The multi-operation button 26 is used for operations such as zooming of the imaging lens 3 (digital zoom) and operations in various photographing modes in combination with the mode switching dial 30 and operations such as frame selection during reproduction and printing. . When the print start button 28 is pressed, printing of the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 27 is started.

The mode switching dial 30 is provided with indices 30a to 30c corresponding to switching operations of imaging, reproduction and power supply. These indices 30a to 30c indicate respective modes of power-off, photographing, and reproduction (including printing), and are switched to the respective modes when matched with an instruction mark 31 provided on the upper surface of the main body 2. Further, a slot 36 in which a memory card 35 such as SmartMedia (registered trademark) is detachably mounted is formed on a side surface of the camera body 2.

The instant film 18 is of a well-known mono-sheet type. While the exposed instant film 18 is being conveyed by a pair of developing rollers 37 (see FIG. 4) provided at the back of the discharge port 16, the developer pod 18a provided at the tip of the instant film 18 is broken. After opening, the developing solution is developed, and a positive image is obtained on the instant film 18 after a lapse of about one minute to several minutes.

Such an instant film 18 is
It is provided in a film pack 38 (see FIG. 4). In the film pack 38, for example, ten instant films 18 are stacked and stored. The camera body 2 is provided with a pack loading chamber (not shown) in which the film pack 38 is loaded.

Referring to FIG. 4, which shows a printer section 15 for exposing the instant film 18 and sending it to the discharge port 16, the printer section 15 includes an exposure head 43, a head moving mechanism 44, and the instant film 18 for the discharge port 16.
It is composed of a developing roller 37 and a claw member 45 for discharging the sheet from the roller (see FIG. 1). The exposure head 43 is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is along the main scanning direction orthogonal to the discharge direction of the instant film 18 (the direction of the arrow in the figure). Shafts 43a are provided at both ends of the exposure head 43,
43b is provided, and is inserted into long holes 46a and 46b which are long and provided in parallel with the discharge direction of the instant film 18. Thus, the exposure head 43 is movable in the sub-scanning direction parallel to the discharge direction of the instant film 18.

The head moving mechanism 44 includes, for example, a scanning motor 47, a lead screw 48 rotated by the scanning motor 47, and a moving member that moves in the axial direction (sub-scanning direction) of the lead screw 48 by the rotation of the lead screw 48. 49 etc., and one shaft 43 of the exposure head 43
a is fixed to the moving member 49. Thus, when the scanning motor 47 rotates, the exposure head 43 is moved in the sub-scanning direction.

The scanning motor 47 is a stepping motor rotatable in both forward and reverse directions. When rotated in the forward direction, the exposure head 43 moves from the recording start position on the developing roller 37 side indicated by a solid line in FIG. It is moved in the scanning direction and moves to a recording end position indicated by a two-dot chain line. During one movement of the exposure head 43 in the sub-scanning direction, one color image is exposed one line at a time on the photosensitive sheet of the instant film 18, and the three movements expose the color image in three color planes sequentially. . When exposing the image of the next color after the exposure of the first color is completed, the image of this color is exposed while the exposure head 43 is moving from the recording end position to the recording start position. By doing so, the printing time can be reduced.

The developing roller 37 is rotated in a direction for sending the instant film 18 from the discharge port 16 to the outside in different directions after the exposure of the three colors. After the exposure of the three colors, the claw member 45 enters the film pack 38 through the notch 38a provided at the rear end of the film pack 38, and pushes the exposed instant film 18 out of the film pack 38. As a result, the exposed instant film 18 is sent to the rotating developing roller 37, and is discharged from the discharge port 16 by the rotation of the developing roller 37. When the instant film 18 passes through the developing roller 37, the developing solution pod 18a (see FIG. 1) is ruptured, the developing solution is developed inside, and the developing process is completed when the developing solution is discharged.

The discharging mechanism is constituted by the developing roller 37, the claw member 45, and the like. The discharging mechanism is configured by a conventional instant camera as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-194832. And the functions thereof are completely the same.

In FIG. 5 showing the electrical configuration of the camera with a printer, the camera with a printer 1 is roughly divided into a camera section 81 and a printer section 15, which are controlled by a system controller 85.

The camera section 81 is mainly composed of members necessary for capturing a subject image by an image sensor. The CCD image sensor 86 is located behind the imaging lens 3, and when the imaging lens 3 is focused,
A subject image is formed on the photoelectric surface of the D image sensor 86. By driving the CCD driver 87, the CCD image sensor 86 converts an optical subject image into an electric image signal and outputs it.

Micro color filters of R, G, and B are arranged in a matrix on the photoelectric surface of the CCD image sensor 86, and an image signal output serially for each color is amplified by an amplifier 88 to an appropriate level. A / D after
The digital conversion is performed by the converter 89. As is well known, the driving of the CCD driver 87 and the sampling timing of the A / D converter 89 are synchronized.

The A / D converter 89 converts the imaging signal into digital data to generate image data, which is sequentially input to the image data processing circuit 90. Image data processing circuit 90
Performs signal processing such as matrix calculation, white balance adjustment, and gamma correction on input image data. The image data processing circuit 90 generates a video signal corresponding to an NTSC composite signal based on the processed image data, and converts the video signal into a D / A converter 9.
1, through an amplifier 92, to an output terminal 93 for a video signal.

Therefore, if a home television is connected to the output terminal 93, a continuous image picked up by the CCD image sensor 86 can be observed. The video signal from the amplifier 92 is also input to the liquid crystal display driver 94. Since the liquid crystal display driver 94 drives the liquid crystal panel 25, the subject image is continuously displayed on the liquid crystal panel 25, and the liquid crystal panel 25 is used as an electronic viewfinder.

The system controller 85, including the image data processing circuit 90, generally manages the electrical operation of the camera with a printer. The system controller 85 exchanges data with the EEPROM 96 and the built-in memory 97. In the EEPROM 96, in addition to various sequence programs, various correction data and control data are written. The built-in memory 97 stores one screen of image data obtained from the image data processing circuit 90 when an image is captured by operating the shutter button 9, and has a storage capacity capable of storing, for example, 50 screens of image data. Have.

Further, the system controller 85 controls the I / O
Multi operation button 2 via O port 100
6, monitor signals from the mode switching dial 30, the shutter button 9, the tray sensor 24, the print start button 28, the print number setting key 29, etc., perform signal processing according to the input signal, and
5 is written and read. Memory card 35
Stores image data obtained from the image data processing circuit 90 for each screen, and has, for example, a storage capacity capable of storing image data for 50 screens.

When the writing capacity of the memory card 35 is insufficient or when the memory card 35 is not inserted in the slot 36, the built-in memory 97 can store the image data of the captured subject image. When a memory card 35 having a write capacity is mounted in the slot 36, the memory card 35 or the built-in memory 97
Which of the two stores the image data of the subject image depends on
The selection can be made by operating the multi-operation button 26.

The printer unit 15 includes the above-described exposure head 43,
In addition to the scanning motor 47, the liquid crystal panel 27, the D / A converter 102, the amplifier 103, the liquid crystal display driver 10
4, a line memory 105, a head driver 106, a motor driver 107, a developing motor 108, and the like.

When the system controller 85 reads out image data from the memory card 35 or the built-in memory 97 and sends it to the image data processing circuit 90, the image data processing circuit 90 converts the inputted image data into an NTSC composite signal. A corresponding video signal is generated,
The signal is output to the liquid crystal display driver 104 via the / A converter 102 and the amplifier 103. The liquid crystal display driver 104 drives the liquid crystal panel 27 and displays an image based on the image data on the liquid crystal panel 27.

The operation of the thus-configured camera with printer 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Indices 30b and 3 of the indices attached to the mode switching dial 30 excluding the index 30a indicating that the power is off.
When any one of 0c is set to the instruction mark 31, the power is turned on. Next, mode confirmation is performed, and the photographing mode or the reproduction mode is recognized based on the position indicated by the mode switching dial 30.

In the photographing mode, the tray 20 is not set, and the outlet 16 is almost light-tightly protected by the plate members 11 to 14. As a result, it is possible to prevent the external light from entering the discharge port 16 to cover the instant film 18 in the film pack 38 and prevent dust from entering.

The user holds the grip unit 8 with his right hand and turns the imaging lens 3 toward the subject. The CCD image sensor 86 continuously captures a subject image, and the image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 25 functioning as an electronic viewfinder. When the framing is performed and the shutter button 9 is pressed down, the image data of the subject image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 25 at that time is written to the memory card 35. By repeating use in the imaging mode, the memory card 35 can store image data on still images for up to 50 screens. When the memory card 35 is not inserted in the slot 36, the image data is stored in the internal memory 97.

In the reproduction mode, if any image data is selected from the memory card 35 by the input from the multi-operation button 26, the image data is processed by the image data processing circuit 90, the D / A converter 102, and the amplifier 103. Is supplied to the liquid crystal display driver 104 through the above-mentioned steps, and is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 27. In this reproduction mode, the liquid crystal panel 25 is not displayed for energy saving.

While the image to be printed is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 27, the desired number of prints is set by operating the print number setting key 29. The camera 1 with print is placed on a desk or the like with the imaging lens 3 facing up, and the lock lever 2
2 is moved against the bias of the spring, and the plate member 14 is lifted upward in a state where the locking of the locking claw 14a is released. Then, when the side wall 10 is rotated as it is so as to follow the surface of the desk or the like, the plate-like members 11 to 14 are unfolded and become the tray 20. At this time, the plate members 11 to 11
13 is flattened, but only the end plate-like member 14 is set in a state of being slightly lifted at an angle with the plate-like member 13. Thus, the plate member 14 functions as a stopper for the discharged instant film 18.

When the tray 20 is set, the tray sensor 24 detects this and notifies the system controller 85. Next, when the print start button 28 is pressed, the system controller 85 accesses the memory card 35 and, among the image data of the image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 27 at that time, further red color in the first one line. The image data of the portion corresponding to
This is transferred to the line memory 105.

The exposure head 43 is at an initial position facing the lowermost end of the instant film 18 shown in FIG.
This position is the recording position for the first line.
When the system controller 85 confirms that the exposure head 43 is at the first recording position by a photo sensor or the like (not shown), one line of image data stored in the line memory 105 is sequentially transmitted to the exposure head 43. Then, red light is given to the instant film 18 by the R print light.

When the exposure using the R print light for one line is completed, the scanning motor 47 rotates by a predetermined angle to move the exposure head 43 to the next line position. Subsequently, image data corresponding to the red density of the second line is transferred from the memory card 35 to the line memory 105, and exposure with the R print light of the second line is performed in the same manner. Continued
Exposure with the R print light is performed for each line while the exposure head 43 is stepped to the developing roller 37 side, and the exposure with the R print light ends when the printing of the last line is completed.

Next, the system controller 85 accesses the memory card 35 and sequentially reads out the image data corresponding to the green color in the last line from among the image data relating to the image to be printed, and Transfer to

Thereafter, similarly, exposure with G print light is performed from the last line position to the first one line position. After the exposure with the G print light is completed, image data corresponding to blue is read from the memory card 35 line by line, and exposure with the B print light is performed in the same manner. When the exposure with the R, G, and B print light is completed, the exposure head 43 moves to the retracted position closer to the developing roller 37 than the initial position, as shown in FIG.

After the exposure head 43 moves to the retracted position,
The expansion motor 108 starts to be driven by a signal from the system controller 85. The claw member 45 penetrates through the notch 38a of the film pack 38 and scrapes the exposed instant film 18 from the film pack 38. At this time, the exposure head 43 has moved to the retracted position, and does not hinder the movement of the claw member 45.

The upper end of the instant film 18 pushed out by the claw member 45 enters between the pair of developing rollers 37, and thereafter, the instant film 18 is transported by the rotation of the developing roller 37, and at the same time, the developer pod 18a
Is broken and the developing solution is developed. Claw member 45
Moves to the end of the movement stroke, returns to the original position and stops. When the claw member 45 returns to the original position, the scanning motor 47 is driven, and the exposure head 43 returns to the initial position.

The instant film 18 discharged from the discharge port 16 falls onto the tray 20. When a plurality of print sheets are designated, the instant films 18 discharged from the discharge port 16 are sequentially placed in the tray 20.
Take on top and hold. This eliminates the hassle of waiting for the instant film 18 to be discharged from the discharge port 16 and picking it up by hand. There is no need to worry about contamination with dirt.

When one to several minutes have elapsed after the instant film 18 has been discharged from the discharge port 16, the subject image is fixed on the image receiving sheet as a positive image, and a hard copy of the subject image displayed on the liquid crystal panel 27 is obtained. .

When the set number of prints is one (the default case), it is not always necessary to place the camera 1 with a print on a desk or the like. What is necessary is just to hold it with the hand (for example, left hand) which is not holding.

Next, in FIG. 7 showing another embodiment,
In the camera with printer 111, by pulling out a part of the side wall of the camera body 112 on the side opposite to the grip part 113, a tray 115 having a part of the side wall serving as a stopper 115 a appears, and the printer unit 15 is discharged. The outlet 16 is exposed. Flat tray body 115b
Is slidably provided between the rear side wall of the camera body 112 and the printer unit 15.

In the embodiment described above, the outlets of the instant film are all within the outline of the camera body and are covered and hidden by the tray at the storage position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, a slit-shaped outlet may be provided on a side surface of the camera body, and a drawer that can be pulled out may be provided adjacent to the outlet. In this case, it is not necessary to pull out the tray when printing one sheet at a time, and the print can be discharged in the same manner as a conventional camera with a printer. When performing continuous printing, the camera is placed on a desk or the like and the tray is pulled out, whereby the exposed instant films continuously discharged from the discharge port are sequentially received and held by the tray.

In the above embodiment, an optical printer using an instant film as a recording medium for obtaining a hard copy is used. However, the present invention relates to a thermal color recording system, a sublimation type thermal transfer recording system, a fusion type thermal transfer recording system. Various types of printers, such as various types of thermal printers and inkjet printers, can be used.

[0054]

As described above, according to the electronic still camera with the printer of the present invention, the tray for receiving and holding the recording medium discharged from the discharge port is incorporated so as to be freely housed within the outline of the camera body. So, if you do not use the tray, the tray will not interfere at all,
If the tray is set, the recording medium discharged from the discharge port can be continuously discharged without any troublesome work of waiting and picking up the recording medium by hand, and in a state where the recording medium is not soiled and arranged. As a result, it is particularly convenient when a large number of people, such as a group photograph, must be continuously printed. Also, since it is not necessary to receive the discharged instant film by hand, precautions to be taken until the image of the instant film becomes stable, such as shaking, bending,
There is also an advantage that there is no risk of performing actions such as holding down or rubbing.

The tray is composed of a plurality of plate members adjacent to each other and rotatably connected to each other. When the tray is expanded, the tray becomes a substantially flat rectangular tray. It becomes a grip part and it is deformed between the folded state that covers and covers the discharge port, so in the folded state, the discharge port can be protected and external light and dust can be prevented from entering from the discharge port, The grip portion can contribute to stable holding of the camera, and in the unfolded state, the discharged recording medium can be received and held in an organized state without becoming dirty.

The tray is moved between a drawer position where the tray is pulled out from the camera body to become a tray with a stopper and a storage position where the tray is pushed back toward the camera body to cover and cover the discharge port. Therefore, despite the simple configuration, the storage position protects the discharge port to prevent outside light and dust from entering from the discharge port, and the drawer position organizes the discharged recording medium without contaminating it. It can be received and held in a state.
Further, if the recording medium is a self-developing type instant film, an image is recorded by exposure, so that the printing time can be shortened as compared with, for example, a thermal printer.
