US 2024/0176208 A1 · CAMERA LENS ASSEMBLY

Abstract

A camera lens assembly includes a plurality of optical lenses accommodated in the camera lens assembly, a first lens mount for detachably mounting the camera lens assembly to the camera body, a first electric connector formed on a rear face of the camera lens assembly. The first electric connector is electrically coupled to the camera body when the camera lens assembly is mounted on the camera body, a lens communication unit connected to the first electric connector so as to transmit and receive an electrical signal between the camera lens assembly and the camera body, a lens driver for controlling a displacement of each of the plurality of optical lenses based on the electrical signal received from the camera body, and an indicator for visually presenting an imaging state of the camera body, based on the received electrical signal.

Dependent claims

A camera lens assembly capable of communicating with a camera body and having a processor and a memory disposed therein, the camera lens assembly comprising:

a plurality of optical lenses accommodated in the camera lens assembly;
a first lens mount for detachably mounting the camera lens assembly to the camera body;
a first electric connector formed on a rear face of the camera lens assembly, wherein the first electric connector is electrically coupled to the camera body when the camera lens assembly is mounted on the camera body;
a lens communication unit connected to the first electric connector so as to transmit and receive an electrical signal between the camera lens assembly and the camera body;
a lens driver for controlling a displacement of each of the plurality of optical lenses based on the electrical signal received from the camera body;
and
an indicator for visually presenting an imaging state of the camera body, based on the received electrical signal,
wherein the indicator is installed on a front face of the camera lens assembly so that an imaging target person imaged by the camera body can visually recognize the imaging state of the camera body.

A camera lens assembly capable of communicating with a camera body and having a processor and a memory disposed therein, the camera lens assembly comprising:

a plurality of optical lenses accommodated in the camera lens assembly;
a lens mount detachably coupled to a camera mount formed on the camera body so as to mount the camera lens assembly on the camera body;
an electric connector formed on one side of the lens mount and electrically coupled to the camera body;
a lens communication unit connected to the electric connector so as to transmit and receive an electrical signal between the camera lens assembly and the camera body;
a manual ring disposed on an outer face of the camera lens assembly so that a user can manipulate the manual ring in a rotational manner;
and
a lens driver for controlling a displacement of each of the plurality of optical lenses based on the electrical signal received from the camera body and/or a manipulation value of the manual ring,
wherein a gear train is formed on an outer circumferential face of the manual ring and is configured to be directly engaged with a follow-focus gear capable of rotating the manual ring without user intervention, wherein the gear train has a predetermined gear height and a predetermined contact face width.
