Combination imaging apparatus using a reflector and method thereof

Abstract

A combination imaging apparatus using a reflector and method are provided. The present combination imaging apparatus and method comprise a lens assembly for forming an optical image corresponding to a subject, and first and second charge-coupled devices (CCDs) each for converting the optical image into an electrical image signal, The apparatus and method further comprise a reflector for changing an optical path of light incident through the lens assembly and forming an optical image on any of the first and second CCDs, and a circuit part for processing, reproducing, and storing the converted optical image of any of the first and second CCDs. Accordingly, the combination imaging apparatus can capture high-quality moving pictures and still images using a single lens assembly.
