Abstract
A control method applied to a photographing apparatus that includes a lens, an external device, and a body communicatively connected to the lens and the external device. The control method includes the body sending a shutter opening command to the lens; the lens sending a trigger signal to the body according to the shutter opening command, the trigger signal including a first pulse and a second pulse; and the body receiving the trigger signal sent from the lens, triggering a resetting operation of an image sensor inside the body according to the first pulse and triggering activation of the external device according to the second pulse.
Claims20
A control method, applied to a photographing apparatus comprising a lens, an external device, and a body communicatively connected to the lens and the external device, the control method comprising:
- the body sending a shutter opening command to the lens;
- the lens sending a trigger signal to the body according to the shutter opening command, the trigger signal comprising a first pulse and a second pulse;
- the body receiving the trigger signal sent from the lens, gating the first pulse to an image sensor to trigger a resetting operation of the image sensor inside the body according to the first pulse, and gating the second pulse to the external device such that the external device receives the second pulse to trigger activation of the external device according to the second pulse.
A photographing apparatus, comprising:
- a lens;
- an external device;
- and
- a body communicatively connected to the lens and the external device;
- wherein:
- the body is configured to send a shutter opening command to the lens;
- the lens is configured to send a trigger signal to the body according to the shutter opening command, the trigger signal comprising a first pulse and a second pulse;
- and
- the body is further configured to receive the trigger signal sent from the lens, gate the first pulse to an image sensor to trigger a resetting operation of the image sensor inside the body according to the first pulse, and gate the second pulse to the external device such that the external device receives the second pulse to trigger activation of the external device according to the second pulse.
A movable platform, comprising:
- a movable platform body;
- and
- a photographing apparatus mounted on the movable platform body and comprising:
- a lens;
- an external device;
- and
- a body communicatively connected to the lens and the external device;
- wherein:
- the body is configured to send a shutter opening command to the lens;
- the lens is configured to send a trigger signal to the body according to the shutter opening command, the trigger signal comprising a first pulse and a second pulse;
- and
- the body is further configured to receive the trigger signal sent from the lens, gate the first pulse to an image sensor to trigger a resetting operation of the image sensor inside the body according to the first pulse, and gate the second pulse to the external device such that the external device receives the second pulse to trigger activation of the external device according to the second pulse.
