摘要:
A liquid crystal display device for a camera includes a display member having liquid crystal material for providing a display of photographic information, and a focusing glass for forming an image of an object which is to be photographed. A mask is arranged to face the display member and the focusing glass, the mask including a first transparent part which faces a display part of the display member, and a second transparent part which faces the object image formed on the focusing glass. A light shading part is provided between the first and second transparent parts of the mask to shade an end part of the display member from light. The mask enables view finder optics provided in the camera to display a rectangular view field having straight sides to the camera user. This is accomplished by forming boundary lines between the first and second transparent parts and the light shading part of the mask, wherein each boundary line substantially forms an arc having a center located on a straight line which is perpendicular to one of a long and short side of the view field, and which line passes through the center of the view field. The arcuate boundary lines overcome distortion produced by the view finder optics so that they are visually recognized as being straight.

The present invention relates to a control device for camera, so designed as to sequentially control the photographing period, the release time and the release frequency in an automatic way and to print the data information on the film. The eventual abrupt change of photographic conditions is detected so as to carry out the releasing independently of the sequential control, stopping the sequential control and automatically controlling the starting time or the determination time of the sequential control.

An automatic exposure control device for a camera capable of permitting flash photography includes an exposure computing portion for natural light photography wherein the computing portion generates an exposure signal corresponding to the brightness of an object and an exposure computing portion for flash photography wherein the computing portion is arranged to generate an exposure signal suitable for a flash photographing operation. An exposure control portion is responsive to one of the exposure signals generated by the natural light photographing exposure computing portion and the flash photographing exposure computing portion. A change-over device applies one of the exposure signals to the exposure control portion. An electromagnetic release device actuates the internal mechanism of the camera wherein the release device produces an electrical signal when it operates. A signal generating device generates a selection signal until the electrical signal is applied from the electromagnetic release device and generates an inhibition signal after application of the electrical signal. A discharge tube emits a flash therefrom an an accumulating portion accumulates light emitting energy for the discharge tube. A detecting device detects the accumulation of the light emitting energy and is arranged to produce a detection signal when the accumulated amount of energy reaches a predetermined value. A triggering device enables the discharge tube to emit a flash in response to the detection signal. The automatic exposure control device performs other functions relative to exposure control.

An exposure control device for a camera having a first counter which performs analog-to-digital conversion for a photometric purpose and a second counter for sequence control of each part of the camera. For use of a self-timer, the first and second counters are connected in series with each other to use them in a state of having their steps added together. Upon completion of a self-timer photographing operation, the first and second counters are separated from each other and are brought back into their original conditions.

A photographic information display apparatus for a camera provided with at least three display chips. The second chip has a number of segments less than the first chip while the segments of the third display chip are connected to a driving signal transfer line of an encoder which is not connected to the segments of the second chip. This arrangement dispenses with another driving signal transfer line for the third display chip.

A method of targeted corruption of user data in a shingled magnetic recording disk includes identifying user data on a Track_N targeted for corruption; identifying a readback centerline of the Track_N; identifying a readback centerline of an adjacent track to Track_N; acquiring user data of the adjacent track; and rewriting the user data of the adjacent track with an offset write centerline to overwrite magnetic material at the readback centerlines of both Track_N and the adjacent track.

Embodiments of the present invention help to accomplish accurate and reliable clearance control. In one embodiment of the present invention, a disk drive device adjusts the clearance between a head element portion and a disk with a heater on a slider. The clearance control according to the present embodiment incorporates the variation in heater power efficiency in the clearance variation depending on the radial position. The clearance variation in a unit of heater power varies depending on the radial position. Taking account of the variation in the heater power efficiency in the thermal fly-height control (TFC) depending on the radial position in addition to the clearance variation between the head element portion and the disk caused by variation in fly-height or attitude, accomplishes more accurate TFC.

Embodiments of the invention reduce a possibility that a head will collide with a medium when the clearance between the head and the medium is adjusted by using a medium, and sufficiently reduce the clearance even at an initial stage of accessing a data area. In one embodiment, a hard disk drive (HDD) keeps a heater in an OFF state for a period of time from the start of seek operation until the specified timing after a following mode starts. This prevents a head element from colliding with a magnetic disk, and also prevents flying properties from changing due to the deformation of the ABS. In the above specified timing, the heater is switched from OFF to ON. Specifically, for example, on completion of seek operation, in the timing in which a head arrives at a target track, or in the timing in which an HDC/MPU enters the following mode, the heater is turned ON.
