Abstract:
A reflection type imaging apparatus includes a deflector that reflects light incident from an outside; a reflecting mirror that reflects the light reflected by the deflector in a direction parallel to a direction in which the light is incident on the deflector; an image sensor that is disposed below the reflecting mirror and arranged perpendicular to the direction in which the light is incident on the deflector, wherein the light reflected by the reflecting mirror is focused on the image sensor; and a stray light blocking member disposed at one side of the image sensor facing the deflector, the stray light blocking member configured to block stray light rays from the deflector from being directly incident on the image sensor.
Abstract:
A photographing apparatus and a photographing method are provided. The photographing apparatus includes: a viewfinder configured to display a live image; a display configured to display the live image and receive a touch input; and a controller configured to activate at least one selected from the viewfinder and the display according to whether a user approaches the photographing apparatus and activate a set area of a display area of the display for performing an autofocusing function in response to the viewfinder being activated. The set area is an area where a touch for setting an autofocusing area of the live image displayed through the viewfinder is input. Therefore, the user intuitively performs autofocusing on the live image with observing the live image displayed through the viewfinder.
Abstract:
