Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a continuous photographing camera for performing a plurality of photographing operations by one release operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows a conventional example. The description will be made below with reference to this figure.

[0005] Reference numeral 101 denotes a shutter device having a plurality of openings, which is connected to a control circuit 102 and performs an exposure operation by a signal from the control circuit 102.

The control circuit 102 is connected to a photographing interval setting means 103 for giving photographing interval information and a release switch 104.

The operation of such a conventional example will be described.

When the release switch 104 is operated, the control circuit 102 drives the shutter device 101 on the basis of photographing conditions determined by information from a photometer (not shown) or the like so that a plurality of openings are sequentially exposed. Done. First
The second exposure operation subsequent to the first exposure operation is performed after a certain period t1 has elapsed from the first exposure operation (FIG. 4). Here, the cycle t1 and the later-described times t2 to t4 are determined by shooting interval information set in the shooting interval setting unit 103 prior to shooting. Thereafter, the third, fourth, and fifth exposure operations are similarly performed at predetermined photographing intervals t2, t3, and t4, and the operation ends.

[0007]

In the prior art, it was not possible to confirm whether the photographing interval was appropriate for the movement of the subject, and it was difficult to set the photographing interval. (FIG. 5) Even when the setting of the photographing interval is appropriate, the time from when the release switch 104 is operated to when the first exposure operation is performed due to the operation time of the control circuit 102, the initial operation time of the shutter device 101, and the like. Because of the deviation, some skill was required to operate the release switch 104 and adjust the shooting timing (FIG. 6). Further, in the conventional apparatus, it was not possible to know when the photographing was started on the side to be photographed. Furthermore, after development baking,
I didn't know if it was appropriate until I saw the picture. Therefore, the present invention provides a means for confirming whether the setting of the shooting interval and the shooting timing are appropriate for the subject, setting the shooting interval and adjusting the shooting timing easily, and matching the shooting on the subject side. It is an object to provide means for recognizing the interval.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a first display corresponding to a first shooting timing and a last shooting timing corresponding to a first shooting timing among a plurality of shootings performed by one release operation. A display means for performing a second display corresponding to the above is provided in the vicinity of the finder, and a means for emitting a sound at least simultaneously with the first display is provided. It has the structure which has.

[0009]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The control circuit 2 has the same configuration as that of the conventional example except that it is connected to the display means 5, the monitor switch 6, and the sound generation means 7 which are arranged around the viewfinder and at the same time as the subject. The operation in this configuration will be described. When the release switch 4 is operated, the control circuit 2 selects one of a photographing mode in which actual photographing is performed and a monitor mode in which photographing is not actually performed, depending on the state of the monitor switch 6.

When the monitor switch 6 is OFF, the camera is in the photographing mode, and the exposure operation is performed a predetermined number of times as in the prior art, and the operation ends. When the monitor switch 6 is ON, the monitor mode is set, and the operation at this time is shown in FIG. The display means 5 performs a first display such as lighting an LED at a timing corresponding to the first exposure operation in accordance with a signal from the control circuit 2. At the same time, the sound generator 7 emits a sound. At this time, since the control circuit 2 does not output a signal to the shutter device 1, the actual exposure operation is not performed. Thereafter, the control circuit 2 outputs a signal to the display means 5 based on the information from the photographing interval setting means 3 to cause the second display to be performed at a timing corresponding to the last exposure operation.

As described above, according to this embodiment, by setting the monitor switch 6 to ON and selecting the monitor mode, the setting of the photographing interval and the photographing timing are appropriate for a series of operations of a moving subject. Since it is possible to confirm whether or not it is possible, it is easy to set the photographing interval and adjust the photographing timing. The start of shooting can also be confirmed on the subject side by sound.

According to this embodiment, display is performed by the display means only when the monitor switch is turned on. However, when the monitor switch is turned off, the display may be performed simultaneously with the exposure operation. At this time, it is possible to confirm whether the photographing was performed as intended by the photographer. Further, the monitor switch may be used for display without using the release switch 4, and the above display may be performed directly when the monitor switch is turned on.

As means for calling attention to a subject, light may be used instead of sound.

In this embodiment, the LED is displayed twice during the first and last exposure operations. However, the LED may be turned on at the first exposure operation and turned off at the last exposure operation. .

Further, it is more effective if the switch block 8 is separated from the control circuit 8 and arranged on the object side so that the remote controller can be operated.

In this case, it is preferable that the display means 5 and the sound generating means 7 are also built in the switch block 8.

[0017]

According to the structure of the present invention, the setting of the photographing interval and the photographing timing can be performed for a series of motions of the moving subject.
Since you can check whether it is appropriate, set the shooting interval,
The shooting timing can be easily adjusted, and shooting with few errors can be performed.
