Abstract
A camera has a motor, a camera mechanism driven by rotation of the motor, a detector for detecting the rotation direction of the motor, and a controller for driving the camera mechanism by energizing the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in a forward direction. To stop the motor, the controller energizes the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in a reverse direction and then, in response to a rotation direction inversion detecting output fed from the detector, energizes the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in the forward direction again for a predetermined period of time.
Claims9
A camera comprising:
- a motor;
- a camera mechanism driven by rotation of the motor;
- a detector for detecting a rotation direction of the motor;
- and
- a controller for driving the camera mechanism by energizing the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in a forward direction;
- wherein, to stop the motor, the controller energizes the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in a reverse direction and then, in response to a rotation direction inversion detecting output fed from the detector, energizes the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in the forward direction again for a predetermined period of time.
An apparatus having a drive control device comprising:
- a motor;
- a driven mechanism driven by rotation of the motor;
- a detector for detecting a rotation direction of the motor;
- and
- a controller for driving the driven mechanism by energizing the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in a forward direction;
- wherein, to stop the motor, the controller energizes the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in a reverse direction and then, in response to a rotation direction inversion detecting output fed from the detector, energizes the motor in such a way that the motor rotates in the forward direction again for a predetermined period of time.
