摘要:
A lens position detecting apparatus including an optical system which has a lens group that is movable in an optical axis direction, a lens moving mechanism for holding the lens group in a manner which permits the lens group to be movable in the optical axis direction, and a motor for driving the lens moving mechanism. The lens position detecting apparatus further includes a code reading mechanism which has a code plate with codes which represent the position of the lens group, and a code detecting member for detecting the bodes of the code plate, at least one of either the code plate or the detecting member being movable in association with the movement of the lens group. The lens position detecting apparatus also includes a counting mechanism for counting pulses corresponding to the amount of drive of the motor with reference to an initial value corresponding to a specific position of the lens group, a position detector for detecting the position of the lens group in accordance with the counted value counted by the counting mechanism, a reference value storing mechanism for storing reference values representing the positions of the lens group when the code detecting member detects switching points of the codes, and a correcting mechanism for correcting the counted value by comparing the counted value, counted by the counting mechanism, with the reference value, corresponding to the switching point of the codes, every time the code reading mechanism detects the switching point of the codes.

A motor driven lens includes a movable lens group and a lens moving mechanism which hold and move the movable lens group in an optical axis direction within a predetermined movable range. The motor driven lens further includes a motor for driving the lens moving mechanism to move the movable lens group. A counter counts the time in which a movement of the movable lens group is impeded during the operation of the motor, and a control device controls an operational speed of the motor and stops the operation of the motor for a predetermined period of time in which the movement of the movable lens group is impeded, depending on the operational speed of the motor.

A camera system that includes a taking lens having a motor drive mechanism and a control mechanism for controlling the motor drive mechanism, and a camera body to which the taking lens is detachably mounted. The camera system has a power supply that is provided in the camera body. Power supplying circuits provided in the camera body and the taking lens independently supply the motor drive mechanism and the control mechanism with electrical power. An abnormal power supply detecting device in the taking lens detects an abnormality in the supply of power to the motor drive mechanism, and a power cutting device in the camera body cuts the power supply to the motor drive mechanism when the abnormal power supply detecting device detects an abnormality in the power supply.
