VALOKUVAUSJÅRJESTELMAVALOKUVAUSJÅRJESTELMA

Keksinnon kohteena on patenttivaatimuksen 1 johdanto-osassa måaritelty valokuvausjårjestelma.The invention relates to a photographic system as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

5 Entuudestaan tunnetaan valokuvausjårjestelmiå, joissa kameraan ladattava filmi on tavallisesti taysin homogeenista nauhamaista filmia. Tållaiseen filmiin kuuluu joukko perakkaisiå ja tåsmålleen yhdenmukaiset kuvausominaisuudet omaavia kuvaruutuja. Filmi on siis 10 koko pituudeltaan yhdenmukainen omaten tietyn herkkyy-den ja filmi voi olla vårillistå tai mustavalkoista, diapositiivifilmia tai negatiivifilmiå yms.5 Photographic systems are already known in which the film to be loaded into the camera is usually a completely homogeneous film-like film. Such a film consists of a series of screens that are consecutive and have exactly the same shooting characteristics. Thus, the film is uniform throughout its length with a certain sensitivity, and the film may be colored or black and white, slide film, or negative film, and the like.

Ongelmana entuudestaan tunnetuissa jarjestel-missa on, etta kun kamerassa on vain yhta filmia, niin 15 silla voi ottaa kuvia vain sellaisissa tilanteissa, joihin kyseinen filmityyppi soveltuu. Sen vuoksi monet luonto-, urheilu- ja muut ammattikuvaajat kåyttåvåt kahta tai useampaakin kameraa ladattuna erilaisilla filmeilla saadakseen parhaan mahdollisen kuvaustuloksen 20 ainutkertaisesta tapahtumasta. Ongelmaa on pyritty aiemmin ratkaisemaan myos erikoiskameroilla, joihin voidaan ladata kahta erilaista filmia, joilla on eri-laiset kuvausominaisuudet. Nåisså on kuitenkin ongelmana, ettei kahta filmia voi kåyttaa sellaisessa kameras-25 sa, joka on tarkoitettu kåyttåmaan yhta filmia. Jul-kaisusta DE 1021708 tunnetaan kahden filmin valinnainen valottaminen yhdellå kameralla, jossa on kaksi kumpaan-kin suuntaan kierrettåvåå filmikelaa. Erilaiset filmit, esimerkisså mustavalkofilmi ja vårifilmi, on jårjestet-30 ty kumpikin omaan filmikelaansa ja filminauhojen vapaat påat on yhdistetty toisiinsa. Keloja valinnaisesti kiertåmålla filminauhat voidaan tuoda kameran valo-tusikkunan eteen halutussa jårjestyksessa.The problem with previously known systems is that when there is only one film in the camera, it can only take pictures in situations where that type of film is suitable. Therefore, many nature, sports, and other professional photographers use two or more cameras loaded with different films to get the best possible shooting result from 20 unique events. Efforts have also been made in the past to solve this problem with special cameras that can be loaded with two different films with different shooting characteristics. However, the problem with these is that the two films cannot be used in a camera designed to use a single film. DE 1021708 discloses the optional exposure of two films with a single camera with two film reels rotatable in both directions. Different films, for example a black and white film and a color film, are each arranged in their own film reel, and the free ends of the film strips are connected to each other. Optionally, by rotating the spools, the film strips can be brought in front of the camera's exposure window in the desired order.

Keksinnon tarkoituksena on poistaa edellå 35 mainitut epåkohdat.The object of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Erityisesti keksinnon tarkoituksena on tuoda esiin valokuvausjårjestelma, joka antaa mahdollisuuden 2 yhdellå filmillå ladattavan yhden kameran kåyttåmiseen samalla kun kåytettavissa on useampia filmityyppeja.In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a photographic system which makes it possible to use a single camera which can be loaded with 2 single films while several types of film are available.

Keksinnon mukaiselle valokuvausjårjestelmålle on tunnusomaista se, mitå on esitetty patenttivaatimuk-5 sessa 1.The photographic system according to the invention is characterized by what is set forth in claim 1.

Keksinnon mukaiseen valokuvausjårjestelmåån kuuluu filmi, joka on nauhamateriaalia, ja johon filmi in kuuluu joukko peråkkåisiå kuvaruutuja ja ainakin kaksi kuvausominaisuuksiltaan erilaista aluetta. Valo-10 kuvausjarjestelmaan kuuluu edelleen kamera, johon kuuluu runko, optiikka, moottorikåyttoinen filminsiirto-laite ja tietojenkåsittelylaite.The photographic system according to the invention comprises a film which is a strip material and in which the film comprises a number of successive screens and at least two areas with different photographic characteristics. The light-10 imaging system further includes a camera including a body, optics, a motor-driven film transfer device, and a data processing device.

Keksinnon mukaisesti kameraan kuuluu tiedon-syottolaite filmin eri alueiden kuvausominaisuustie-15 tojen, kuvaruutujen lukumååråtietojen kullakin alueella ja alueiden paikkatietojen syottamiseksi tietojenkasit-telylaitteelle, ja valintalaite halutut kuvausominai-suudet omaavan alueen valitsemiseksi valotusta vårten. Tietojenkasittelylaite on jårjestetty syotettyjen ku-20 vausominaisuus-, lukumåårå- ja paikkatietojen ja valin-talaitteelta valitun tiedon perusteella ohjaamaan fil-minsiirtolaite siirtåmåån filmia valitulla alueella olevan kuvaruudun saattamiseksi valotusvalmiuteen.According to the invention, the camera includes a data input device for inputting information on the image characteristics of the different areas of the film, the number of screens in each area and the location information of the areas on the data processing device, and a selection device for selecting the area with the desired shooting characteristics. The data processing device is arranged on the basis of the input shooting characteristics, the number and location information and the information selected from the selector to control the film transfer device to transfer the film to the screen in the selected area for exposure.

Keksinnon etuna on, etta samalla kameralla 25 voidaan hallita useita erilaisia kuvaustilanteita, jotka kukin erikseen vaativat ko tilanteelle parhaiten soveltuvaa tietyntyyppistå filmia. Sahkomoottorikåyt-tdisella filminsiirtolaitteella filmin kelaus sopivaan kohtaan, ts. valitulla alueella olevan valottamattoman 30 kuvaruudun kohdalle, tapahtuu nopeasti, ja kamera on valittomasti valmis uuteen erilaiseen kuvaustilantee-seen. Monissa nykyisisså kameroissa on vakiovarusteena moottorikåyttoinen filminsiirtolaite, jota kuitenkin nykyaan kaytetåån vain lataamaan filmi, siirtåmåån fil-35 mia ruutu kerrallaan eteenpåin, ja lopuksi kelaamaan valotettu filmi takaisin koteloonsa. Keksinnosså tal-laista filminsiirtolaitetta kaytetåån tietojenkåsitte- 3 91334 lylaitteen ohjaamana etsimaån valittu sopiva kohta filmistå valotettavaksi. Tietojenkasittelylaite voi olla esim mikrosuoritin, joka rakennettu kameran si-saan.The advantage of the invention is that the same camera 25 can control several different shooting situations, each of which individually requires a certain type of film best suited to the situation. With an electric motor-operated film transfer device, the film is wound to a suitable location, i.e., the unexposed screen 30 in the selected area, and the camera is inevitably ready for a new different shooting situation. Many current cameras come standard with a motorized film transfer device, which today, however, is only used to load film, move film 35 frames frame by frame, and finally rewind the exposed film back into its case. In the invention, such a film transfer device is used, under the control of a data processing device, to find a selected suitable point in the film for exposure. The data processing device can be, for example, a microprocessor built into the camera.

5 Jarjestelman eraassa sovellutuksessa tietojen kasittelylaite on jårjestetty asettamaan kameran saa-ddt, kuten valotusajan ja aukon, valitun alueen ku-vausominaisuuksiin soveltuviksi.5 In one application of the system, the data processing device is arranged to make the camera's available conditions, such as shutter speed and aperture, suitable for the shooting characteristics of the selected area.

Vii-vakoodinlukulaite 12 voi olla kameran sisåånrakennettu 15 (ei esitetty) tai ulkoinen, kuten kuvassa 1. Kuvan 3 filmin sovellutuksessa koodi 11 on reikåkoodi ja kameraan kuuluu silloin vastaavat reikåkoodinlukulaitteet (ei esitetty). Kuvan 3 esimerkisså filmisså on lisåksi kunkin alueen alussa rei'itys 14, joka ilmaisee ko 20 alueen sisålldn.The camera 3 further comprises a display device 10 for displaying information about the characteristics of the different areas 71, 72, 73, 74 of the film 1 loaded into the camera. In the example of Fig. 1, a 35 mm film with 36 screens is loaded on the camera, 30 in which the screens are divided between four areas so that each area has 9 screens. From the display device 10, the user of the camera can see how many unexposed screens in each different area are present. This corresponds to Chapter 9 of the example. - 6 types (DL) with a sensitivity of 100 ISO. The next area 72 has 9 unexposed screens and area 72 is a color negative film (C), (N), artificial light type (FL) and has a sensitivity of 200 ISO. Area 73 has 9 light-5 unscreened screens and area 73 is a color negative film (C), (N), natural light type (DL), and has a sensitivity of 400 ISO. The following area 74 has 9 unexposed screens with area 74 of color negative film (C), (N), artificial light type (FL) and a sensitivity of 100 ISO. 10 When the film 1 is loaded into the camera 3, the imaging characteristics of these different areas can be, as shown in Fig. 2, as a bar code 11 at the beginning of the film 1, read by a bar code reader 12 belonging to the camera. In the film application of Figure 3, the code 11 is a hole code and the camera then includes corresponding hole code readers (not shown). In the example of Figure 3, the film also has a perforation 14 at the beginning of each region, which indicates the contents of the region in question.

Koodi voi olla myos esim luettavissa filmipak-kauksesta 13, kuten kuvassa 4, jossa sama asia on sekå viivakoodina ettå alfanumeerisena koodina. Alfanumeeri-set koodit voidaan syottåå tietojenkåsittelylaitteelle 25 6 nåppåimistollå 8, joka nåkyy kuvassa 1.The code can also be read, for example, from the film package 13, as in Figure 4, where the same thing is both as a bar code and as an alphanumeric code. The alphanumeric codes can be entered into the data processing device 25 6 using the keypad 8 shown in Fig. 1.

Valintalaite 9 on kuvan 1 esimerkisså nåppåi-misto koostuen neljåstå painikenåppåimestå 151, 152, 153, 154, jotka ovat kameran 3 kyljesså ja vastaavat kukin yhtå aluetta filmillå. Jos halutaan valita esim alue 73, 30 painetaan toiseksi alimmaista painiketta 153, jolloin filminsiirtolaite 5 kelaa filmin ko alueen valottamat-toman kuvaruudun kohdalle.In the example of Figure 1, the selection device 9 is a keyboard consisting of four button keys 151, 152, 153, 154, which are on the side of the camera 3 and each correspond to one area in the film. If it is desired to select, for example, the area 73, the second lowest button 153 is pressed, whereby the film transfer device 5 winds the film over the unexposed screen of the area in question.

Keksintoå ei rajata pelkåståån edellå esitet-tyjå sovellutusesimerkkejå koskevaksi, vaan monet muun-35 nokset ovat mahdollisia pysyttåesså patenttivaatimusten måårittelemån keksinnollisen ajatuksen puitteissa.The invention is not limited to the application examples presented above only, but many modifications are possible while remaining within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims.
