Abstract
A photographic apparatus comprises a movable platform, an operation unit, and a controller. The movable platform has an imager that captures an optical image through a taking lens, and is movable relative to the taking lens on an xy plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the taking lens. The operation unit is configured to set a movement quantity of the movable platform on the xy plane. The controller performs a controlled movement of the movable platform in accordance to the movement quantity set by using the operation unit.
Claims25
A photographic apparatus comprising:
- a movable platform that has an imager that captures an optical image through a taking lens, and is movable relative to said taking lens on an xy plane perpendicular to an optical axis of said taking lens;
- an operation unit that is configured to set a movement quantity of said movable platform on the xy plane;
- a controller that performs a controlled movement of said movable platform in accordance to said movement quantity set by using said operation unit;
- and
- a display that displays first information regarding a positional relationship between said movable platform and a movement limit of said movable platform, the first information being displayed at a predetermined fixed position in a predetermined portion of the display, while the controller controls movement of the movable platform,
- wherein said display further displays a through image generated by performing an image-processing operation on the optical image captured by said imager.

A photographic apparatus comprising:
- a movable platform that has an imager that captures an optical image through a taking lens, and is movable and rotatable relative to said taking lens on an xy plane perpendicular to an optical axis of said taking lens;
- an operation unit that is configured to set a movement quantity and a rotation quantity of said movable platform on the xy plane;
- a controller that performs a controlled movement of said movable platform in accordance to said movement quantity and said rotation quantity set by using said operation unit;
- and
- a display that displays first information regarding a positional relationship between said movable platform and a movement limit of said movable platform, the first information being displayed at a predetermined fixed position in a predetermined portion of the display, while the controller controls movement of the movable platform,
- wherein said display further displays a through image generated by performing an image-processing operation on the optical image captured by said image,
- wherein the display further displays second information regarding a sum of a camera inclination angle of said photographic apparatus and said rotation quantity, and
- wherein said camera inclination angle is formed by rotation of said photographic apparatus around said optical axis, as measured with respect to a level plane perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force.
