Abstract
The device and method are intended for the standardization of picture taking without contact with the subject. Two light beamers converging at a distance within the range of camera focus are enabling reproducible viewing conditions via superimposition of the spots of the beamers on the subject and the light of the beamers are extinguished during picture taking in order not to bias the image. The device is constituted of a body (1) adaptable to a camera (1) with objective (2) and is including two light beamers (4A) and (4B) whose beams (5A) and (5B) are converging at a distance (D) within the focus range of the camera as well as a mechanism to extinguish the light beamers during picture taking. It can be improved by enabling the covering of the focus ring (2) and zoom ring (8) of camera (1).
Claims9
A device to standardize photography picture taking adapting as an accessory to a regular photographic camera, this regular photographic camera being composed of a camera body (1), an optic (2) with at least a focus ring
- wherein the device is comprising:
- a device body (3) supporting at least two light beamers (4A) and (4B) with respective light sources (6A) and (6B) whose respective focused or coherent light beams (5A) and (5B) are converging to a point (S) such that the distance (D) between the optical center (C) of the camera (1) and the point of convergence (S) of the light beams (5A) and (5B) is included into the focus range of the camera (1),
- a two-stage push button (P) such that a tap on the button is turning the light beamers (4A) and (4B) on and such that additional pressure on the button is simultaneously extinguishing the light beamers (4A) and (4B) and releasing the shutter of the camera (1).
