When Figure 10 is the above-mentioned finder optical system use electrostatic the 3rd of expression and the 4th deformable mirror C, D, when carrying out the adjustment of zoom ratio adjustment and focus, impose on the voltage characteristic curve of each catoptron C, D respectively.Solid line among Figure 10 represents to impose on the voltage curve of the 3rd deformable mirror C, and dotted line represents to impose on the voltage curve of the 4th deformable mirror D.These apply each magnitude of voltage (voltage data) of voltage response and impose on the magnitude of voltage of the 1st and the 2nd deformable mirror A, B of photographic optical system same, are stored in the flash memory 23 with the form of look-up table.Below, the molar behavior of the digital camera that comprises camera unit 1 and view finder unit 11 is described.At first, describe according to process flow diagram shown in Figure 13.The flowcharting master routine of Figure 11, when the pattern of digital camera is not photograph mode but playback (regeneration) pattern, do not use the optical system 3 of camera unit 1 and the optical system 16 of view finder unit 11, so at first whether the acts of determination pattern is photograph mode (step S1).When pattern was photograph mode, the 1st~the 4th deformable mirror A~D that photographic optical system 3 and finder optical system 16 used carried out initial setting (step S2), when pattern is not photograph mode, carried out playback process (step S3).
When photographic optical system 3 and finder optical system 16 are carried out initial setting, the digital camera of band zoom function, usually wish at first the visual field to be made as wide as far as possible, so zoom is made as wide-angle, object distance (focus) is automatically made centre position 2m (default setting) for the time being, then correspondingly to the 1st~the 4th deformable mirror A~D control of switching on.
Respectively photographic optical system 3 and finder optical system 16 are being carried out behind the initial setting, then, judging whether carry out zoom operation (step S4), when carrying out zoom operation, entering the subroutine (step S5) of the 1st catoptron control 1.The subroutine action of the 1st catoptron control 1, shown in the process flow diagram of Figure 12, by the LCD of image-display units 28 during just at display image, can utilize this display image to confirm photographs, can not use finder optical system thereby be envisioned for, whether close (step S5-1) so at first judge image-display units 28 usefulness LCD.
Be judged to be image-display units 28 usefulness LCD when closing at this determination step, photographic optical system with deformable mirror A, B and finder optical system deformable mirror C, D, is carried out the zoom adjustment corresponding with the zoom ratio that sets energising (step S5-2).On the other hand, be judged to be image-display units 28 usefulness LCD when opening, need not make finder optical system with deformable mirror C, D action, so only photographic optical system is carried out the zoom adjustment with energising (step S5-3) with deformable mirror A, B.Finish the subroutine action of the 1st catoptron control 1 after these actions, return master routine once more.
When carrying out above-mentioned zoom adjustment, when photographic optical system is all used the electrostatic catoptron with deformable mirror A, B and finder optical system with deformable mirror C, D, energising to each deformable mirror A~D is following carrying out: promptly, shown in the sequential chart of Figure 13, when utilizing zoom lever or zoom button to carry out zoom operation, according to the zoom ratio corresponding with its operational ton, to photographic optical system and finder optical system with each deformable mirror switch on (applying voltage).At this moment, each deformable mirror A~D staggered in proper order switch on, so that do not repeat conduction time, from wide-angle to looking in the distance, the energising amount that makes each deformable mirror A~D according to each zoom ratio obtains and the corresponding net shape of setting zoom ratio by energising amount Ean, Ebn, Ecn, Edn as becoming big from Ea1, Eb1, Ec1, Ed1 to order shown in Ea2, Eb2, Ec2, the Ed2.To the energising (applying voltage) of each deformable mirror, can prevent the increase of peak point current when adjusting zoom ratio by such control.
The division driving mode that staggers the conduction time of above-mentioned each deformable mirror is only implemented under the situation of using the electrostatic deformable mirror.Therefore, when photographic optical system and finder optical system use the electromagnetic drive type catoptron with each deformable mirror A~D, apply continuously and the corresponding electric current of setting with zoom lever etc. of zoom ratio simultaneously to each deformable mirror A~D, up to through below AF control finish photography and move.
Return main program flow chart shown in Figure 11 once more, subsequent action is described.The action one of the subroutine procedure S5 of the 1st catoptron control 1 finishes, when each deformable mirror uses the electrostatic catoptron, then, the zoom operation in the subroutine action of the 1st catoptron control 1 is judged and whether is passed through the stipulated time (step S6) after finishing with energising.Carry out the determination step S4 of above-mentioned zoom operation whether,, omit the action step S5 of i.e. the 1st catoptron control of subroutine procedure 1, also whether pass through the judgement of afore mentioned rules time this moment if when not carrying out zoom operation.That is, judge carry out photographic optical system with and finder optical system whether pass through the stipulated time after switching on the initial setting of deformable mirror.
Pass through the reasons are as follows of judgement of this stipulated time.Promptly, during the electrostatic deformable mirror, applied be used to be deformed into the voltage of regulation shape after, one stops to apply this voltage, along with leaking of time through producing electric charge, the regulation deformed shape that can not keep the catoptron main body is so for the deformed shape that makes regulation remains in the permissible value scope, need apply voltage repeatedly with specific time interval.
At the step S6 that judges through the afore mentioned rules time, after stopping energising, during through the stipulated time (this example is 5 seconds), enter the subroutine action (step S7) of the 2nd catoptron control 2.The subroutine of the 2nd catoptron control 2, identical with the subroutine action of above-mentioned the 1st catoptron control 1 shown in the process flow diagram of Figure 14, at first, judge whether the LCD of image-display units 28 closes (step S7-1).At this determination step S7-1, close if be judged to be the LCD of image-display units 28, photographic optical system is carried out catoptron with deformable mirror A, B and finder optical system with deformable mirror C, D keep with energising (step S7-2).On the other hand, when the LCD that is judged to be image-display units 28 opens, finder optical system is failure to actuate with deformable mirror C, D, keeps with energising (step S7-3) so only photographic optical system is carried out catoptron with deformable mirror A, B.Move by the subroutine that the 2nd catoptron control 2 is finished in these action backs, return main program flow once more.
(applying voltage) is following carries out with switching in the shape maintenance of each deformable mirror A~D of above-mentioned electrostatic: promptly, as shown in figure 15, each deformable mirror A~D is applied separately final deformed shape with voltage Ean, Ebn, Ecn, Edn with staggering in proper order, so that do not repeat the conduction time of each deformable mirror A~D, the energising fixed time interval T1 (this example is 5 seconds) with regulation applies voltage to each deformable mirror A~D repeatedly under this state simultaneously.Like this, even keep using when switching on, can prevent that also peak point current from increasing.
Make finder optical system remain the importance of regulation deformed shape with deformable mirror, lower than making photographic optical system with the importance that deformable mirror remains the regulation deformed shape, its allowed band is envisioned for greater than the photographic optical system deformable mirror, so as shown in figure 16, for example, can be made as 2 times (this example are 10 second) of photographic optical system to energising fixed time interval (energising frequency), can further reduce power consumption like this with deformable mirror.
Above-mentioned judgement is through the step S6 of stipulated time and the subroutine action step S7 of the 2nd catoptron control 2, as mentioned above, only photographic optical system with and finder optical system implement during with deformable mirror A~D use electrostatic catoptron.Therefore, when these deformable mirrors A~D uses the electromagnetic drive type catoptron, can omit these and judge through the step S6 of stipulated time and the subroutine action step S7 of the 2nd catoptron control 2.
Return main program flow chart shown in Figure 11 once more, subsequent action is described.After the action of the subroutine action step S7 that has carried out the 2nd catoptron control 2, judge whether carried out releasing operation (step S8) for the first time.In front judgement if be judged to be when not passing through the stipulated time, is also skipped the subroutine action step S7 of the 2nd catoptron control 2 through the step S6 of stipulated time, changes the determination step S8 of above-mentioned first time of releasing operation over to.In addition, use the electromagnetic drive type catoptron, and when omitting the subroutine action step S7 that judges through the step S6 of stipulated time and the 2nd catoptron control 2, also change the determination step S8 of releasing operation for the first time at deformable mirror A~D.
After carrying out the releasing operation first time, the photography that promptly begins camera is prepared, the subroutine action (step S9) of beginning AF control.Do not carry out the first time during releasing operation, return step S4, carry out action repeatedly, up to carrying out the releasing operation first time from step S4 to step S8.
AF control has gradient (り is stepped on the mountain) AF mode and range finding AF mode, when using gradient mode AF control, shown in Figure 17 (A), AF control is only directly controlled image pickup optical system and is got final product, so utilize photographic optical system to carry out AF control (step S9-11) with deformable mirror A.This gradient mode AF control gradually changes from the infinity position towards extremely near direction in order to make object distance, and change photographic optical system with the shape of deformable mirror (use with shown in Figure 4 apply voltage curve corresponding apply voltage), the contrast value of the image that will photograph in each object distance stores, object distance when contrast is peak value is judged as focusing position, makes photographic optical system be the shape in described object distance focusing with deformable mirror A.Then, to finder optical system with deformable mirror C apply with described gradient mode AF control in be judged as the corresponding voltage or the electric current (corresponding Figure 10 or voltage curve or current curve shown in Figure 7) of object distance of focusing, carry out the AF control (step S9-12) of finder optical system with deformable mirror C.
On the other hand, when using distance measuring method AF control, shown in Figure 17 (B), utilize the output of the distance measuring sensor (not shown) that picture pick-up device (digital camera) has, inspected object distance (step S9-21) imposes on photographic optical system to the voltage corresponding to the object distance that is detected and carries out AF control (step S9-22) with deformable mirror A.Then, carry out AF control (step 9-23) imposing on finder optical system with deformable mirror C corresponding to the voltage of the object distance that is detected or electric current.Corresponding to the AF of the object distance that is detected control, concerning photographic optical system and finder optical system with deformable mirror in no particular order.
Above-mentioned AF control action one finishes, and returns master routine once more, judges and whether has carried out releasing operation (step S10) for the second time, does not carry out the second time during releasing operation if be judged to be, and standby is up to carrying out this operation.If be judged to be when having carried out for the second time releasing operation, the record (step S12) of photographs is carried out in the action (step S11) of photographing.
