The effect is great not only for VC but also for DSC for still image shooting.

[0008]

However, the conventional imaging apparatus has the following problems. (1) When the subject is vertically long, such as when photographing the whole body of a person, the user wants to use the frame effectively and take a larger image. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Often do. In this case, when the photographed image is displayed on the liquid crystal monitor, the subject image is displayed facing sideways. Therefore, in order to display the subject in the original use state, it is necessary to rotate the image pickup apparatus main body by 90 ° and set the liquid crystal monitor in a vertically long state, which is very inconvenient. (2) A captured image can be displayed by connecting a video cable to a video output terminal mounted on the imaging device and outputting the video cable to a television or the like. However, as described in (1), an image captured by rotating the imaging device by 90 ° is displayed horizontally. In the case of a television, since it is difficult to rotate the main body by 90 °, a photographed image turned sideways is seen, which is very difficult to see. (3) Even when an image captured by the imaging device is displayed on a monitor such as a personal computer, the image is displayed horizontally, so it is necessary to rotate the image by 90 ° using image processing software or the like, which is troublesome.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are views for explaining the vertical and horizontal rearrangement of photographed image data.

The solid-state image pickup device (CCD) 4 is an image pickup device that converts an image incident through the image pickup optical system 3 into an electric signal, and is driven and controlled by a CCD drive control unit 5. The analog signal processing unit 6 is a processing unit that performs analog signal processing such as gamma processing on a video signal obtained by the solid-state imaging device 4. The A / D converter 7 is a converter that converts an analog video signal output from the analog signal processor 6 into a digital signal.

The digital signal processing means 8 converts the video signal converted into a digital signal by the A / D conversion means 7 into a digital signal.
This is a signal processing unit that performs digital signal processing such as noise removal and contour enhancement. The frame memory 9 temporarily stores the image signal that has passed through the digital signal processing means 8. Writing of the image once recorded in the frame memory 9 to the image recording means 11 such as an internal memory or a recording medium is controlled in accordance with a command from the image recording control means 10.

The imaging optical system 3 includes three lens groups L1 and L
2, an imaging optical system composed of L3, the L2 lens group being a correction lens group, and moving in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis,
It decenters the optical axis and plays a role in correcting image movement. The yawing drive correction unit 12x and the pitching drive correction unit 12y drive control the L2 lens group, which is a correction lens group, in two directions X and Y orthogonal to the optical axis of the imaging optical system 2.

Hereinafter, the X direction is defined as the yawing direction, and the Y direction is defined as the pitching direction. The position detecting means 13 is a detecting means for detecting the position of the L2 lens group, and forms a feedback control loop for driving and controlling the L2 lens group together with the yawing drive control means 12x and the pitching drive control means 12y. The L2 lens group, the yawing drive control unit 12x, and the pitching drive control unit 12y form a motion correction unit that controls the optical axis of the imaging light.

The angular velocity sensors 14x and 14y are sensors for detecting the movement of the image pickup apparatus itself including the image pickup optical system 2, and based on the output when the image pickup apparatus 1 is stationary, the angular velocity sensors 14x and 14y It outputs both positive and negative angular velocity signals depending on the direction of movement. Two angular velocity sensors 14x and 14y are provided to detect movements in two directions of yawing and pitching, respectively. Thus, the angular velocity sensor 1
4x and 14y have a function of a motion detecting means for detecting a motion of the imaging device 1 due to camera shake and other vibrations. The output of the angular velocity sensor is converted into a digital signal by A / D converters 15x and 15y through a filter process, an amplifier process, and the like, and is provided to the microcomputer 2.

The microcomputer 2 is provided with an angular velocity sensor 14 fetched through A / D converters 15x and 15y.
x, 14y output signals are subjected to filtering, integration processing, phase compensation, gain adjustment, clipping processing, etc., and drive control amounts (control signals) of the L2 lens group necessary for motion correction
Ask for. The control signal is output to the yawing drive control unit 12x and the pitching drive control unit 12y via the D / A conversion units 16x and 16y. Therefore, the yawing drive control means 12x and the pitching drive control means 12y drive the L2 lens group based on the control signal to correct the movement of the image.

FIG. 3 shows an image blur correction mechanism 20 for driving and controlling the L2 lens group in the imaging optical system 3 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing one example. The L2 lens group is fixed to a pitching movement frame 21 and the pitching movement frame 2
Reference numeral 1 is slidably held in the Y direction with respect to the yawing moving frame 22 via two pitching shafts 23a and 23b. Further, coils 24x and 24y are fixed to the pitching movement frame 21. Yawing movement frame 2
2 is a yaw shaft 26a,
It is slidably held in the X direction via 26b.

The magnet 27x and the yoke 28x are held by the fixed frame 25, and constitute an actuator 29x together with the coil 24x. Similarly, the magnet 27y and the yoke 28y are held by the fixed frame 25, and constitute an actuator 29y together with the coil 24y. The light emitting element 30
It is fixed to the pitching movement frame 21. The light receiving element 31 is an element that receives the projection light of the light emitting element 30 and detects two-dimensional position coordinates, and is fixed to the fixed frame 25.

The yawing current value detecting means 17 shown in FIG.
x is detection means for detecting the value of the current flowing through the coil 24x when the yawing actuator 29x operates. Similarly, the pitching current value detecting means 17y is a means for detecting a current value flowing through the coil 24y when the pitching actuator 29y operates.

A method of detecting a current value by the yawing current value detecting means 17x and the pitching current value detecting means 17y will be described. In photographing in the normal posture as shown in FIG. 24A, the posture of the image blur correction mechanism 20 is as shown in FIG.

At this time, in order to hold the L2 lens group at the center of the optical axis in the Y direction, the weight of the L2 lens group, the pitching holding frame 21, and the coils 24x and 24y is applied in the gravity direction (Y direction). It is necessary to supply a current for lifting the weight of the coil 24y to the coil 24y. The current value at that time is Iy1 shown in FIG.

In the X direction, since it is not necessary to consider the weight of the L2 lens group at the center of the optical axis, the current flowing through the coil 24x is Ix2 smaller than Iy1. Conversely, in the shooting posture rotated by 90 ° as shown in FIG. 25A, the posture of the image blur correction mechanism 19 is
This is as shown in FIG.

At this time, in order to hold the L2 lens group at the center of the optical axis in the X direction, in addition to the L2 lens group, the pitching holding frame 21 and the coils 24x and 24y, the weight of the yawing holding frame 22 is reduced. Gravity direction (X direction)
Therefore, it is necessary to supply a current for raising the weight of the coil 24x to the coil 24x. The current value at that time is Ix1 which is larger than Iy1.

In the Y direction, since it is not necessary to consider the weight of the lens for holding the L2 lens group at the center of the optical axis, the value of the current flowing through the coil 24y is smaller than Ix1.
y2. As described above, the value of the current flowing through the coils 24x and 24y is determined depending on the shooting posture. Conversely, by detecting this current value, the image blur correction mechanism 20, the lens barrel 19 equipped with the image blur correction mechanism, Further, the attitude of the imaging device 1 can be detected.

The operation of the imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

When the photographer takes a picture, the angular velocity sensor 1
4x, 14y, the camera shake detected in the imaging device 1 is detected, the microcomputer 2 gives a command to cancel the camera shake, and the coil 24 of the pitching movement frame 21
When a current is supplied to each of x and 24y from an external circuit, the pitching movement frame 21 moves in two directions X and Y planes perpendicular to the optical axis Z by a magnetic circuit formed by the actuators 27x and 27y. In addition, since the position of the pitching movement frame 21 is detected by the light receiving element 29, highly accurate position detection can be performed. That is, by moving the L2 lens group in two planes orthogonal to the optical axis by the image blur correction mechanism 20, it is possible to correct an image incident on the image sensor 4 via the image capturing optical system 2, and to reduce camera shake. It is possible to take a suppressed good image.

Next, a method of determining the photographing posture of the image pickup apparatus will be described in the case where the photographer photographs a horizontally long subject such as a landscape in the state shown in FIG. The attitude of the imaging device 1 is determined based on the detection values of the yawing current value detecting means 17x and the pitching current value detecting means 17y.
When the image is photographed in this posture (the posture of 0 °), the current value flowing through the coil 24x of the camera shake correction mechanism 20 is Ix2 and the current value flowing through the coil 24y by the yawing drive current value detection means 17x and the pitching drive current value detection means 17y. Is Iy1.

As a result, the microcomputer 2 determines the attitude of the imaging device 1. By pressing the shutter button 35 in this state, the subject can be photographed, and the photographed image is recorded in the image recording means 11. The captured image to be recorded is, as shown in FIG. 6A, data of normal A × B pixels.

Next, a case where the photographer photographs a vertically long subject such as a person in the state shown in FIG.
The attitude of the imaging device 1 is determined based on the detection values of the yawing current value detecting means 17x and the pitching current value detecting means 17y. In the case of photographing in this posture (a posture of 90 °), the yaw driving current value detecting means 17x and the pitching driving current value detecting means 17y cause the camera shake correcting mechanism 20 to be used.
It can be understood that the current value Ix1 flowing through the coil 24x and the current value Iy2 flowing through the coil 24y.

As a result, the microcomputer 2 determines the attitude of the imaging device 1. By pressing the shutter button 35 in this state, the subject can be photographed, and the photographed image is recorded in the image recording means 11. As shown in FIG. 6B, the recorded image to be recorded is originally data of A × B pixels. However, since the image is captured by rotating the image capturing apparatus 1 by 90 °, the captured image is recorded in the image recording unit 11. At this time, the captured image is rotated by 90 °, and the image is output from the frame memory 9 in a state where the vertical and horizontal directions are rearranged to B × A pixels.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, a good image free from camera shake can be taken by mounting the camera shake correction mechanism. Furthermore, since the driving current value detecting means of the actuator makes it possible to determine the photographing posture of the image pickup apparatus, the upper and lower sides and the left and right of the photographed image can be matched with the photographed image without separately providing a detection sensor which causes a cost increase. The photographed image can be recorded by adjusting the length and width.

As a result, when a photographed image is separately displayed on a display device or the like, the photographer does not depend on the attitude of the imaging device used and does not need any special operation such as rotating the photographed image. The captured image can be displayed in the original posture of the subject.

In this embodiment, both the pitching and the yawing are used as the current value detecting means. However, the posture of the image pickup apparatus can be specified by detecting only one of the current values. However, as described in the present embodiment, by detecting both current values, even if an abnormality occurs in one of the current value measuring means, it becomes possible to make a more accurate determination. Regarding this posture detecting means, it is needless to say that an effect similar to that of the present embodiment can be obtained by separately attaching an angle sensor or the like to an image pickup apparatus not equipped with a camera shake correction mechanism.

A method for rearranging recorded images according to the photographing posture as described in this embodiment is provided in the image pickup apparatus main body.
You may provide the selection means which can select the method which does not rearrange as usual.

As for the photographed image, a still image has been described, but a moving image or a simple moving image can be similarly handled.

The components described so far are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

In the photographed image, an attitude determination signal 36 for determining the difference in the imaging attitude of the imaging apparatus 1 is recorded at the same time. The posture determination signal when the photographing posture is 0 ° is 36 (0),
The posture determination signal at the time of 判別 is 36 (1).

The operation of the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

A case where the photographer photographs a horizontally long subject such as a landscape in the state shown in FIG. As described in the first embodiment, the attitude of the imaging device 1 is determined based on the magnitude of the current flowing through the coils 24x and 24y of the image blur correction mechanism 20. By pressing the shutter button 35 in this state, the subject can be photographed, and the photographed image is recorded in the image recording means 11. At this time, the image recording control means 10 adds, to the image signal output from the frame memory 9, a posture determination signal 36 (0) indicating that the photographing posture of the imaging device 1 was 0 °. The posture determination signal 36 is recorded, for example, in the header or footer of the image signal. The timing for recording the posture determination signal 36 is determined by the frame memory 9,
Alternatively, it may be in any of the image recording means 11.

Next, a case where the photographer photographs a vertically long subject such as a person in the state shown in FIG.
By pressing the shutter button 35 in this state, the subject can be photographed, and the photographed image is recorded in the image recording means 11. At this time, the image recording control means 10
Adds an orientation determination signal 36 (1) indicating that the imaging orientation of the imaging device 1 was 90 ° to the image signal output from the frame memory 9.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the photographing posture of the imaging device can be determined, and the posture determination signal of the imaging device can be recorded together with the photographed image. As a result, when the captured image is separately displayed on the display device, by controlling the display method based on the attitude determination signal recorded in the captured image, the captured image is not affected by the attitude of the imaging apparatus used by the photographer. In addition, the photographed image can be displayed in the original posture of the subject without requiring any special operation such as rotating the photographed image.

In the present embodiment, the method of adding the signals (0) and (1) as the posture determination signal is used, but the present invention is not limited to this method.
