A method of fixing an optical member for fixing the optical member to a supporting member, wherein an intermediate member that is fused upon irradiation light is disposed between the optical member and the supporting member. By irradiating the light that is transmitted through the optical member onto the intermediate member, the intermediate member is fused, and the optical member is fixed to the supporting member.

An image pickup device which makes it possible to perform shooting without moving a device body in response to motion of an object, and also even if an eye gaze direction of a shooter changes in response to the motion of the object, to perform the shooting while turning a display monitor to the eye gaze direction of the shooter. A lens barrel is supported on a device body in a manner rotatable around at least a first axis. A display monitor has a screen section on which a shot image captured by the lens barrel is displayed. A lens barrel drive unit is adapted to rotate the lens barrel around at least the first axis. An interlock unit is adapted to rotate the display monitor around the first axis, in an interlocked manner with the rotation of the lens barrel around the first axis by the lens barrel drive unit.

An image-pickup apparatus includes a mirror moving into and out of an optical path, a shutter mechanism including shutter blades and a shutter-driving spring driving the shutter blades in an open direction, a charge-holding member holding the shutter mechanism with the shutter-driving spring charged, and a hold-releasing member releasing the holding of the shutter mechanism by the charge-holding member. The shutter blades and the charge-holding member are moved in a plane parallel to a light-receiving surface of an image-pickup element. The hold-releasing member is moved in a plane orthogonal to the light-receiving surface of the image-pickup element and drives the mirror in a moving-out direction when releasing the holding of the shutter mechanism. The apparatus has a small configuration associated with driving the shutter mechanism and is appropriate for providing a cleaning mechanism of the image-pickup element by using a movable member different from the shutter blades.
摘要:
A fixation method for fixing an optical member to a holding member using irradiation of a laser beam. The method includes the steps of inserting the optical member into the holding member, providing a fixing member, mounting the fixing member to the holding member having the optical member positioned therebetween, and irradiating laser beams on the holding member through the fixing member.

A method for fixing an optical member of an optical unit including the optical member and a holding member is provided. The holding member includes positioning portions for positioning the optical member. The optical member and the holding member are fixed to each other upon laser welding of a plurality of locations of the holding member other than the positioning portions.

A first blade is made up of two arms and three blades supported by the arms, wherein one of the arms is rotated in the clockwise direction by a driving pin pressing a pressed portion thereof only when a first-blade driving member is rotated by the force from a driving spring, and the other arm is reciprocally rotated by an output pin fit to a slot when a motor is reciprocally rotated. A second blade is made up of two arms and three blades supported by the arms, wherein one of the arms is reciprocally rotated by a driving pin fit to a slot when a second-blade driving member is reciprocally rotated. One of two action methods can be selected by determining a driving sequence for the first-blade driving member and the motor as to the first blade. Thus, the present invention provides a focal-plane shutter for a digital still camera which can take a picture with both the normally-open method and the normally-closed method.

A camera includes a first mirror contact member contactable with one side of a mirror, a first rotation member rotated about a first rotation shaft when the first mirror contact member is contacted with one side of the mirror, a second mirror contact member contactable with the other side of the mirror, and a second rotation member rotated about a second rotation shaft when the second mirror contact member is contacted with the other side of the mirror. The first rotation shaft is formed at a position different from a position of the first rotation member where the first mirror contact member is provided. The second rotation shaft is formed at a position different from a position of the second rotation member where the second mirror contact member is provided. The first and second rotation members are arranged such that the first and second rotation shafts are coaxially positioned.

A camera including a drive source, where the drive source is driven so that a charge member enters a moving locus of a mirror drive member when driving a mirror from a mirror down position to a mirror up position. After the charge member has entered the moving locus of the mirror drive member, the mirror drive member is moved from the mirror down position to the mirror up position by an urging force of the mirror drive spring.

A method of fixing an optical member for fixing the optical member to a supporting member, wherein an intermediate member that is fused upon irradiation light is disposed between the optical member and the supporting member. By irradiating the light that is transmitted through the optical member onto the intermediate member, the intermediate member is fused, and the optical member is fixed to the supporting member.
