摘要:
A vibration wave driven apparatus includes a vibrator configured to generate vibration, a rotor configured to be in frictional contact with the vibrator and to rotate about an axis of rotation, and a transmitting member configured to rotate about the axis and to transmit rotation of the rotor to an external component. A part of the transmitting member forms a worm portion of a worm gear.

摘要:
An optical device which makes it possible to reduce time for extending lens units while avoiding collision between lens units during a lens units-extending operation. A first-group barrel is driven by a DC motor. A second-group barrel provided rearward of the first-group barrel on the optical axis is driven by a stepping motor. Photointerrupters detect an intermediate position of the first-group barrel between its retracted position and its shooting position located forward of the retracted position. A control unit controls the DC motor and the stepping motor such that extension of the first-group barrel forward from the retracted position is started, and after the intermediate position is detected by the photointerrupters, extension of the second-group barrel is started.

A lens driving device which can stably support a lead screw, and furthermore, can reduce driving load while maintaining a centering function for stabilizing a lens stop position. The lens driving device comprises a lens for holding member holding a photographic lens, a lead screw for moving the lens holding member forward and backward in a photographic optical axis direction, and a first support member and a second support member for rotationally supporting the lead screw. The second support member has a support concave portion having an apex for supporting the lead screw, and the lead screw has a support portion that is in point contact with the support concave portion having the apex.

Provided is a focus lens control apparatus, including: an evaluation signal acquisition unit for acquiring an evaluation signal indicating an in-focus condition from a high frequency component of an acquired image by causing an actuator to drive a focus lens; a detection unit for detecting a driving condition of the actuator; and a drive control unit for performing driving of the focus lens based on the evaluation signal and, after calculating an in-focus position from the evaluation signal, performing the driving of the focus lens under closed-loop control based on an output from the detection unit.

摘要:
A linkage mechanism between a zoom strobe device and a zoom finder device, which contributes to reduced size of a camera, and can control the illumination range of the zoom strobe device and the magnification of a finder optical system of the zoom finder device. A cam plate is disposed linearly movably in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis of a zoom lens barrel unit. The linear motion of the cam plate changes the magnification of the zoom finder optical system and the range of illumination with strobe light. A linkage member is disposed movable along the optical axis. The linkage member has an engaging portion for being engaged with a cam groove formed in the outer periphery of a drive ring, and moves along the optical axis as the engaging portion moves following the cam groove along with rotation of the drive ring, thereby causing the cam plate to move linearly along the optical axis.
摘要:
A retractable lens barrel that improves shock resistance without obstructing miniaturization. In the retractable lens barrel, pins formed in the lens barrel are engaged with grooves formed in a cam ring, and the lens barrel is caused to move in a direction of an optical axis by rotation of the cam ring. The pins include a cam pin for moving the lens barrel, and a slip-off preventive pin for preventing the cam pin from slipping off the groove. The grooves include a cam groove with which the cam pin is engaged, and a slip-off preventive groove with which the slip-off preventive pin is engaged. In an area close to a retracted position of the lens barrel, the cam groove and the slip-off preventive groove overlap to be shared grooves with which the cam pin and the slip-off preventive pin are engaged.
