반사면의 외경(external diameter)과 동일한 수직선 상에 위치하거나 상기 굴절 광학계의 상면을 포함하는 수직선으로부터 더 가까운 거리에 위치한다.
