Abstract
A correction camera that makes it possible to confirm the result of correction through a viewfinder without an increase in the size of a taking lens or an increase in costs. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a camera in which a taking lens 2 is attachable/detachable to/from a camera body 1 includes an optical correction member 14 that is moved in order to correct a tremble by photographer. The optical correction member 14 is located near a mounting/dismounting member of the camera body 1 in or from which the taking lens 2 is mounted or dismountd.
Claims35
A tremble correction camera comprising:
- a camera body;
- a taking lens attachable/detachable to/from the camera body;
- and
- a tremble correction optical system located near a dismounting/mounting member of the camera body in which the taking lens is mounted.
1 more element
A tremble correction camera comprising:
- a camera body;
- a light path changing unit for changing a path of light that represents a pickup image through a taking optical system;
- and
- a tremble correction optical system located in front of the light path changing unit within the camera body.
1 more element
A tremble correction camera comprising:
- a camera body having a main mirror and a mount in or from which a taking lens can be mounted or dismounted;
- a tremble correction optical system interposed between the main mirror and the mount, composed of optical members, and moved in order to correct a tremble;
- a driver for driving the tremble correction optical system;
- a first control unit incorporated in the camera body and controlling photography;
- a second control unit incorporated in the camera body and controlling the driver;
- a first detector for detecting whether the taking lens is attached to the camera body;
- and
- a second detector for detecting whether a tremble correction mode in which the tremble correction optical system is used to correct a tremble is set.
5 more elements
A tremble correction camera comprising:
- a detector for detecting a tremble of the camera;
- a correction optical system interposed between a mount, in or from which a taking lens can be mounted or dismounted, and a main mirror, and moved in order to correct a tremble according to the tremble detected by the detector;
- a judging unit for judging whether a focal length exhibited by the taking lens falls within a predetermined range;
- and
- a corrective movement restricting unit for restricting the corrective movement of the tremble correction optical system according to the result of judgment made by the judging unit.
