摘要:
An optical equipment with a lens position control device for a zoom lens of inner focus type, enabling a faster focusing operation and also enabling focusing to an object of a very short distance, regardless of the initial state of the zoom lens. The equipment is provided with a first detector for detecting the zoom state, a second detector for detecting the focus state, and a controller varying the control of the zooming lens group and the focusing lens group according to the zooming state. When the focusing lens is to be moved to a position for focusing to a shorter distance, the controller drives the focusing lens group and the zooming lens group during the same time, only if the zooming lens group is at the wide angle side with respect to a predetermined zoom state, thus reducing the focusing time without a significant change in the image angle.

A lens position control device for a lens system, the lens system including a variator and a compensator which also serves as the focusing lens, includes a detecting circuit for detecting the position of the variator and the focusing lens, a memory for storing information representing a plurality of values of the speed of movement of the focusing lens determined depending on the positions of the variator and the focusing lens and a predetermined value of the speed of movement of the variator, and a control circuit responsive to zoom actuation for controlling the movements of the variator and the focusing lens. Depending on the information representing the positions of the variator and focusing lens determined by the detecting circuit, the control circuit selects a specific one of the values of the moving speed from the memory so that the focusing lens moves at the particular speed, and the movements of the variator and the focusing lens are started at almost the same time.

摘要:
An image pickup apparatus in which an actuator varies an image forming position with respect to an image forming plane. The apparatus has a control mechanism for controlling the actuator. This control is such that the actuator performs a first operation for correcting an image shake and a second operation for moving the image formed on the image forming plane. In the latter operation, the image is moved by a predetermined amount relative to a pixel pitch of the image forming plane to change a resolving power.

An image-shake preventing device or an optical axis deflecting device includes a lock part arranged to lock a movable optical member when the state of a barrier member comes to block incident light and when the position of a photo-taking optical system is either outside of a normal shooting area or in the neighborhood of a wide-angle end position. This arrangement obviates the necessity of providing the device with any operation part, a driving part, etc., solely for the purpose of locking the movable optical member and thus permits reduction in size and cost of the device. When the movable optical member must be locked, the arrangement also enables the device to adequate lock the movable optical member.
