The invention provides a camera which uses a signal integrating and accumulating type image sensor for receiving light from a photographing optical system prior to the photographing operation and for producing an output which can be utilized for a predetermined purpose, with the integrating time of the image sensor being controlled in accordance with the output from the image sensor. According to the improvements of the present invention, the signal integrating time of the image sensor is fixed, in association with the photographing operation, at the value of that of the integrating operation just before the photographing operation.

Disclosed is a signal accumulating time control method for a signal accumulating type radiation sensing device which produces an electrical signal corresponding to the amount of incident radiation and accumulates the same. According to the improvement of the present invention, the accumulating time is controlled by successive approximation at different intervals when there happens a situation in which the accumulating time must be changed greatly.

In a signal accumulating time control method and apparatus for a signal accumulating type radiation sensing device which produces an electrical signal corresponding to the amount of incident radiation and accumulates the same, an accumulating time controller has first and second different control modes and is adapted to change over from one of said first and second control modes to the other when the intensity of said incident radiation fluctuates a large amount.

A signal processing system for processing output signals from an accumulating-type photoelectric transducer element is disclosed which has a squaring circuit and a threshold level control circuit which vary the threshold level of the output signals from the photoelectric transducer element at least at a part of a processing circuit, depending upon the ambient temperature and/or the intensity of light incident on the photoelectric transducer element, so that noise components included in the output signals from the photoelectric transducer element can be suppressed.

In the disclosed focus detecting system, the focusing condition of an objective lens relative to an object is determined by a number of pairs of radiation sensitive elements arranged in a linear array, and a number of lens elements arranged in a linear array corresponding to the linear array of the pairs of radiation sensitive elements. Each lens element is disposed so that one radiation sensitive element in each pair of radiation sensitive elements is arranged to cause one radiation sensitive element in each pair of radiation sensitive elements to receive radiation from a first portion of the objective lens and to cause the other radiation sensitive element to receive radiation from a second portion of the objective lens. The plural lens elements assume the form of a plurality of cylindrical lens elements arranged in a linear array corresponding to the linear array of the pairs of radiation sensitive elements with each of the pitches between successive cylindrical lens elements varying along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical lens element.

The disclosed camera is focused manually with a helicoidally movable lens barrel and fine focused automatically by movement of the lens mount along the lens' optical axis. The lens mount is automatically started at a predetermined position, such as a mid position, in its movable range, and the automatic operation is disabled when the mount reaches either limit of its movable range.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of detecting the focusing condition of an image forming optical system to an object, in which two images of the object are formed with respective light beams from the prescribed exit pupil areas lying in almost symmetry to each other with respect to the optical axis of the optical system and are sensed to obtain an equal number of picture element data for each of the images, and based on the thus-obtained picture element data, while sequential shifting for the first image is carried out from its one end to its opposite end, and a sequential shifting for the second image from its symmetric one end thereto to its opposite end, each by a predetermined number of picture elements, a correlation betweeen the first and second images in every predetermined equal number of picture elements is sought, whereby an optimum correlation is obtained, the corresponding mutual positional relationship between the above-described predetermined numbers of picture elements is detected to discriminate whether or not the above-described image forming optical system is in focus for the above-described object.
摘要:
Disclosed is a TTL (Through-The-Lens) type focus detecting device for use in an interchangeable lens-equipped camera, in which a plurality of lenslets are positioned at or near the prescribed focal plane of the objective lens, each of the lenslets is associated with two or more pairs of photosensitive elements. Upon attachment of an objective lens to the camera body, one of the pairs of photosensitive elements for each lenslet is automatically selected to operate on the basis of the dimensions of the used objective lens. The outputs of the selected pairs of photosensitive elements for all the lenslets are processed to detect whether or not a positional difference between two images of an object formed with light beams from the objective lens at respective virtual exit pupils lying in almost symmetry with respect to the optical axis thereof is present, whereby the detection of whether or not the objective lens is in-focus is indicated.
摘要:
In the device disclosed, an image formed by an optical system is scanned by an image sensor composed of independently arranged photoelectric transducing elements to produce an image scanning signal. A detecting circuit detects the variation of the brightness between the adjacent image elements as a measure of the sharpness of the image and the focus of the optical system. The focus detection accuracy is improved by non-linear transformation of the brightness variation signal with a non-linear transformation circuit that weighs the brightness variation signal on the basis of the signal level. A signal forming circuit detects the difference between the outputs of transducing elements and adds the differences to produce a comparator signal when a predetermined relationship is reached between the sharpness indication and the addition signal. An indicator indicates that the focusing condition cannot be discerned in response to the comparison signal and a control inhibits the output of the detection circuit to the indicator prior to the addition signal.
