Abstract

PURPOSE:To make easy and free photographing by a user possible by separating an image pickup part and an operation part, providing a pillar for coupling these two parts and operating the image pickup part only by operating the operation part. CONSTITUTION:An image pickup part 1, operation part 2, pillar 3 to couple the image pickup part 1 and the operation part 2, cable 4 to send the image pickup signal of the image pickup part 1 to the operation part, and electronic view finder 5 are provided and the image pickup part 1 is operated by the operation part 2 on the user side while operating the pillar 3. The image pickup signal is transmitted through the cable 4 to the operation part 2 and projected on the view finder 5 and while observing this signal, a user 6 can execute operations and pick up an image at a high angle in the state of setting the operation part 2 on the user side. Thus, image pickup is easily realized at an angle with the large degree of freedom.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a structure of a video camera that increases the degree of freedom of shooting angles in a video camera and improves operability. ) As disclosed in Publication No. 61-59975, 1 A method in which a camera body and a lens barrel containing an image sensor are separated and the separated two are connected by a cable so that the output of the image sensor can be transmitted to the camera body. [Invention] [Problems to be Solved] The above-mentioned conventional technology does not take into consideration the operability when the camera body and lens barrel are separated, and the user has to operate the two separated parts separately.

An object of the present invention is to separate the image section and the operating section, and to enable the imaging section to be operated only by operating the operating section, so that the user can more easily and freely take photographs. be.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, the imaging section and the operating section are separated, and a support is provided to connect the two. [Function] When the imaging section and the operating section are separated, K. The imaging section increases the degree of freedom. Note that since the two are connected by a support provided between them, the imaging section can be operated using the operating section. Therefore, the user can operate the remote imaging unit with the operating unit at hand, and can easily take pictures freely. [Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to Fig. 1. . 1 is an imaging section, 2 is an operating section, 3 is a support that connects the imaging section and the operating section, 4 is a cable that sends an image signal from the imaging section to the operating section,
Reference numeral 5 indicates an electronic viewfinder 6 for a user. Imaging unit 1
#i By the action of the pillar 5, it can be operated using the operating section 2 at hand. The image signal is transmitted to the operation unit 2 through the cable 4, and is further narrowed to the viewfinder 5, so the user 6 can operate it while looking at it, and can take high-angle images with the operation unit 2 at hand. can.

Furthermore, by making the joints between the support 3 and the imaging unit 1 and the support 3 and the operation unit 2 rotatable, it is possible to take pictures from high angles to low angles, as shown in Figure 2. become.

FIG. 3 Fi is an embodiment in which, in addition to the above embodiment, the length of the support column 3 is made variable like a Rondo antenna. In this case, the degree of clarity is further increased, and at the same time, when the column 6 is not in use, it can be stored short and does not interfere with operability during normal use.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the support column 5% and the cable 4 are detachable. The imaging section 1 and the operating section 2 are directly connected to each other so that image signals can be transmitted. Since the strut 3 and cable 4 are attached only when in use, operability is good and the structure can be simplified.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the imaging section and the operating section are separated and the imaging section can be operated using the operating section held at hand, it is possible to easily take pictures at angles with a large degree of freedom.
