摘要:
An image-pickup apparatus includes an image-pickup element photoelectrically converting an object image, a light-receiving sensor outputting a signal in accordance with a phase difference between a pair of object images, and a controller performing first focus control of controlling drive of a focus adjusting member based on a focus evaluation signal representing a contrast state of a video signal produced with the image-pickup element and second focus control of controlling drive of the focus adjusting member based on the signal in accordance with the phase difference. The controller stops the second focus control or switches focus control from the second focus control to the first focus control in response to a predetermined change found in the focus evaluation signal during the second focus control. The apparatus is capable of achieving an in-focus state smoothly and accurately with a hybrid AF.

An image pickup apparatus detects a subject based on an image signal output from an image sensing unit and acquires a size of the detected subject. The image pickup apparatus performs an automatic zooming operation such that a zoom lens is driven so as to increase or decrease the size of the subject so that the size of the subject becomes equal to a reference size of the subject. In a case where the difference between the size of the subject and the reference size has increased beyond a predetermined threshold value and the position of the zoom lens has reached a wide angle end or a telephoto end, the image pickup apparatus resets the reference size to be equal to the current size of the subject.

At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to an optical apparatus which includes an acquisition unit adapted to acquire position information of a lens, and a control unit adapted to control a position of the lens by an amount of rotation of an operating member and the position of the lens. The control unit initializes a corresponding relationship between the amount of rotation of the operating member and the position of the lens when the position control of the lens is started.

A focus adjustment apparatus comprises a moving unit configured to move a focusing lens, a focus adjusting unit configured to move the focusing lens such that the sharpness of an image obtained from an image pickup unit picking up an object image is increased, and an in-focus position measuring unit configured to measure an in-focus position in a different manner from the focus adjusting unit. The focus adjusting unit moves the focusing lens to the in-focus position measured by the in-focus position measuring unit when a direction of movement of the focusing lens in which the image sharpness is increased is matched with the direction of a current position of the focusing lens relative to the in-focus position measured by the in-focus position measuring unit, and does not move the focusing lens to the measured in-focus position when both the directions are not matched with each other.

The present invention discloses a position detecting apparatus that can adequately perform gain adjustment and offset adjustment and can suppress deterioration in position detection accuracy. The position detecting apparatus according to the present invention includes a position sensor outputting at least two phases of position detecting signals according to the movement of an object, and a signal adjusting unit performing the gain and offset adjustment of each position detecting signal by using adjustment data. In addition, the position detecting apparatus includes a counter that counts a wave number from a reference position, and a memory circuit that stores adjustment data corresponding to the wave number. Then, the signal adjusting unit adjusts gains and offsets of the position detecting signals on the basis of the adjustment data that corresponds to the counted wave number and is stored in the memory circuit.

An image pickup lens includes a controller and a manipulator position detector configured to detect a position of a manipulator configured to accept a manipulation used to move the lens. When the manipulation of the manipulator becomes valid and a difference between the position of the manipulator when the manipulation of the manipulator is invalid and the position of the manipulator when the manipulation of the manipulator is valid is equal or smaller than a threshold, the controller controls a movement of the lens from an initial position that is the position of the lens when the manipulation of the manipulator is invalid. When the manipulation of the manipulator becomes valid and the difference is larger than the threshold, the controller controls a movement of the lens from an initial position that is the position of the lens corresponding to the manipulator's position detected by the manipulator position detector.

An image-taking apparatus is disclosed which can achieve an appropriate AF control regardless of a zoom magnification. The image-taking apparatus has an image pickup element which photoelectrically converts an image of an object formed by an image-taking optical system including a focusing lens, and a signal processing circuit which produces an image signal based on an output signal from the image pickup element and has an electronic zoom function of electrically processing a part of the image signal to produce an enlarged output image. The image-taking apparatus also has a detection unit which detects a defocus amount between two image of the object, and a focus control circuit which controls a drive of the focusing lens in a first control method based on the output signal from the image pickup element and a second control method based on an output signal from the detection unit.
