Abstract:
A camera according to this invention includes a backlight judgment section which determines whether the photographic scene is against light by comparing the average luminance of the entire photographic screen obtained by photometry with the luminance of the main subject at a distance-measuring point selected by distance measurement. With the backlight judgment section, the camera performs suitable exposure control accompanied by illumination, such as supplementary light, at the time of exposure in a photographic scene where the main subject is against light.

Abstract:
Camera having a sensor for outputting subject image data to perform distance measuring or focusing of the camera, wherein in the event that a comparison is made between subject image data output from the sensor at predetermined intervals, and detection of blurring is performed based of the image offset from the subject image data, the usage range of the subject image data by sensor is made proper.
Abstract:
In a pair of photometric sensors which receive an object light flux through a pair of the light-receiving lenses are formed on a semiconductor chip on which a pair of the sensor arrays are formed. Further, one of a pair of the photometric sensor performs photometry at an upper part of the footage, and the other photometric sensor carries out photometry at a lower part of the footage.
Abstract:
To provide a distance-measuring sensor which does not impair the universality, suppresses the requirement of a large memory capacity for storage and an increase of data transmission time, a new distance-measuring sensor is provided. The sensor has an arithmetic part for calculating the intermediate data of a distance calculation, and an output part for outputting the intermediate data.

Abstract:
A camera according to the present invention comprises a sensor array wherein multiple pixels are arrayed in the base-length direction, a focusing unit for performing focusing of the camera based on the image output from the sensor array, a first detection unit for detecting the movement of the image signals in the base-length direction, a second detection unit for detecting the change in a predetermined pixel signal of the image signals over time, and a movement detection unit for performing movement detection based on the output from the first and second detection units.
Abstract:
A camera includes a movement detection unit which detects camera movement. A blurring detection unit reduces image deterioration due to camera movement based on an output from the movement detection unit. A notifying unit provides a notice of information regarding camera movement when the output of the movement detection unit exceeds a predetermined judgment value. A mode setting unit is used to set the blurring reduction unit in an operable or non-operable state.
