It is possible to provide a user-friendly camera. Provided is an illumination device for emitting illumination light for photographing by a camera including: a light emission unit which can emit lights of a plurality of different colors and/or a plurality of different light emission amounts as the illumination light; and a light emission control unit which controls the light emission unit so as to continuously emit the illumination light while changing the color and/or the light emission amount as the time elapses, independently of photographing by the camera.

A drive mechanism for adjusting the spacing between first and second lens groups spaced apart from each other along the optical axis of a lens barrel of an optical device. The lens barrel is movable between a collapsed position inside the body of the optical device, a wide angle position and a telephoto angle position. The drive mechanism includes a member having a cam groove, and a guide member fit into the cam groove and connected to the second lens group for adjusting the spacing between the first and second lens groups. The guide member (a) moves in a first direction along the cam groove to adjust the spacing as the lens barrel is moved to the telephoto angle position, (b) moves in a second direction, opposite the first direction, along the cam groove to adjust the spacing as the lens barrel is moved from the telephoto angle position to the wide angle position, and (c) moves in the first direction along the cam groove to adjust the spacing as the lens barrel is moved from the wide angle position to the collapsed position.

A camera for photography with different angles of view has a finder unit with a conversion lens that retracts into a space produced when a strobe unit pops up, in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the strobe unit is elongated and a finder converter lens moves along a path perpendicular to the length of the strobe unit. In a further embodiment, if a focal length of a zoom lens, corresponding to a desired angle of view, is outside of a range of settable focal lengths, a trimming photographing mode is selected. A zoom finder motor is provided separately from a zoom lens motor. In another embodiment, forward rotation of a single motor drives a finder converting lens, and reverse rotation of the motor drives an illumination angle altering member of a strobe unit. Spot flash operation of the strobe unit may be selected.

A zoom lens barrel includes at least two lens groups, a linear movement guide tube for guiding a linear movement of the lens groups along the optical axis and a cam tube for reciprocating the lens groups along the optical axis. The guide tube has a guiding portion formed on a film side end portion of the guide tube and extends in parallel with a film surface.

A lens barrel standard position detection device, attached to a lens barrel equipped with a fixed tube having a first member and a movable tube rotationally moving back and forth along an optical axis of the lens barrel and having a second member engaging the first member of the fixed tube, to detect when the movable tube reaches a predetermined standard position. The lens barrel standard position detection device includes an actuating element movable between a first position and a second position, the actuating element moving to the second position when a working plane portion of the second member moves into contact with the actuating element corresponding to the movable tube reaching the predetermined standard position along the optical axis, an urging member which maintains the actuating element in the first position in a normal state due to an urging force of the urging member, and a detection unit which detects when the actuating element moves to the second position which opposes the urging force of the urging member, thereby detecting the movable tube reaching the predetermined standard position.

A camera having a film counter according to the present invention includes a display device which displays information related to frames of a film; a detector which detects that a battery has been replaced while the camera is loaded with the film; a volatile memory which stores information related to a number of remaining unexposed frames of the film; and a controller which causes the display device to display the number of remaining unexposed frames according to the information stored in the volatile memory until the battery is replaced, and switches the display device to display a frame number in a forward count display, in which a frame number increases for each exposure, in response to a signal generated by the detector upon replacement of the battery.
摘要:
A camera with a built-in flash unit, provided with a flash emitting portion, includes a red-eye reducing lamp positioned close to the flash emitting portion, and a Fresnel lens positioned in front of the flash emitting portion and the red-eye reducing lamp. Furthermore, the camera includes a protruding portion, which is positioned close to the flash emitting portion and the red-eye reducing lamp and is adapted to be contacted by the finger of the camera-holding hand. Owing to such contact, the photographer is warned as to the improper positioning of his finger, so that the flash emitting portion and the red-eye reducing lamp can be protected from being carelessly covered during the phototaking operation.
