Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the camera with integrated compact VTR having high operability in VTR reproduction by making a first device equipped with a camera part and a second device equipped with a deck part movable and forming a part to be revealed or hidden as the face of arranging VTR operation switches. CONSTITUTION:By turning or sliding a first device 1 equipped with a camera part 4 to a second device 2, the part to be revealed or hidden by the second device 2 is newly secured and this part is formed as a face 24 for arranging the VTR operation switches. Further, since this arranging face 24 is revealed or hidden, the VTR operation switches are revealed in a first use state (VTR reproduction). Thus, the camera with integrated compact VTR can be obtained with high operability in VTR reproduction.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a VTR (video tape recorder) integrated camera, and in particular, a compact camera with excellent operability in which a deck part and a camera part are arranged side by side. This invention relates to a portable VTR-integrated camera.

[Conventional technology]

A VTR-integrated camera has a camera function for photographing a subject and a video tape recorder (VTR) function for playing back the photographed images.

These two types of operation systems are unrelated in terms of operation, and when the camera function operation switch is used, the VTR operation switch is not required, and vice versa. In addition, since the camera function is often used outdoors, the operation switch, especially for VTRs that are not used during the camera function,
It is necessary to have a dust-proof and drip-proof structure, including the operation switch.

Regarding these two types of operation systems for VTRs and body-type cameras, many proposals have been made for the purpose of preventing erroneous operation and for dust-proofing and drip-proofing the camera function.

For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications No. 63-], 69], and 8'7-, operation switches for the camera function and VTR function are arranged on the top surface of the main body, and the camera/VTR function switch is arranged on the top surface of the main body.
There is a device that doubles as the R changeover switch and is provided with a cover that hides either one of the operation switches. Also, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-193773,
The camera lens section and ■'rR operation switch are placed close to each other, and it also serves as a camera/VTR selection switch, and one of the lens section and the V'll''R operation switch is hidden. Some come with a lens cover.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The VTR integrated camera is easy to operate when shooting,
When traveling, it is best to have something that is easy to store and carry.

In particular, when moving, it is desirable that the device be as small and compact as possible. In recent years, with these demands,
V'I'R integrated cameras are becoming lighter and smaller.

A major problem here is the arrangement of the operation switches for the camera function and VTR function.

The VTR-type camera (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1691.87/1987), which uses a large full-cassette tape, has a large area for the operation switch, which prevents erroneous operation and is dust-proof and drip-proof. It is possible to arrange an effective operation switch on the top surface of the main body, which provides good operability even when operating a VTR, as in the conventional example. However, a small VTR-integrated camera using small tape (mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 6
3-193773), the absolute amount of surface area is smaller than that of the VTR-integrated camera using the large tape. area, tape insertion slot, etc., to prevent misoperation and prevent dust.
It has not been possible to secure a placement surface for a VTR operation switch that has a drip-proof effect and is excellent in operability during VTR playback. For example, in the compact VTR-integrated camera disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-193773, the V]"R operation switch is arranged on a vertical plane, and the keys are arranged closely together, so that playback is difficult. There was a problem with the operability of the time.

The purpose of the present invention was to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to secure a mounting surface for the \7 TR operation switch in an FR integrated camera using a small tape, and to prevent erroneous operation and to prevent dust. , drip-proof, and compatible with VTR
An object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized V'''R body-shaped camera that has excellent operability during playback.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a VTR integrated camera that includes a deck section, a camera section, a viewfinder section, and a battery section, and in which the deck section and the camera section are arranged side by side. A first device with a deck portion and a second device with a deck portion are movably connected to each other, and in the first usage state, the 1゛R operation switch is exposed, and the second
This problem can be solved by hiding the operation switch in the usage state of ■"]?R.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, by rotating or sliding the first device including at least the camera section or the viewfinder section with respect to the second device, the camera section or the viewfinder section can be hidden or exposed to the second device. Since a new section can be secured for the VTR operation switch, this section can be used as a surface for arranging the VTR operation switch. Furthermore, since the placement surface is exposed or hidden, the VT
The R operation switch is exposed, providing excellent operability, and in the second usage state (when shooting, storing, or moving the camera), the V 1" R operation switch is hidden, preventing erroneous operation and preventing dust. , it can have a drip-proof structure, and can have a compact form with few protrusions.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the VTR-body camera according to the present invention, the first device including at least the camera section or the viewfinder section and the second device including the deck section are movable (rotating or sliding). By doing so, the exposed or hidden portion can be used as the surface on which the VTR operation switch is placed.

Furthermore, in the first usage state (during VTR playback), the VTR operation switch is placed in the exposed part, so it can be distinguished from the camera operation switch, and it can be placed with ample space to improve operability during V'TR playback. can be made good. In addition, in the second usage state (camera shooting, moving, and storage), the VTR operation switch that is not required in the same state can be hidden, so the
There is no erroneous operation of the TR operation switch, it is dust-proof and drip-proof, and it has a compact design with few protrusions, making it easy to store. As described above, the effects of the present invention are remarkable.
