摘要: An automatic focusing apparatus uses an image signal provided by a lens system of a camera for focusing the taking lens system. The apparatus includes: a lens system; a pickup element for converting the optical image of an object formed by the lens system into a corresponding electric signal; a signal processing circuit which processes the output signal of the pickup element to provide two focus signals corresponding to the respective quantities of horizontal and vertical high-frequency components of the object in an image plane; a lens driving mechanism for driving the lens system; and a control unit for controlling the lens driving mechanism according to the two focus signals to focus the lens system. Preferably, the apparatus further includes: a detector for detecting the condition of the object or the viewing conditions and a changeover circuit for changing over the characteristics of the signal processing circuit on the basis of the output of the detector. The additional use of information about the vertical direction enables the focusing of the lens system for any object including a horizontal line. Since the characteristics of the signal processing circuit are changed selectively according to the condition of the object or the viewing conditions, a stable and accurate focusing operation can be achieved regardless of the variation of the condition of the object.

摘要: According to the present invention, a narrow latitude caused by a narrow dynamic range of a solid state image pickup device is improved, and a video camera capable of obtaining a high quality video signal having no signal saturation and black collapse is realized. Scanning is executed in a plurality of times during normal one picture scanning period (one field or one frame period) prescribed in the broadcasting system, and the stop value of a stop mechanism of a camera lens is prescribed so that the levels of video signals corresponding to respective pictures become a fixed value, thus obtaining respective output signals with no saturation. These output signals are stored in a memory in each picture unit after A/D conversion. Then, a certain arithmetic processing is performed in synchronization with respective picture positions, and these video signals are outputted in synchronization with the vertical synchronizing timing prescribed in the broadcasting system as digital video signals having predetermined levels. These output digital video signals are restored again to the synchronizing frequency prescribed in the orginal broadcasting system thereafter. The digital video signals thus obtained have S/N improved to be better than the video signal which is outputted from the image pickup device. Accordingly, the dynamic range is also improved sufficiently.

摘要: A video camera with an automatic focusing device includes a pre-process unit for eliminating a direct current component from a signal of the video camera and controlling the obtained signal so that the amplitude thereof can be at a constant level, which is disposed at the preceding stage of a signal processing unit for operating the focusing condition of an object from the signal of the video camera. An amplitude of a video signal to be inputted to the signal processing unit can be largely suppressed, thus providing a largely simplified circuit structure of a signal processing unit.

摘要: A video camera has an automatic focusing system provided with a focus detecting section for calculating and outputting a focus signal corresponding to a focus condition of an picked-up image from a video signal produced by an image pickup element. Either the image pickup element or a focusing lens in a photographic lens is oscillated back and forth of its present position, as needed, to detect an in-focus direction at the moment. The focusing lens is moved in the in-focus direction up to a position at which an optimum focus condition is obtained.

摘要: A zoom lens driving apparatus always detects a position of an image magnification varying lens section, and drives the image magnification varying lens section in accordance with a preset relationship between the position of the image magnification varying lens section and a zoom driving speed in such a manner that the driving speed becomes higher on one side, where the focal length of the zoom lens corresponding to the position of the image magnification varying lens section is small, than on another side where the focal length is large. Accordingly, the amount of focal shift, which in the zoom lens of the inner focusing system would otherwise abruptly increase with increasing focal length, is significantly suppressed, so that an auto focus adjusting mechanism or a focus correcting device effective during zooming, provided in the zoom lens, can function satisfactorily as to follow the focal shift of the zoom lens, whereby the lens control of a superior response can always be achieved.

摘要: In an automatic focus adjustment apparatus with a light-emitting device comprising a condenser lens and a light-emitting element which radiates light onto an object and adjusts the focal point according to a light reflected back from the object, undesired flare is eliminated by placing a diaphragm sufficiently close to the light-emitting element so that only the effective light from the element passes to the condenser lens by using a cap, an opaque paint or a spatial filter, and/or by applying a low reflectance paint to the inner wall of an outer casing of the light-emitting device.

摘要: A semiconductor light position detector for a rangefinder which projects a light beam onto an object and receives a reflected light beam from the object to measure a distance to the object. A portion of the light-receiving surface of the detector on which the reflected beam will not form a light spot is partially covered with a member that blocks unwanted light. Thus, the malfunctions caused by the flare component of the light from the light projector and the malfunctions due to increases in the shot noise under a high illuminance are reduced greatly.

摘要: The amount of slant of an entire video camera in the vertical direction is detected by a slant detector by detecting a horizontal and vertical signal quantity or by a mechanical vertical direction detector and a memory controller reads out the video signal while controlling the address of the memory so as to correct the slant of the video signal stored in the memory depending on the slant amount, and since the memory is composed of two memory systems the slant may be always corrected for a real time in moving picture, thereby presenting a stable video output.
