Abstract:
An imaging apparatus is provided, including a blade-driving device and a driving control unit which drives the front curtain actuator and the rear curtain actuator. The front curtain and the rear curtain are positioned at the open position at a time of start and termination of imaging, in which the front curtain moves from the closing position to the open position, and the rear curtain moves from the open position to the closing position, thereby performing an exposure operation. During consecutive photographing, the front curtain positioned at the closing position is moved once in a direction of the open position and is then returned to the closing position after the rear curtain is moved to the open position after termination of the exposure operation, and before a subsequent exposure operation is performed.
Abstract:
An imaging device includes: an image pickup element; a focal plane shutter including: a board including an opening exposing the image pickup element; a leading shutter and a trailing shutter movable between a closed position to close the opening and an opened position to open the opening; and a leading shutter actuator and a trailing shutter actuator respectively driving the leading shutter and the trailing shutter, a drive control portion that drives the leading shutter actuator and the trailing shutter actuator; and a control portion that controls the image pickup element.
Abstract:
An image pickup device includes: a focal plane shutter including: a board including an opening; a shutter moving to open and close the opening; an actuator moving the shutter; and a detection portion detecting that the shutter passes through a predetermined position, an image pickup element which light enters through the opening; and a drive control portion that controls the actuator to move the shutter, wherein the drive control portion performs movement control to move the shutter at least until the shutter passes through the predetermined position, and performs brake control to decelerate the shutter while the shutter is moving after the shutter passes through the predetermined position.
Abstract:
A focal-plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a blade opening and closing the opening; a rotor of an actuator for driving the blade; an output member rotated by the rotor and including a first gear portion; a drive member including a second gear portion meshing with the first gear portion, rotating about a predetermined axis, and driving the blade; and a positioning portion abutting with the drive member and defining an end of a rotational range of the drive member, wherein the first and second gear portions and the positioning portion overlap one another in a plane direction perpendicular to the axis.15
Abstract:
A blade drive device includes: a board including an opening; first and second blades opening and closing the opening; and first and second actuators respectively driving the first and second blades, wherein the first and second actuators respectively include first and second stators, first and second rotors, and first and second coils, and respectively drive the first and second blades through first and second drive members, the first drive member is arranged to overlap the first stator and the first coil in an optical axis direction, and the second drive member is arranged to overlap the second stator and the second coil in the optical axis direction.
Abstract:
A focal plane shutter includes a board including an opening; a leading blade and a trailing blade opening and closing the opening; a trailing blade actuator driving the trailing blade; a drive member driving the trailing blade by receiving driving force of the trailing blade actuator; and a buffering member abutting with the drive member in a state where the trailing blade recedes away from the opening, wherein the trailing blade actuator causes the drive member to move away from the buffering member from an abutting state therewith and to abut therewith again in a charging operation, and then starts an exposure operation.
