Abstract:
A digital camera according to the present invention includes a device to set up a plurality of exposure conditions, a device to obtain a plurality of imaging data imaged in accordance with the plurality of exposure conditions set by the plurality exposure conditions set up device, and a device to compare a sharpness based on the plurality of imaging data obtained by the plurality of imaging data obtaining device, and a shake of the camera or a blur of a subject is determined corresponding to the comparison result of the sharpness comparison device.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus that includes a device for discharging charge or F/E-IC for discharging charge accumulated in an imaging device or CCD and for canceling exposure in a discharging term of the charge. The imaging apparatus also includes a light shielding device or mechanical shutter unit for a mechanical shutter, which shields light by the mechanical shutter, and a control device or CPU block for hastening by a predetermined time the charge discharging term of the CCD in the discharging device and a light shielding timing of the mechanical shutter in the light shielding device, when a shutter speed for recording a subject is more than a predetermined time.

An imaging apparatus including a device for discharging charge or F/E-IC for discharging charge accumulated in an imaging device or CCD and for canceling exposure in a discharging term of the charge. The apparatus also includes a light shielding device or mechanical shutter unit for a mechanical shutter, which shields light by the mechanical shutter, and a control device or CPU block for controlling the discharging term of the discharging device and the light shielding timing of the mechanical shutter. The charge discharging term of the CCD in the discharging device is shortened and a light shielding timing of the mechanical shutter in the light shielding device is hastened by the control device or CPU block, when a computer exposure time computed by the control device or CPU block for recording a subject is shorter than an image recording term of one frame.
Abstract:
A camera that is equipped with a function of preventing a blurring of a picture caused by a hand movement of the camera operator. The camera comprises a first detector which detects a moving speed of the camera caused by a hand movement of the camera operator. An image moving speed on a film surface is then calculated on the basis of the moving speed detected by the first detector. A second detector detects a peak speed of the calculated image moving speed and a time of the peak speed. A presumptive image moving speed and a presumptive image moving quantity after the time of detecting the peak speed are then calculated on the basis of the peak speed and the time of the speak speed. In this way, the camera can function to control an exposure time and prevent a picture from blurring due to a hand movement by the camera operator, while still providing a camera which is small in size and simple in construction.
