Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a camera-integrated recording and reproducing device, and particularly relates to improving the operability and power saving of the device.

(Prior Art) In conventional camera-integrated recording and reproducing devices, the operating members of the recording and reproducing section are exposed to the outside when taking a picture, so when taking a picture,
Occasionally, I would accidentally touch the operating member dedicated to the recording/playback section, resulting in failures in taking pictures.

Furthermore, when using only the functions of the recording and playback section, such as recording and playback of broadcast signals, the camera section, which is unrelated to the functions of the recording and playback section, is always powered on, resulting in high power consumption. .

(Purpose) It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional examples and to provide a camera-integrated recording and reproducing device that has good operability and low power consumption.

(Explanation based on Examples) Hereinafter, the means taken in the present invention to achieve the above object will be exemplified and explained using Examples shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 designates a main body of the camera-integrated recording and reproducing apparatus, 2 a camera section, 3 a recording and reproducing section, 4 a power switch interlocked with an erroneous operation prevention cover for an operating member dedicated to the recording and reproducing section, which will be described later, and 5 a power supply.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a camera-integrated recording and reproducing apparatus having the configuration described in FIG. 1, and shows a state in which the camera is taking pictures. 21 is the main body of the camera-integrated recording and reproducing device, 22 is the viewfinder of the camera section, 2
3 is a photographing lens of the camera section, 24 is a trigger button for camera shooting, 25 is a cover for preventing erroneous operation for the operation member dedicated to the recording/playback section, and the groove 25 of the main body 21 is
It can be slid up and down along a. When taking a picture with the camera, the erroneous operation prevention cover 25 is slid downward to prevent the operating member for the recording and reproducing section from being operated by mistake. Even if you come into contact with it, there is no problem with taking pictures. In addition, 2
Reference numeral 7 denotes operation members dedicated to the camera section, such as an auto white balance setting button and a back light control button, which are arranged at positions that are exposed when the cover 25 is slid downward.

FIG. 3 shows a case where the camera section is deactivated and only the functions of the recording and reproducing section are used. When operating the recording and reproducing section, slide the erroneous operation prevention cover 25 upwards and remove the operating member 26 for the recording and reproducing section.
This is done by operating. At this time, in conjunction with the upward sliding of the erroneous operation prevention cover 25, the power switch (4 in FIG. 1) to the camera section is turned off. This greatly helps in reducing power consumption when only the functions of the recording and reproducing section are used.

In addition, FIGS. 2 and 3 show the sliding mechanism of the erroneous operation prevention cover 25, the locking mechanism of the cover 25 in each position when taking a camera and when using the recording/playback unit alone,
Although a power switch operation mechanism and the like that are linked to the erroneous operation prevention cover 25 are not shown, no special mechanism is required and a conventional mechanism can be used.

(Effects) According to the present invention as described above, as a camera-integrated recording and reproducing device, there is no fear of erroneous operation of the operating member dedicated to the recording and reproducing section when taking pictures with the camera.
Further, when only the function of the recording/reproducing section is used, unnecessary power consumption is prevented, and the practical effect thereof is enormous.
