And the field range of the image of being obtained by camera in normal circumstances, is to determine according to the sensitive surface size of the angle of visual field of the applied camera lens of camera (angle of visibility) and imaging apparatus etc.Therefore, the applied imaging apparatus size of camera 1 and the angle of view and the applied imaging apparatus size of accessory device 30 and the angle of view are configured to the image that both can obtain respectively and are at least roughly the same scope, and the field range that preferably sets into the image of being obtained by the camera section 35 of accessory device 30 is greater than the field range of the image of being obtained by camera 1.In addition, in certain several execution mode of the present invention, also can not possess this camera section 35.
And then, switching part 36 grades (referring to Fig. 4) that accessory device 30 has specification signal control part 30g and carries out the switching of holding wire.
Specification signal control part 30g is the signal generating according to the specification signal generating unit 11b of the signal processing/control part 11 by camera body 10, controls the circuit part of above-mentioned switching part 36.
As shown in Figure 4, a plurality of switches (SW1~SW5) of switching part 36 in the various holding wires in being arranged at accessory device 30 (video signal cable, control signal wire etc.) form.These a plurality of switches (SW1~SW5) are carried out switch by above-mentioned specification signal control part 30g to be controlled, and reliably prearranged signal is passed to predetermined structural portion.
Use Fig. 5~Figure 14 that the effect of the present embodiment of above-mentioned formation is described as follows.First, the state that camera 1 is connected in camera body 10 and phtographic lens unit 20.
Under this state, when the state of camera 1 in working, while being power connection state, in the step S101 of Fig. 5, signal processing/control part 11 is controlled image pickup part 2, the 1st display part 8 etc., and by lens unit Department of Communication Force 14, carry out the control of phtographic lens unit 20, carry out the image Graphics Processing that shows the image based on by the obtained picture signal of image pickup part 2 in the display frame of the 1st display part 8.After this enter the processing of step S102.
In step S102, the signal that signal processing/control part 11 monitors from annex Department of Communication Force 12, confirms the input signal to portion of terminal 10b, thereby be confirmed whether to be provided with accessory device 30 on camera 1.Now, if confirmed to be provided with accessory device 30, the processing that enters next step S103.If accessory device 30 is not installed and confirm, enter the processing of step S108.In this case, in processing after this, carry out the common photography action of only using camera 1 to carry out.
In addition, now confirm that user is to the operation of camera (comprising annex and lens unit), switch the classification that image is processed.Therefore, the control part 11 of camera, by the Department of Communication Force 32 in annex Department of Communication Force 12 and annex, is obtained accessory information from 33.
And, at accessory device 30, being installed under the state on camera 1, accessory device 30 is the state in working also.That is under this state, between camera 1 and accessory device 30, be electrically connected to, as mentioned above, because camera 1 is in power connection state, thereby by portion of terminal 10b, connecting portion 30b, to accessory device 30, provide electric power from camera body 10.Thus when accessory device 30 is installed on camera 1, the operating state of itself and camera 1 links.
In addition, if in the situation with the accessory device of camera, when accessory device 30 is in can operating state time, will for example carry out the action (not recording) that obtains image by camera section 35.
In step S103, between signal processing/control part 11 and accessory device 30, communicate, carry out the processing that obtains of particular image process information.Certainly, particular image process information also can be recorded in recording unit in camera (4 etc.).Wherein, signal processing/the control part 11 of camera 1 is for example controlled annex Department of Communication Force 12, via communicating between portion of terminal 10b, connecting portion 30b and the camera Department of Communication Force 32 of accessory device 30, obtain the feature that comprises this accessory device 30 in pre-recorded various information in facility information storage part 33 interior intrinsic facility information with this, particular image of carrying out is processed to the relevant various information such as impose a condition, their placeholder record in internal storage.Particularly, record low-pass filter coefficients, edge degree of emphasizing, colour matrix coefficient etc.After this enter the processing of step S104.Which in these information to carry out that image processes with is to determine according to the operation of camera.That is to say, confirm that user is to the operation of camera (comprising annex and lens unit) herein, switch the degree that image is processed.
In step S104, signal processing/control part 11 is carried out that particular image are processed and the demonstration that this result is shown in display part (EVF) is controlled is processed (in Fig. 5, Fig. 6 referred to as " particular image processing/result EVF demonstration ".This demonstration shows by image processing part 11c based on according to phtographic lens, annex kind, user's operation and definite program and setting parameter and to implemented the result after particular image is processed from the vision signal of image pickup part 2.Below use this abbreviation).After this enter the processing of step S105.
Wherein, the details of " particular image processing/result EVF demonstration " as shown in Figure 6.That is,, in the step S201 of Fig. 6, signal processing/control part 11, by communicating between annex Department of Communication Force 12, camera Department of Communication Force 32 and accessory device 30, receives the image (vision signal) of obtaining by camera section 35.Should be the vision signals that formed by a plurality of still images that receive continuously according to time series from the vision signal of camera section 35.
At this time point, signal processing/control part 11 is also transfused to the vision signal having from the image pickup part 2 of camera body 10 sides.Therefore, from the vision signal of image pickup part 2, by image processing part 11c, be implemented for user and observed after image that the image browsing of photography scene uses processes, be output to the 1st display part 8 and show.For the effect that the particular image that can confirm to show by EVF is processed, show and do not implement the image that particular image is processed.
And, the state of switching part 36 when Fig. 7 illustrates the processing of carrying out above-mentioned steps S201.
First, when having carried out the processing of above-mentioned steps S201, signal processing/control part 11, by communicating between annex Department of Communication Force 12, camera Department of Communication Force 32 and accessory device 30, sends to camera Department of Communication Force 32 the control index signal that requires to forward the image (vision signal) of obtaining by camera section 35.This control index signal comprises the predetermined index signal generating in specification signal generating unit 11b according to the particular image process information of obtaining by above-mentioned steps S103 (Fig. 6).
This index signal is sent to specification signal control part 30g by index signal line through camera Department of Communication Force 32.Specification signal generating unit 11b receives this signal, controls the connection disconnection control that switching part 36 carries out a plurality of switches.Wherein, Fig. 7 illustrates the connection off-state (SW1, SW2 are on-state, and other are off-state) of each switch.Thus, use from the extended holding wire outputting video signal of camera section 35, become the state of input/output control signal.Therefore, from the vision signal of camera section 35 outputs, the processing of step S201, be forwarded to camera body 10 sides.
Then, in step S202, the particular image process informations that the image processing part 11c basis of signal processing/control part 11 obtains in the processing of above-mentioned steps S103 (Fig. 5) etc., carry out predetermined particular image processing to the vision signal of camera section 35 with from the vision signal of image pickup part 2.
Next, in step S203, signal processing/control part 11, by communicating between annex Department of Communication Force 12, camera Department of Communication Force 32 and accessory device 30, is carried out the processing that the image of obtaining according to the result of above-mentioned steps S202 (vision signal) is forwarded to accessory device 30 (EVF) side.After this, finish a series of processing, return to the processing sequence of Fig. 5.Thus, be difficult to receive under the state of outer influence of light, user can correctly observe the result that image is processed.Particular image pack processing as reality photography result contains delicate color correction and contrast variation etc., therefore preferably can exclude the observation of outer light.Herein, distinguish over merely for confirming the image processing of photographic picture, the image processing that makes image possess effect the adjusting by user preferences for ease of understanding is called particular image and processes, yet in the situation that being operated to regulate by user, the color sensation variation of emphasizing and comprising white balance of contrast etc. also belongs to particular image and processes.
And, the state of switching part 36 when Fig. 8 illustrates the processing of carrying out above-mentioned steps S203.
First, while having carried out the processing of above-mentioned steps S203, signal processing/control part 11, by communicating between annex Department of Communication Force 12, camera Department of Communication Force 32 and accessory device 30, sends the control index signal of the image (vision signal) of announcing that forwarding particular image is disposed to camera Department of Communication Force 32.In this control index signal, comprise the predetermined index signal generating according to the particular image process information of obtaining in specification signal generating unit 11b in above-mentioned steps S103 (Fig. 6).
This index signal is sent to specification signal control part 30g by index signal line via camera Department of Communication Force 32.Specification signal generating unit 11b receives this signal, controls the connection disconnection control that switching part 36 carries out a plurality of switches.Wherein, Fig. 8 illustrates the connection off-state of each switch (SW3, SW4 is in on-state.Other are off-state).Thus, use from the extended holding wire incoming video signal of the 2nd display part 31, become the state of input/output control signal.Therefore, the vision signal that has been implemented particular image processing in step S203 is sent to accessory device 30 sides, uses the 2nd display part 31 to show.
Yet in the camera 1 of present embodiment, if adopt the structure (referring to Fig. 9, Figure 10) of the demonstration (particular image be disposed image) of the demonstration (image conventionally) of the 1st display part 8 of user's visualization simultaneously camera body 10 and the 2nd display part 31 of accessory device 30, when the demonstration of the 2nd display part 31 of user's 100 visualization accessory devices 30 (particular image be disposed image), become and easily clamp as shown in Figure 9 the posture that arm carrys out the lens unit of operate camera.Situation when in addition, Figure 10 illustrates the demonstration (conventionally image) of the 1st display part 8 of user's 100 visualization camera bodies 10.Now owing to not clamping arm, thereby the fluctuation of service of camera, be easy to produce hand and tremble etc.That is to say, can also prevent that hand from trembling, and can exclude the correct observation of outer influence of light while observe camera operation that EVF carries out, is the state that is suitable for confirming the effect of the variation that image that operation brings is processed.
As above, according to the operation that is arranged at the functional unit of camera lens part, the content that Department of Communication Force 22 and 14 communicates changes, if control part 11 has changed the effect that image is processed, can really eliminate hand and tremble, can confirm the result (result that image is processed) of the operation carried out when observing the variation of subject image.Even if the 1st display part is touch panel, when confirming the 2nd display part, be difficult to operate, yet by such design, user can focus on attentiveness to observe in subject.
Return to Fig. 5, in step S105, in the image that signal processing/control part 11 is carried out on being shown in the 1st display part 8, the image of overlapping demonstration " EVF is used recommendation message " and " focus index " is processed.These superimposed images are processed and are used image processing part 11c to carry out.By as above giving a warning like this, can make user learn by EVF and observe the situation that can correctly confirm photographs.
Wherein, Figure 11 A, Figure 12 A express two examples that are easy to illustrate remarkable result in the display case of demonstration (particular image be disposed image) of the 2nd display part 31 of accessory device 30.In addition, Figure 11 B, Figure 12 B express two examples of display case of the demonstration (conventionally image) of the 1st display part 8 of camera body 10.
And, in the display case of Figure 11 A, Figure 11 B, show for example in the particular image of above-mentioned steps S104 is processed, the common image of Figure 11 B has been carried out to the situation that background is removed processing, above-mentioned background is removed and processed is that the image of removing the image of background parts is processed, and generates the processing of the image that is disposed of Figure 11 A.
In addition, the display case of Figure 12 A, Figure 12 B is the example of following situation: in the particular image of above-mentioned steps S104 is processed, the common image of Figure 12 B is removed to the image processing that is considered to unwanted picture in prospect part, the prospect that generates the image that is disposed of Figure 12 A is removed the situation of processing.
After can describe that the background of the particular image of the image that is disposed of Figure 11 A, Figure 12 A in processing removed processing, prospect is removed " parts of images are removed processing " such as processing (referring to Figure 13, Figure 14, the 2nd execution mode) for generating in detail.
" EVF is used recommendation message " in the processing of this step S105 on the overlapping demonstration image that is shown in the 1st display part 8 refers to such demonstration shown in symbol B in Figure 11 B, Figure 12 B.In the display case of Figure 11 B, Figure 12 B, express and light or flickering display " is confirmed " example of such word by EVF.In addition, can also apply user can hold the meaning icon, mark by visualization etc.Demonstration that should " EVF is used recommendation message " is to inform that the demonstration that the demonstration particular image of user's the 2nd display part 31 is disposed carries out when being shown in the 1st display part 8 at it.Like this 2 display parts, the image that shows respectively on the 1st, the 2nd display part (8,31) are switched, can effectively distinguish use display part.
In addition, so-called " focus index " refers to except the demonstration of above-mentioned " EVF is used recommendation message " and the index shown in symbol C demonstration, Figure 12 B.Should " focus index " be shown near the difference between the demonstration (particular image be disposed image) of the demonstration (common image) of processing the 1st display part 8 producing by implementing particular image and the 2nd display part 31.In the display case of Figure 12 B, the arrow at the indicating predetermined position that represents to send as an envoy to is lighted or the example of flickering display.In addition, can also apply user can hold the meaning icon, mark by visualization etc.User is by paying close attention to the demonstration of the near zone of " focus index " on the overlapping demonstration image that is presented at the 1st display part 8, the demonstration image of observation and comparison the 1st display part 8 and the demonstration image of the 2nd display part 31, thus the situation of processing result image can be learned.Can certainly in EVF, arrange the image showing without carrying out image processing.Therefore the image that now equally also easily observation and comparison is arranged, can learn the situation of processing result image.
And then all right example as shown in Figure 9, by the operation of lens unit, switches the position of this index.For example, when landscape in focus time, by the part of color full-filling focus virtualization around.In addition, the consideration mode based on identical, if ear of maize in focus, can realize and manifest ear of maize and landscape becomes empty processing.
As implied above, because each display part of user's 100 visualizations situation of 8,32 o'clock is different, thereby be shown in the image on 2 display parts 8,32 for observation and comparison, the way of most convenient is temporarily to stop just each dynamic image in demonstration on 2 display parts 8,31, makes the still image of identical timing show the scheduled time.Therefore be provided with the processing of subsequent step S106, S107.
; result at above-mentioned steps S104, S105 is for example observed " EVF is used recommendation message " of the 1st display part 8 for user; wish in the situation that respectively shows image of 2 display parts of observation and comparison 8,31; user uses predetermined functional unit, and that temporarily freezes respectively to show image temporarily freezes operation.
In the step S106 of Fig. 5, the signal that signal processing/control part 11 monitors from operation determination section 6, is confirmed whether to have produced the index signal producing by temporarily freezing operation.Wherein, when confirming, carried out temporarily freezing in the situation of operation the processing that enters next step S107.And ought not confirm, carried out temporarily freezing in the situation of operation the processing that enters step S108.
In step S107, signal processing/control part 11 is controlled the 1st display part 8 and the 2nd display parts 31, carry out each display part 8,32 demonstration temporarily freeze process.It is temporarily to stop being just shown in the dynamic image on 2 display parts 8,31 that temporarily the freezing of this demonstration processed, and makes the still image of identical timing show the processing of the scheduled time.Wherein, the control of the 1st display part 8 is directly carried out by signal processing/control part 11.And when carrying out the control of the 2nd display part 31, signal processing/control part 11 sends predetermined control signal (freeze frame signal) by annex Department of Communication Force 12, camera Department of Communication Force 32 to the 2nd display part 31.
As above,, by making the demonstration image of 2 display parts 8,31 temporarily in frozen state, thereby being easy to 2 of observation and comparisons, user shows image.After the scheduled time, remove frozen state.Then enter the processing of step S108.
And the temporary transient frozen state of demonstration can be removed after the scheduled time, removing can be in operation signal wait state after this state.If now again temporarily freeze operation, repeat identical freezing and process, user can study special processing result until understand.This freezes operation and removes operation also can knocking operation or shaking operation and carry out by camera.In this case, by using the result of acceleration detection can easily realize this operation.
In step S108, signal processing/control part 11 monitors the signal from operation determination section 6, is confirmed whether to have produced by indication the photograph operation of beginning, the photography index signal that for example shutter release operation produces.Wherein, when confirming in the situation of photography index signal, enter into the processing of next step S109.And do not confirm in the situation of photography index signal, return to the processing of step S102, repeat the processing from this processing.
In step S109, the signal that signal processing/control part 11 monitors from annex Department of Communication Force 12, confirms to be input to the input signal of portion of terminal 10b, thereby confirms, on camera 1, whether accessory device 30 is installed.Wherein, be provided with after accessory device 30 confirming, enter into the processing of next step S110.And do not confirm when accessory device 30 is installed, enter the processing of step S111.
In step S110, the picture signal that the image that the result that signal processing/control part 11 is processed the particular image as above-mentioned steps S104 by annex Department of Communication Force 12, camera Department of Communication Force 32 generates is disposed is transmitted to the recording unit 34 of accessory device 30.Recording unit 34 receives these data, carries out after prearranged signal processing using it as Imagery Data Recording in recording medium.Then enter the processing of step S111.
In step S111, signal processing/control part 11 sends the obtained picture signal of the image pickup part by camera body 10 2, the picture signal based on common photography processed without particular image to recording image portion 4.Recording image portion 4 receives these data, carries out after prearranged signal processing using it as Imagery Data Recording in recording medium.Then finish a series of processing, camera 1 and accessory device 30 are transferred to the holding state of the operation indication of waiting for next photography action etc.
Particular image is herein processed and is referred to processing as follows, if by the required program of this processing of recording unit keeping of accessory device and variable etc., user only needs alternately to install idle accessory device and just can realize other effects.These programs and variable etc. can certainly be stored in the recording unit in camera.
The object lesson of processing as particular image, dreams up user for photographs being given to the effect based on subjective consciousness, and the content of can selectivity giving, for example
Emphasize or reduce the image processing of tone;
Emphasize or reduce the image processing of colourity;
The image that converts black and white image to is processed;
The image that regulates focusing state to present so-called soft focus tone is processed;
Emphasize or reduce the image processing of contrast;
Reducing image bright or reduction resolution around processes;
Virtualization focus around, the image that outdoor scene is depicted as to perspective (diorama) style is processed;
The images such as image processing that are converted to the tone of fabulosity are processed.
Also can possess different programs and parameter according to each annex.By facility information storage part 33, possess these information.
[the 2nd execution mode]
As the 2nd execution mode of the present invention, below main use the explanations such as Figure 13, Figure 14 to use camera 1 in above-mentioned the 1st execution mode and accessory device 30 to carry out that background in particular image processing performed in the situation of photography action is removed processing, prospect is removed the details of " parts of images are removed processing " such as processing.
Figure 13 is in the situation that the photographic equipment of the accessory device of present embodiment has been installed in use photographs and carry out the schematic diagram that background in particular image processing is removed situation about processing with image.That is, Figure 13 is shown schematically on the camera 1 of present embodiment and has installed under the state of accessory device 30, the state in the situation of the photography that comprises prospect subject 101 and background subject 102.
Figure 14 represents that the background of carrying out Figure 13 removes the display mode on each display part while processing with image.Wherein, Figure 14 A represents to be shown in the display case on the 2nd display part, and Figure 14 B represents the display case of the 1st display part.Figure 14 C is the schematic diagram of imagining when the demonstration of the demonstration of Figure 14 A and Figure 14 B is piled up.
In Figure 13, the photography field range of camera 1 is by the scope shown in the angle of visual field D1 of camera lens 21.Now the picture signal based on being obtained by camera 1 and the image that shows are as shown in Figure 14B.
In Figure 13, the photography field range of the camera section 35 of accessory device 30 is by the scope shown in the angle of visual field D2 of camera lens 35a.Now the picture signal based on being obtained by camera section 35 and the image that shows are as shown in Figure 14 A.
And Figure 14 B represent imagination so that the consistent mode of datum line S by the composograph in the situation of the doubling of the image of Figure 14 A, Figure 14 B.
Wherein, if the image of the image of comparison diagram 14A and Figure 14 B, the picture 102 of known background subject 102 (a, b) is with respect to the position skew along the vertical direction as shown in Figure 14 C of datum line S, and described datum line S is set in arbitrarily on the picture 101 (a, b) of the prospect subject 101 that is positioned at picture substantial middle part.
Particularly, distance from datum line S to background shot object image 102b the image (Figure 14 A) that to be located at the distance from datum line S to background shot object image 102a in the image (Figure 14 B) that camera 1 takes be F1, take at camera section 35 is F2, F1 ≠ F2 (F1 < F2) now.
Its reason is, the optical axis of the optical axis of the camera lens 21 of camera 1 and the camera lens 35a of camera section 35 is inconsistent, but staggers along the vertical direction, between 2 camera lenses, has parallax.That is, between 2 cameras (1,35), exist in the situation of parallax, each image of being obtained in same timing by each camera becomes specific shot body in the picture image different from position relationship between different subjects.
In present embodiment, utilize the situation that produces parallax between 2 cameras (1,35), the image of relatively being obtained respectively by 2 cameras (1,35), removes and in 2 images, produces the part of skew and the image of residual uniform portion is processed, thereby realize background, removes processing.
And, when inconsistent part being removed to processing, also can utilize and for example remove the dominant color (color of area major part in processing section.In display case such as being sky look) etc. processing that peripheral part of residual image (removing processing section) etc. is filled etc.
On the other hand, describe as follows the prospect shown in the display case of Figure 12 A, B and remove processing.For example establish the common image shown in Figure 12 B and obtained by camera 1, consider the processing of the parts of images shown in unwanted part G in deletion prospect part.
When accessory device 30 being installed on while photographing action on camera 1, by the obtained image of the camera section 35 of accessory device 30, become the image of focusing in the state of unwanted part G.
Now, the focal adjustments focusing ring of user's operation setting on the phtographic lens unit 20 of camera 1, makes unwanted part G in non-focusing state.For example, when prospect subject is in fully approaching in the position of camera 1 and the very sufficient situation of distance between prospect subject and background subject, even if prospect subject, in non-focusing state, also can maintain focusing state by background subject.Thereby just can between the image of being obtained by camera 1 and the image of being obtained by camera section 35, produce difference.
By as above operating, remove processing (Figure 14) with above-mentioned background and similarly the image of being obtained by 2 cameras (1,35) is compared to processing, just can obtain as shown in Figure 14 A the result of having removed after unwanted prospect subject.
In addition, be different from aforesaid operations example, if make the operation of background subject in non-focusing state, can leave prospect subject, carry out the processing of removing of background subject.
And then, also can example as shown in Figure 9, by the operation of lens unit, switch the position of the c index of this Figure 12 (b).For example, when will be in focus during landscape,, as long as 2 obtained landscape image are overlapping, by color around, fill because parallax causes the part there are differences.In addition, if incite somebody to action ear of maize in focus, also can manifest the processing of ear of maize.
As mentioned above, according to above-mentioned the 1st, the 2nd execution mode, at camera 1 be installed in the accessory device 30 on camera 1, accessory device 30 has: the camera section 35 that can obtain the roughly the same image of the image that obtains with camera 1 side-draw; There is the facility information storage part 33 of processing relevant various information with particular image; And the camera Department of Communication Force 32 communicating between the camera 1 of installing; And the 2nd display part 31 that shows image, and camera 1 side is configured to and is provided with: and the annex Department of Communication Force 12 communicating between accessory device 30, the image processing part 11c that carries out various image processing, show the 1st display part 8 of image.
And, when accessory device 30 being installed on while photographing action on camera 1, be configured to according to the picture signal being obtained by camera 1 and the picture signal being obtained by the camera section 35 of accessory device 30 and carry out particular image processing etc., and on the display part of the side in camera 1 and accessory device 30, show common photographs, the complete image of Graphics Processing on the opposing party's display part.
By this formation, in the camera 1 and accessory device 30 of present embodiment, if accessory device 30 being installed on to the action of photographing under the state on camera 1, can use 2 display parts (8,31) to show the image that common photographs and particular image are disposed simultaneously.Therefore, user can be arbitrarily these 2 display parts (8,31) of visualization alternately.
That is, when accessory device 30 being installed on while using on camera 1, use 2 display parts (8,31) show respectively the photographs of the view data based on obtaining by photography action and this photographs has been implemented to the image that is disposed after particular image processing, by these 2 display parts (8,31) of observation and comparison image separately, user can easily judge the effect of common image having been implemented to the result of particular image processing.
[the 3rd execution mode]
