A camera displacement mechanism control device can maintain the time required to effect removal of backlash within a set time. Zooming-down is started by the zoom-down switch being turned ON, and the lens barrel is driven as far as the wide-angle terminus if the zoom-down switch is not turned OFF during zooming-down. Alternatively, if the zoom down switch is turned OFF during zooming-down, the lens barrel is driven to the next halt position after the position where the zoom-down switch was turned OFF. In either case, the lens barrel is caused to overshoot the target halt position in the direction of scrolling-in for a time interval long enough to effect removal of backlash, and is subsequently driven in the direction of scrolling-out and halted at the described target halt position.

A vibration compensation device for use in an optical imaging system, such as a camera, having a vibration detection unit to detect vibrations in the camera and a vibration compensation unit to drive a vibration compensation optical lens perpendicular to an optical axis to correct for the vibrations detected by the vibration detection unit. A display unit, preferably a lamp, is provided to indicate the detection of vibrations by the vibration detection unit. Further, the vibration detection device is provided with a switch to allow the user to select whether the vibration compensation device is to be enabled or disabled. When the vibration detection device is enabled, upon the halfpress of a shutter release button, the vibration detection unit is initialized to determine the point at which the angular velocity of the vibration compensation optical lens equals 0. Thereafter, the vibration compensation unit drives the vibration compensation optical lens in response to the signals from the vibration detection unit. Conversely, when the vibration compensation device is disabled, a wait time, equal to the amount of time otherwise required to detect where the angular velocity equals 0, is waited so as to present the photographer with the same feel regardless of whether he takes a picture with the vibration compensation device enabled or disabled.

A camera is provided in which the body is downsized as far as possible and which enables the incorporation of a large capacity power supply battery to be accomplished efficiently and compactly. A space portion in the camera body which is surrounded by a cartridge chamber, a film take-up spool chamber and a photographing optical path chamber between a photo-taking lens and an aperture portion is used as a power supply battery chamber. A power supply battery substantially equal to the lengthwise direction of a photographing image field is contained in the power supply battery chamber. Capacitors for the light emission of an electronic flash device are disposed in the containing space of the spool chamber in the camera body which is opposite to the cartridge chamber, along a side portion of the spool chamber. Further, a partition wall partitioning the power supply battery chamber and the photographing optical path chamber is bulged to a location which faces the photographing optical path chamber but does not interfere with the photographing optical path to a film surface. Also, a film rewinding gear train is disposed in a space formed at one side of the power supply battery chamber in the direction of thickness of the camera body, along the lengthwise direction of the power supply battery.

The camera body has first and second ends and a photographic lens which is positioned on the camera body between the first end and the second end. A battery compartment, first and second anti-vibrations sensors and a main capacitor are all positioned in the first end of the camera body. The first anti-vibration sensor is positioned between the battery compartment and the photographic lens. The first and second anti-vibration sensors reside on the same sensor card and the sensor card has a connector mounted thereon. An anti-vibration CPU resides on a separate, flexible printed circuit card and is connected to the anti-vibration sensors by inserting a portion of the flexible printed circuit card into the connector on the sensor card. Communication terminals are provided inside the camera for allowing external testing equipment to communicate with the anti-vibration sensors and the anti-vibration CPU. Moreover, the shutter release button is on the top of the camera and a tripod is fixed to the bottom of the camera so that depression forces from the pressing of the release switch are transferred to the tripod and do not cause the camera to vibrate.

An apparatus to detect the amount and direction of rotary motion for use in a vibration compensation system in an optical camera. An indicator disk is provided around the output shaft of a motor which actuates a compensation lens to compensate for vibrations to the camera. The periphery of the indicator disk is provided with a series of holes. A pair of photodetectors, are arranged on the periphery of the disk so as to detect the holes passing thereunder. The two photodetectors are separated by a distance equal to 3/4 of the distance between two holes. By comparing the pattern of signals emitted by the photodetectors the direction of rotation of the indicator disk can be determined. Further, the pulses in the output of either photodetector can be counted to determine the amount of movement. The actual direction and amount of movement as calculated is provided to a vibration compensation circuit as feedback for use in controlling the compensation lens.

A display device for a camera to accurately display distance information and depth of field information. The camera includes a focusing control device to drive a photographic optical system to an in-focus position in relation to a photographic subject. A distance region identification device identifies a distance region to which the photographic subject belongs from among a plurality of predetermined distance regions into which the photographic distance range which can be achieved by photographic optical systems has been divided, according to information derived by a focus control operation by the focusing control device. A distance information display modifies the display conditions of one part of a display having multiple display segments to indicate one part of the photographic distance range which can be achieved by the photographic optical systems. The distance region identification device can set the number of divisions of the distance region to an integer multiple of the number of display segments of the distance information display device. A depth of field for the photographic subject is computed based on the photographic distance and the computed depth of field is displayed on a group of display segments corresponding to the depth of field.
