摘要： 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.

摘要： A vibration compensation mode selection apparatus and associated visual display for a camera which allows a photographer to enable or disable a vibration compensation unit while receiving visual feedback regarding the operation state of the vibration compensation unit and information regarding the vibrations detected within the camera. A vibration detection unit is provided to output a signal indicating the amount and direction of vibrations experienced by the camera. A vibration compensation unit drives the vibration compensation lens perpendicular to the optical axis of a photographic lens system to correct for the vibrations detected by the vibration detection unit. A button is provided on the front face of the camera to enable the photographer to disable the vibration compensation unit by pressing the button. A display unit is provided to indicate to the photographer whether the vibration compensation system has been enabled or disabled. For example, the display unit can be configured to flash at a high frequency when the vibration compensation unit has been disabled. Further, the display unit can be configured to provide information regarding the severity of the vibrations detected within the camera. Specifically, the display unit can be configured to steadily illuminate to indicate vibrations which can be corrected by the vibration compensation system, and at a slow rate to indicate vibrations which are outside the correctable range of the vibration compensation unit. The display unit can either be provided within the viewfinder or on the body of the camera in a location easily visible by the photographer.

The camera includes a strobe and a strobe capacitor which delivers electric charge to the strobe. Wiring electrically connects the strobe to the strobe capacitor and generates electric noise when current is passing through the wiring, the effect of the electric noise being greater in the second direction then in the first direction and the distance from the second anti-vibration sensor to the wiring being longer than the distance from the first anti-vibration sensor to the wiring.

摘要： A motor speed control device, preferably for use in a camera, controls a motor to rotate at a constant speed in accordance with a pulsed signal output from a motor speed detector, such as a photointerrupter. To overcome the control problems that occur when the motor abnormally stops rotating, preventing generation of pulsed, the motor speed control device includes a timer that measures elapsed time from a most recent pulse. When the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value, the motor speed control device accelerates the motor so that control of the motor at a constant speed can continue.

摘要： A miniaturized collapsible zoom camera changes viewfinder magnification in accordance with a change in the photographic magnification. The camera is equipped with a collapsible cam tube to cause a first lens group, which rotates around the optical axis, to move from a collapsed position to a position just before a minimum magnification position. Likewise, a zoom cam tube causes the first lens group, which rotates around the optical axis, to move from the minimum magnification position to a maximum magnification position. Sector gears are formed on the outer circumference of the collapsible cam tube and the zoom cam tube. Furthermore, the camera is equipped with a cam tube drive gear which cooperates with the sector gears. A drive motor causes the drive gear to rotate. Another gear cooperates only with the sector gear of the zoom cam tube while a variable power and movement mechanism causes variable power operation in the viewfinder.

摘要： A vibration correction system for a camera using a correcting lens driven by a reduction gear train attached to a motor. Image deflection, originating from vibration and the like of the camera, is prevented by shifting the correcting lens. A movement detector, to detect the amount of movement of the correcting lens, is arranged near the drive shaft of the motor or near the first couple of gears of the reduction gear train. After the correcting lens has been driven, the connecting lens is reset to a predetermined standard position, based on the output of the movement detector. By placing the movement detector on or near the drive shaft, a high resolving power is obtained. Accordingly, the correcting lens can be shifted with fine precise movements, and accurate correction of image deflection becomes possible.
