Description

  The present invention relates to a camera including an operation member that is operated in order to perform settings relating to shooting such as a shooting mode and exposure information.

  Conventionally, many cameras using buttons and dials are known for setting various exposure modes and various exposure information values.

  For example, a release button above the grip, a first dial near it, a liquid crystal display element on the grip side with a pentaprism on the top of the camera, a button on the opposite side of the grip, and a second dial on the back side of the camera body There is a camera (see Patent Document 1).

  When selecting a shooting mode with this camera, rotate the first dial while looking at the liquid crystal display element and pressing the button to select from among manual mode, program AE mode, shutter priority AE mode, aperture priority AE mode, etc. Select the desired mode.

  Next, after rotating the first dial to determine setting values for various shooting modes, the exposure correction amount is set by rotating the second dial. For example, when setting the manual mode, the shutter speed is set with the first dial, and the aperture value is set with the second dial. The reverse is also possible.

  Next, when setting the program AE mode, the program shift (changing the combination of the shutter speed and the aperture value with the same exposure) can be set with the first dial, and the exposure correction value is set with the second dial. Next, when setting the shutter priority AE mode, the necessary shutter speed is set with the first dial, and the exposure correction value is set with the second dial. Next, when the aperture priority AE mode is set, a necessary aperture value is set with the first dial, and an exposure correction value is set with the second dial.

  On the other hand, a release button above the grip, a first dial near it, a liquid crystal display element on the grip side with a penta prism on the top of the camera, and a shooting mode dial with a shooting mode mark printed on the opposite side of the grip, There is a camera in which buttons are arranged on the upper rear side of the camera (see Patent Document 2).

  In this camera, when the shooting mode is selected, the shooting mode dial on which the shooting mode mark is printed can be rotated while looking directly at the shooting mode mark. The setting of the first dial is the same as above, but when performing the same setting as the setting of the second dial described above, the setting is made by turning the first dial while pressing the button on the back of the camera. I do.

  Furthermore, as with the camera in Patent Document 2, a release button above the grip, a first dial near it, and a pentaprism on the top of the camera are sandwiched with a liquid crystal display element on the grip side, and a shooting mode on the opposite side of the grip There is a camera in which a shooting mode dial on which a mark is printed is arranged, and a second dial is arranged on the back side of the camera body as in the camera in Patent Document 1 (see Patent Document 3).

When selecting the shooting mode with this camera, you can select the shooting mode by rotating the shooting mode dial on which the shooting mode mark is printed while looking directly at the shooting mode mark. Settings similar to those described in Patent Document 1 described above can be made.

  In general, the basic shooting posture of a single-lens reflex camera is to support the interchangeable lens with the left hand, place the index finger of the right hand on the release button, and hold the camera grip with the thumb of the right hand placed on the back of the camera body and the other finger of the right hand. .

  However, in the case of setting the shooting mode, in the above-described camera of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to release the left hand supporting the interchangeable lens from the interchangeable lens and operate the first dial with the right index finger while pressing the button with the left hand. There is. Also in the cameras of Patent Documents 2 and 3 described above, the left hand supporting the interchangeable lens is released from the interchangeable lens and the photographing mode dial is operated with the left hand, or the right hand is released from the grip portion and the photographing mode is performed with the right hand. It is necessary to operate the dial.

  When operating with the left hand released from the interchangeable lens, it is difficult to keep the camera facing the subject, especially when a heavy interchangeable lens is attached, and the right hand is released from the grip. Even in this case, it is difficult to quickly shift to the next shooting operation.

  Further, in the method of changing the exposure correction by rotating the first dial while pressing the button as in the camera of Patent Document 2, the right index finger is released from the release button to operate the first dial. It is difficult to quickly move to the next release operation.

  In particular, with regard to the exposure compensation operation, the exposure amount may be changed (shake up and down) for each shooting. When the first dial is operated by releasing the right index finger from the release button for each shooting as in the camera of Patent Document 2, there is a possibility that the operation is busy and a shutter chance is missed.

  In addition, as the camera in Patent Document 3 requires a space for laying out the three dials of the shooting mode dial, the first dial, and the second dial on the camera body, the camera is likely to be enlarged, It also leads to cost increase.

  The camera according to the present invention detects whether or not a subject is observed through the finder, a finder for observing the subject, a first operation member operated to perform settings relating to photographing, and the finder. And a control means for switching a setting object by the first operation member in accordance with a detection result of the detection means.

  For example, when the detection unit detects that the subject observation is not performed, the setting target is set as the shooting mode, and when the subject observation is detected, the setting target is set as the exposure control value. it can. When the detection unit detects that the subject is not observed, the setting target is set to the shooting mode, and when the subject observation is detected, the setting target is selected from the aperture value and the shutter speed. Either one can be used.

  According to the present invention, since the setting target by the first operating member is changed depending on whether or not the subject is observed through the finder by the photographer, it is necessary to provide the operating member in the camera for each setting target. The camera can be reduced in size and cost by reducing the number of parts.

  By changing the setting object by the first operation member when it is detected that subject observation is performed according to the set shooting mode, the setting contents according to the set shooting mode can be changed. It can be carried out. That is, it is not necessary to provide an operation member for performing settings corresponding to each shooting mode.

  The detection means comprises a light-emitting unit and a light-receiving unit that receives light reflected from an object close to the eyepiece of the viewfinder among the light emitted from the light-emitting unit. It is possible to detect whether observation is being performed.

  In the grip part of the camera, a release member that is operated to perform a photographing operation in order from the subject side and a first operation member are arranged to hold the grip part while holding the grip part. The release member and the first operation member can be operated by hand, and the usability of the camera can be improved. In addition, since these members are arranged in order from the subject side, it is possible to operate with different fingers.

  In addition, a second operation member that is operated to set a setting target different from the first operation member is provided, and a release member, a second operation member, By disposing the 1 operation member, the release member and the first and second operation members can be operated with the hand holding the grip portion while holding the grip portion, improving the usability of the cameras and the like.

  Next, the operation (the operation of the microcomputer 101) at the time of changing the setting relating to shooting in the camera of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S <b> 201, the microcomputer 101 determines whether the photographer is looking into the viewfinder eyepiece 2 based on the output from the eyepiece detection circuit 111. Here, when it is determined that the finder eyepiece 2 is not being looked into, the process proceeds to step S203, and when it is determined that it is being looked into, the process proceeds to step S202.

  In step S203, it is determined whether or not the dial 6 is operated based on the output of the dial counter 106. If the dial 6 has not been operated, the process is terminated. If the dial 6 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S205.

  In step S205, the shooting mode setting is changed according to the operation of the dial 6. At this time, the photographer operates the dial 6 while viewing the contents on the display on the external liquid crystal display 7. For example, the shooting mode can be set to the shutter priority AE mode by operating the dial 6, and the desired shutter speed, here, 1/125 can be set by operating the dial 5. The display state on the external liquid crystal display 7 at this time is shown in FIG. 6A, and the display state on the in-finder liquid crystal display 10 is shown in FIG. When the shutter speed is set to 1/125, the aperture value is 8.0.

  On the other hand, in step S202, it is determined whether or not the dial 6 is operated based on the output of the dial counter 106. If the dial 6 has not been operated, the process is terminated. If the dial 6 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S204.

  In step S204, the value to be set according to the shooting mode is changed according to the operation of the dial 6. For example, when the photographer turns the dial 6 in one direction while looking through the finder eyepiece 2 and looking at the finder liquid crystal display 10, the exposure value is shifted by minus one step. The display content is switched from the state shown in FIG. 5A to the state shown in FIG. The display state on the external liquid crystal display 7 at this time is the state shown in FIG.

  According to the camera of this embodiment, the setting content by operating the dial 6 is changed according to whether or not the photographer is looking into the viewfinder eyepiece 2. Thereby, a plurality of types of settings can be performed using one member (dial 6), and the number of parts can be reduced compared to the case where a member corresponding to the setting is provided in the camera body 1, and the size of the camera can be reduced. Cost reduction can be achieved.

  Here, when the shooting mode is set to the manual mode by operating the dial 5, one of the shutter speed and the aperture value can be changed by operating the dial 6, and the operation of the dial 5 is performed when the subject is being observed. Can change the other.

  Further, when the photographing mode is set to the first automatic exposure mode (shutter priority mode) in which the shutter speed is preferentially determined by the operation of the dial 5, the shutter speed can be changed by the operation of the dial 6 so that the subject can be observed. When it is performed, the exposure correction amount can be changed by operating the dial 5. Further, when the shooting mode is set to the second automatic exposure mode (aperture priority mode) in which the aperture value is determined by the operation of the dial 5, the aperture value can be changed by the operation of the dial 6 so that the subject can be observed. When it is performed, the exposure correction amount can be changed by operating the dial 5.

  When the shooting mode is set to the third automatic exposure mode (program AE mode) in which the combination of the shutter speed and the aperture value is automatically set by operating the dial 5, the shutter speed and the aperture are operated by operating the dial 6. The combination of values can be changed, and the exposure correction amount can be changed by operating the dial 5 when the subject is being observed.

  As described above, by operating the dial 5, the shooting mode is changed or the exposure correction amount is changed. For example, the dial 5 is operated with the right thumb with the right index finger on the release button 4. The exposure correction amount can be changed without breaking the posture of holding the camera. Therefore, since it is not necessary to take a picture after holding the camera again in the posture for taking a picture, it is possible to improve the usability of the camera without missing a photo opportunity.
