摘要： A camera having improvements in (a) the placement of anti-vibration sensors, (b) the connection between components of an anti-vibration mechanism, (c) the connection between the anti-vibration mechanism and external testing devices and (d) the connection of the camera to a tripod. The camera body has first and second ends and a photographic lens which is positioned on the camera body between the first end and the second end. A battery compartment, first and second anti-vibrations sensors and a main capacitor are all positioned in the first end of the camera body. The first anti-vibration sensor is positioned between the battery compartment and the photographic lens. The first and second anti-vibration sensors reside on the same sensor card and the sensor card has a connector mounted thereon. An anti-vibration CPU resides on a separate, flexible printed circuit card and is connected to the anti-vibration sensors by inserting a potion of the flexible printed circuit card into the connector on the sensor card. Communication terminals are provided inside the camera for allowing external testing equipment to communicate with the anti-vibration sensors and the anti-vibration CPU. Moreover, the shutter release button is on the top of the camera and a tripod is fixed to the bosom of the camera so that depression forces from the pressing of the release switch are transferred to the tripod and do not cause the camera to vibrate.

摘要： An optical lens barrel having a lens group which serves as a vibration compensation lens group and a focusing lens group. The lens group is held by a holder movably secured to a plate. The lens group is movable within the plate on a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens group via a pair of DC motors and associated gear trains. The DC motors and associated gear trains are mounted on the plate. The plate is slidably movable parallel to the optical axis of the lens group by a stepping motor via a series of concentric drive rings disposed around the plate. The drive rings also actuate an aperture mechanism which serves as a shutter. This reduces both the number of lenses and components needed to provide vibration compensation and autofocusing functions.

摘要： A camera having a hand tremor correction mechanism with improved positioning of the hand tremor correction mechanism. The camera includes a photographic lens which moves along the optical axis of the photographic optical system. A vibration detection unit detects camera vibration, such as from hand tremor, and produces a corresponding output signal. A vibration correction mechanism, coupled to the external periphery of the photographic lens and electrically connected to the vibration detection unit via a flexible printed circuit board, receives the output signal of the vibration detection unit and compensates for the vibration detected by the vibration detection unit. The camera can also have a vibration correction mechanism which is coupled to the external periphery of the photographic lens and which shifts the photographic lens to compensate for the effects of vibration, the vibration correction mechanism having a thickness or width in the optical axis direction which is less than or equal to the thickness or width of the photographic lens in the optical axis direction.

摘要： A shake-prevention mechanism is positioned on a support unit that supports the shake-prevention optical system. A single flexible printed circuit board having connection ends that connect to the various electrical connections is used as the wiring device to interconnect to the various electrical connections in the mechanism in addition to connecting the mechanism to external devices. The connection ends of the flexible printed circuit board are mounted to pinch and/or surround the support unit containing the drive mechanism from the front and back in the direction of the optical axis. Additionally, a base plate and a cover unit are positioned to have a spacing in between, together forming a support unit for supporting a shake-prevention optical system that is part of the shooting lens system. One photo-interrupter is fixed to the base plate that supports the motor, while another photo-interrupter is fixed to the cover unit that presses the motor and is a unit separate from the base plate. A shutter unit is integrated with a lens group with a smaller diameter than the anti-vibration lens group. The shutter wiring board and the anti-vibration wiring board are connected electrically in a surface substantially perpendicular to the optical axis formed in the vicinity of a lens group of the shutter unit.

摘要： A camera lens barrel for a camera includes first, second, third and fourth lens groups with a diaphragm located between the second and third lens groups. The second and third lens groups are connected, while the first, third and fourth lens groups can move relative to each other along the optical axis of the camera lens barrel. A diaphragm driver is positioned radially outside of the second lens group, while a lens shift driver device, including the horizontal and vertical lens shift drivers, is positioned radially outside of the third lens group. The diaphragm driver and the lens shift driver device are connected to a control unit via a flexible printed circuit. A power transmission extends from the diaphragm driver to the fourth lens group. The power transmission is connected to the diaphragm driver via a pin. When the pin is rotated, the angular rotation of a pin is transmitted to the fourth lens group to focus the camera lens barrel. Thus, the overall diameter of the camera lens barrel is reduced.

摘要： A motor speed control device, preferably for use in a camera, controls a motor to rotate at a constant speed in accordance with a pulsed signal output from a motor speed detector, such as a photointerrupter. To overcome the control problems that occur when the motor abnormally stops rotating, preventing generation of pulsed, the motor speed control device includes a timer that measures elapsed time from a most recent pulse. When the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value, the motor speed control device accelerates the motor so that control of the motor at a constant speed can continue.
