摘要:
A position control device for a lens system, the system including a variator and a compensator the latter of which also serves as the focusing lens, comprising device for detecting the degree of focus, device for detecting the positions of the variator and compensator, device for controlling movement of the compensator in accordance with at least the output of the position detecting device, and device responsive to occurrence of an out-of-focus state for correcting the manner in which the control device controls movement of the compensator, whereby the correcting device varies the manner between when the variator moves from the telephoto side to the wide-angle side and when from the wide-angle side to the telephoto side.

A vibration wave motor is driven at a high efficiency by arranging a contact area of a movable member which contacts a vibration member such that a displacement locus in the contact area is essentially coincident with a vibration locus in the vibration member.

An automatic focusing device having a light projecting device, a light receiving device arranged to detect a reflection light quantity reflected by an object to be photographed as a result of light projection by the light projecting device and a distance measuring device arranged to measure a distance to the object by the reflection light quantity received by the light receiving device is capable of adequately performing a focusing operation even in cases where the reflection light quantity is at a level too low for the distance measuring device to give any result of distance measurement. This advantage is attained by the following arrangement: (i) the automatic focusing device is provided with a current control device which is arranged to increase the power of a light flux to be emitted from the light projecting device; (ii) a lens driving operation is brought to a stop in the event of an object of a low reflection factor; (iii) the light quantity accumulating time of the light receiving means can be lengthened; or (iv) a comparison level can be lowered.
摘要:
Disclosed is an automatic focus control system including an active type automatic focusing device. The system further includes detecting apparatus which produces a characteristic signal when detecting that an image forming optical apparatus is in an out-of-focus condition, and control means which renders the automatic focusing device in an inoperative condition when the optical apparatus reaches an in-focus condition. It also renders the focusing device in an operative condition in response to the characteristic signal produced by the detecting apparatus.
摘要:
In a vibration motor, electrostrictive elements arranged or polarized phase-differentially are bonded to a plurality of concentric ring-shaped vibration members arranged on at least one of a stator and a rotor, voltages are applied to the electrostrictive elements to generate travelling vibration waves in the vibration members and the rotor contacting to the vibration members is friction-driven by the travelling vibration wave.
