Description

  The present invention relates to an attachment used by being attached to a camera.

  The spread of mobile phones in recent years is remarkable. One of the factors is the popularity of camera phones.

A mobile phone with a camera is literally a mobile phone with a camera. Such a camera-equipped mobile phone camera incorporates an image pickup means normally formed by a CCD (charge coupled device) in a case of a general mobile phone, and is exposed from a case at a predetermined position of the case. In such a state, a camera lens that guides image light to the imaging unit is provided.
The camera-equipped mobile phone can take a photo by such a configuration.

A camera-equipped mobile phone has a function that enables a user to easily take a picture with a mobile phone that is often carried around. A camera-equipped mobile phone also attaches a photograph taken with the camera-equipped mobile phone to an e-mail realized by the e-mail function provided by the mobile phone, thereby allowing other devices to use the power of other devices. In many cases, it has a function not available in ordinary cameras that can be transmitted without borrowing. These characteristic functions provide new enjoyment that a general camera does not have.
By having such a characteristic function, the mobile phone with a camera has succeeded in stimulating the user's playfulness and has been widely spread to young people who have many opportunities to take pictures.

In view of such a current situation, it can be understood that there is something that further stimulates the playfulness of the user in order to further promote the use of camera-equipped mobile phones.
Considering these points, researches are being conducted to give camera phones with functions that further stimulate the sense of fun of the user.
For example, images that could be captured with a camera-equipped mobile phone were previously only still images, but now it is also possible to capture moving images and frame-by-frame images. Also, a recent camera mobile phone has a function of storing a predetermined image in a memory built in the camera mobile phone and synthesizing it with an image captured by the camera mobile phone.

One measure for stimulating the user's playfulness is to change the image that can be captured by the camera-equipped mobile phone. From this point of view, the present applicant has developed a certain attachment.
This attachment is equipped with an optical element that can give a new effect to a picture taken with a camera built into the camera-equipped mobile phone, and can be used by being detachably attached to the camera-equipped mobile phone. Yes.
The optical element included in such an attachment has some effect on an image obtained by taking an image with a camera, and includes a magnifying lens, a close-up lens, a fisheye lens, a polarizing filter, a diffraction grating, a sepia color, and the like. A colored filter that gives a photograph to a photograph. Therefore, by attaching such an optical element to the camera-equipped mobile phone, it is possible to give some effect to the image taken by the camera built in the camera-equipped mobile phone, which is suitable for stimulating the playfulness of the user.
However, although such an attachment is useful, it is also conceivable that it may interfere with the operation of the shutter button of the camera when it is attached to a camera-equipped mobile phone.

  The present invention improves an attachment for attaching an effect imparting element capable of giving an effect to an image picked up by a camera such as a camera-equipped mobile phone so as not to interfere with the operation of the shutter button. That is the issue.

The present invention for solving such a problem is used by being attached to a camera including a lens that allows image light to pass through and a shutter button that is a switch that performs imaging, and has some effect on an image captured by the camera. It is an attachment for attaching the effect imparting element for imparting to the camera.
And this attachment is intended to be detachably fixed to the main body and the camera, and a fixing means provided on the main body and a base end of a predetermined release can be attached, A release holding means provided on the main body so as to be close to the shutter button when the main body is attached to the camera, and to be positioned in front of the lens when the main body is attached to the camera. And an effect imparting element that imparts some effect to an image captured by the camera.
Since such an attachment allows the effect imparting element to be positioned in front of the lens of the camera by attaching it to the camera, by using this attachment, an effect can be given to an image captured by the camera.
Further, since this attachment is provided with a release holding means, and the release can be attached, the operability of the shutter button is not hindered.
The “camera” in the present invention may be a single camera such as a digital camera, a mobile phone with a camera (in this specification, the mobile phone includes “PHS”), a PDA with a camera, and the like. It may be a multi-function product having a camera.

If the release holding means is configured to be able to hold the base end of the release, the specific configuration thereof is not questioned. Although only the base end of the release dedicated to the attachment may be held, it is convenient if the base end of a commercially available release can be held.
For example, the release holding unit may be configured to expose the shutter button in a state that the user can operate by hand when the base end of the release is not attached thereto. In this case, even when the release holding means is not attached to the release holding means, the operation of the shutter button is not hindered.
The release holding means is configured to be detachable from the main body, and by removing it from the main body, the shutter button can be exposed so that a user can operate it by hand. It doesn't matter.

The effect imparting element may be any element as long as it gives some effect to an image obtained by imaging with a camera. For example, a magnifying lens, a close-up lens, a fisheye lens, a polarizing filter, a diffraction grating, a colored filter that gives a photograph a color such as sepia can be used.
The effect applying element may be configured to be detachable from the main body. By doing in this way, since an effect provision element can be replaced | exchanged, various effects come to be given to the image imaged with a camera.

A camera screw nut may be provided on the main body.
If this attachment is used, the camera can be fixed to a camera screw bolt included in a tripod or other products, so that imaging can be performed in a stable state. Further, there is a possibility that convenience can be enjoyed by connecting a tripod or other products to a camera, for example, a camera-equipped mobile phone. Further, this attachment is convenient in that the camera can be fixed to an existing tripod since it can be fixed to a general tripod that is usually provided with a camera screw bolt. Especially when the camera is a multi-functional product such as a camera-equipped mobile phone, it is normal that the camera itself does not have a camera screw nut, so the camera should be mounted on a tripod that is often used when using a release. There are many benefits in that it can be fixed.
In the specification of the present application, the term “camera screw bolt” means a bolt among nuts and nuts generally called camera screws, and the term “camera screw nut” generally means camera screws. It means a nut among the bolts and nuts called. The camera screw is generally a 13 inch screw.
