Abstract:
A focal plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a leading shutter and a trailing shutter opening and closing the opening; first and second biasing members respectively biasing the leading shutter and the trailing shutter to move away from the opening; a first actuator causing the leading shutter to move from a position to close the opening to a position to recede from the opening while the leading shutter is assisted by a biasing force of the first biasing member in an exposure operation; and a second actuator causing the trailing shutter to move from a position to recede from the opening to a position to close the opening against a biasing force of the second biasing member in the exposure operation, wherein drive torque of the first actuator is smaller than that of the second actuator.
Abstract:
A focal plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a shutter opening and closing the opening; a drive source driving the shutter; a drive lever driven by the drive source; a drive arm connected to the drive lever and driving the shutter; a restriction portion defining a stop position of the drive lever; and a buffering member elastically deformable, wherein, when the drive lever drives, abuts the restriction portion, and stops, at least one of the drive arm and the shutter temporarily abuts the buffering member, is spaced from the buffering member, and stops.
Abstract:
A blade driving device includes: a board including an opening; first and second blades opening and closing the opening; first and second actuators arranged adjacent to each other and respectively driving the first and second blades, and respectively including first and second stators, first and second rotors, and first and second coils; a printed circuit board; and solder portions electrically connecting the first and second coils with the printed circuit board; wherein the solder portions includes: first and second solder portions respectively connecting one end and another end of the first coil with the printed circuit board; and third and fourth solder portions respectively connecting one end and another end of the second coil with the printed circuit board; and the first, second, third, and fourth solder portions face one another.
Abstract:
A focal plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a leading blade and a trailing blade opening and closing the opening; a trailing blade actuator driving the trailing blade; a drive member driving the trailing blade by receiving driving force of the trailing blade actuator; and a buffering member abutting with the drive member in a state where the trailing blade recedes away from the opening, wherein the trailing blade actuator causes the drive member to move away from the buffering member from an abutting state therewith and to abut therewith again in a charging operation, and then starts an exposure operation.

An imaging device includes: a focal plane shutter including: a board including an opening; a leading shutter and a trailing shutter opening and closing the opening; a leading shutter actuator and a trailing shutter actuator respectively driving the leading shutter and the trailing shutter; and a restrict portion that restricts reciprocating movement ranges of the leading shutter and the trailing shutter, an image pickup element which light enters through the opening; and a drive control portion.
Abstract:
A blade-driving device includes: a board including an opening; a blade opening and closing the opening; an arm driving the blade and made of a synthetic resin; a drive member driving the arm; and a reinforcement member formed with a laser welding mark indicating a mark formed by laser welding the reinforcement member and the arm together, and made of a synthetic resin.
Abstract:
A focal-plane shutter includes: a board including an opening; a blade opening and closing the opening; a rotor of an actuator for driving the blade; an output member rotated by the rotor and including a first gear portion; a drive member including a second gear portion meshing with the first gear portion, rotating about a predetermined axis, and driving the blade; and a positioning portion abutting with the drive member and defining an end of a rotational range of the drive member, wherein the first and second gear portions and the positioning portion overlap one another in a plane direction perpendicular to the axis.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus is provided, including a blade-driving device and a driving control unit which drives the front curtain actuator and the rear curtain actuator. The front curtain and the rear curtain are positioned at the open position at a time of start and termination of imaging, in which the front curtain moves from the closing position to the open position, and the rear curtain moves from the open position to the closing position, thereby performing an exposure operation. During consecutive photographing, the front curtain positioned at the closing position is moved once in a direction of the open position and is then returned to the closing position after the rear curtain is moved to the open position after termination of the exposure operation, and before a subsequent exposure operation is performed.
Abstract:
An imaging device includes: an image pickup element; a focal plane shutter including: a board including an opening exposing the image pickup element; a leading shutter and a trailing shutter movable between a closed position to close the opening and an opened position to open the opening; and a leading shutter actuator and a trailing shutter actuator respectively driving the leading shutter and the trailing shutter, a drive control portion that drives the leading shutter actuator and the trailing shutter actuator; and a control portion that controls the image pickup element.
Abstract:
An image pickup device includes: a focal plane shutter including: a board including an opening; a shutter moving to open and close the opening; an actuator moving the shutter; and a detection portion detecting that the shutter passes through a predetermined position, an image pickup element which light enters through the opening; and a drive control portion that controls the actuator to move the shutter, wherein the drive control portion performs movement control to move the shutter at least until the shutter passes through the predetermined position, and performs brake control to decelerate the shutter while the shutter is moving after the shutter passes through the predetermined position.
