摘要:
Image projection apparatus wherein, a focusing lens is controlled when a shutter is operated so that a contrast signal, obtained when a luminance signal from a camera signal processing circuit is supplied to an auto focusing detection circuit, may become maximum. A laser diode is driven to generate laser beams that are condensed into parallel laser beams by a condenser. These parallel laser beams are applied to a hologram plate and thereby diffracted. The diffracted laser beams interfere with each other, to produce a hologram image with sufficient contrast. Therefore, satisfactory focusing can be made in an auto focus mode of the contrast detection system or in a manual focus mode.

The present invention relates to an image projection apparatus, a projection image pattern, a laser drive apparatus and a camera apparatus fit for use with an electronic still camera for example. In the present invention, when a microcomputer 8 detects that a shutter release 9 is depressed, wherein a focusing lens [3] is controlled when a shutter is operated so that a contrast signal, obtained when a luminance signal from a camera signal processing circuit [6] is supplied to an auto focusing detection circuit, [7] may become maximum. A control signal from the microcomputer 8 is supplied to a laser driver 13, so that a laser diode [14] is driven to generate light of laser beams only while this control signal is supplied to the laser driver. The light of laser beams thus generated is further that are condensed into light of parallel laser beams by a condenser [15]. These parallel laser beams are applied to a hologram plate [16] and thereby diffracted. The diffracted laser beams thus diffracted are caused to interfere with each other, whereby to produce a hologram reproduced image 17 is reproduced. This makes it possible to project a hologram reproduced image with sufficient contrast onto an object by small power consumption. Therefore, satisfactory focusing can be made in an auto focus mode of the contrast detection system or in a manual focus mode. At the same time, this apparatus can really be incorporated, for example, into a small electronic still camera with ease.
摘要:
An automatic focus control method and apparatus are capable of correctly controlling the focus even when an object having a high contrast enters or leaves goes out from a distance measurement frame during the focusing operation. A control microcomputer monitors the detecting position of the focusing signal generated by an automatic focus detection circuit. If the control microcomputer concludes that the detecting position of the focusing signal is in a peripheral area of the distance measurement frame, the control microcomputer outputs a distance measurement frame control signal to change the location or the size of the distance measurement frame so that an object having a high contrast no longer either enters or goes out from the distance measurement frame.
