Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display control device for a camera capable of displaying photographing screens having a plurality of aspect ratios in a viewfinder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, although the aspect ratio of the shooting screen (finder shooting screen) displayed in the viewfinder of the camera is substantially the same as the aspect ratio of the exposure screen on the film, The aspect ratio of the created print screen may differ greatly. As an example, the aspect ratio of the commonly used 135-inch in-finder shooting screen is 1.5, while the screen aspect ratio in four-section printing is 1.2.

Due to the difference in screen aspect ratio between the two, there is a possibility that the finished print is different from the intended print. For example, FIG. 17A shows a film exposure screen when the entire subject is placed in the viewfinder shooting screen for shooting, but even if the entire subject is put in the viewfinder shooting screen during shooting as described above, The four-section print obtained from this film has the legs cut as shown in FIG. 17 (b) due to the difference in the screen aspect ratio. ) As shown in (), a blank area is formed on the printing paper.

Similar problems can also occur with slide mounts. In general, when shooting with slide film, the developed film is mounted on the frame one frame at a time, but at this time, the peripheral part of the film exposure screen is covered by the frame, so the visualization screen after mounting was observed with the viewfinder. The image is smaller than the shooting screen at that time, and as a result, an undesired photograph in which a part of the subject has been cut is produced.

As a method for preventing such an inconvenience, it is conceivable that the subject is slightly smaller in the viewfinder photographing screen in consideration of the output form (print form, slide form) at the time of photographing, and the image is taken. However, since there is no index that indicates how large the size should be, it is necessary to rely on intuition, and it is very difficult to determine the optimal composition.

An object of the present invention is to provide a finder control device of a camera capable of setting a finder shooting screen according to a desired output form.

[0007]

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a viewfinder control device for a camera, wherein a first photographing screen having a basic aspect ratio is provided in the viewfinder, and a plurality of aspect ratios corresponding to output modes after photographing are provided. 2 display means for selectively displaying a shooting screen, selection means for selecting one of the first shooting screen and a plurality of second shooting screens, and control means for displaying the selected shooting screen in the viewfinder And a display control means for performing the above-mentioned problems. Further, a finder control device for a camera according to a second aspect of the present invention selectively displays, in the finder, a first shooting screen having a basic aspect ratio and a second shooting screen having an aspect ratio according to an output mode after shooting. The display means, the selection means for selecting either the first shooting screen or the second shooting screen, the selected shooting screen is displayed in the viewfinder, and when the second shooting screen is selected, this first shooting screen is displayed. The display control unit controls the display unit so that the second photographing screen is displayed eccentrically with respect to the first photographing screen. Further, the camera finder control device according to the invention of claim 3 is the same as in claim 2, the display means, the selection means, and the display control means for controlling the display means to display the selected photographing screen in the finder. And, when the second photographing screen is selected, the imprinting control means for imprinting the information on the portion corresponding to the outside of the second photographing screen within the first photographing screen of the film. Still further, the invention according to claim 4 is equipped with display means for selectively displaying a first photographing screen having a basic aspect ratio in the finder and a second photographing screen corresponding to a screen when slide mounting is performed. Detection means for detecting whether or not the film is a slide film, and display control means for controlling the display means to display the second photographing screen in the viewfinder when the detection means detects the slide film. It is equipped with.

[Action]

(1) The invention of claim 1 When any one of the first photographing screen having the basic aspect ratio and the plurality of second photographing screens having the aspect ratio according to the output form is selected, the selected photographing screen is displayed in the viewfinder. It For example, if a screen with an aspect ratio corresponding to four-section printing is selected, a shooting screen with that aspect ratio will be displayed in the viewfinder. When a subject is placed in the displayed photographing screen and photographing is performed, a desired four-section print can be obtained without cutting the subject in the screen and without providing a margin on the printing paper. (2) The invention of claim 2 When any one of the first photographing screen having the basic aspect ratio and the plurality of second photographing screens having the aspect ratio according to the output form is selected, the selected photographing screen is displayed in the viewfinder. In addition, when the second shooting screen is selected, the second shooting screen is displayed eccentrically with respect to the first shooting screen. As a result, for example, when the subject is a person, its face part can be placed closer to the center of the taking lens and the viewfinder optical system, so that the facial expression of the subject can be accurately captured in the viewfinder and the print can be performed. The depiction of the face part at the time is improved, and it becomes easier to focus. (3) Invention of Claim 3 When the second photographing screen is selected, information can be imprinted on a portion of the film corresponding to the inside of the first photographing screen and the outside of the second photographing screen. As a result, for example, a print with information imprinted can be obtained when printing at the service size, and a print with the information recording section cut off when printing in a print form corresponding to the selected second shooting screen. can get. (4) The invention according to claim 4 When it is detected that the loaded film is a slide film, the second shooting screen corresponding to the slide screen is automatically displayed in the viewfinder, so that the operation member is operated one by one. It is not necessary to select the second photographing screen by the operation of, and the usability is improved.

In the figure, 10 is an in-finder shooting screen with an aspect ratio of 1.5 corresponding to the 135-inch screen size, and 11 is information displayed at the bottom of the shooting screen (left side). To shutter speed, aperture value, output form). In the liquid crystal screen display device 3, for example, as shown by hatching in FIGS.
In addition to 0, it is possible to display a plurality of types of aspect ratio shooting screens. Here, the shooting screen 10a (shooting screen 10 in FIG.
Is the screen for slides,
The aspect ratio of the photographing screen 10a is set to be the same as the aspect ratio when the developed film is mounted on the slide frame. That is, the shaded portion corresponds to the portion covered by the frame.

Further, the photographing screens 10b ₁ -shown in FIGS.
The aspect ratio of 10b ₃ is set to 1.2, which corresponds to four-section printing. Further, although not shown, the photographing screen 10c corresponding to the cabinet size (aspect ratio 1.
4) can also be displayed in the viewfinder. Here, in this embodiment, the photographing screen 10a when the masking by the liquid crystal is not performed corresponds to the first photographing screen, and the photographing screens 10a, 10b, 10c when the liquid crystal masking is performed correspond to the second photographing screen.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 21 is a CPU, RAM, R
The arithmetic and control circuit 21 comprises an OM and the like. The arithmetic and control circuit 21 includes a liquid crystal drive device 22 for driving the liquid crystal screen display device 3, a photographing control device 23, a film feeding device 2
4, a finder lower display 25 is connected. In response to a command from the arithmetic and control circuit 21, the photographing control device 23 drives a diaphragm or shutter (not shown) to perform photographing. The film feeding device 24 includes a film feeding motor, a reduction gear mechanism, and the like, and winds and rewinds the film loaded in the camera. The finder lower display 25
The lower view of the finder is displayed as described above.

The switches shown below are connected to the arithmetic control circuit 21. Reference numeral 41 is a half-push switch that is turned on by half-pressing a release button (not shown), and 42 is a full-press switch that is turned on by fully-pressing the release button. Reference numeral 43 denotes an output form selection switch for selecting the above-mentioned output form. For example, in accordance with the operation of the output selection operation member 51 as shown in FIG. 8, “quad cut”, “cabinet”,
Four types of signals indicating "slide" and "none" can be output. Here, “none” indicates that the output form is not considered.

Further, reference numeral 44 in FIG. 1 is a vertical position eccentric switch which is turned on / off by operating the vertical position eccentricity selection operation member 52 in FIG.
For example, the centers of the photographing screens 10a to 10c are aligned with the center of the first screen 10 as shown in FIG. 3, or the second photographing screens 10a to 10c are arranged with respect to the first screen 10 as shown in FIGS. The choice is to make it eccentric. Four
Reference numerals 5 and 46 are well-known mercury switches for detecting the attitude of the camera, and are provided in the camera with inclination as shown in FIG. The on / off states of the switches 45 and 46 corresponding to the posture of the camera (normal horizontal position, right shoulder in vertical position, left shoulder in vertical position, upside down horizontal position) are as shown in FIG. Thus, the arithmetic and control circuit 21 can recognize the attitude of the camera.

Next, the procedure of control by the arithmetic control circuit 21 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. When the film is loaded in the camera, this program will start,
First, in step S100, the process waits until the half-push switch 41 is turned on, and when it is turned on, in step S102, the film feeding device 24 feeds the film in an idle state to be in an exposure-enabled state. In step S104, half-push switch 4
1 is turned on, and when turned on, step S10
At 6, it is determined whether the output form selection switch 43 is on or off. When the output form selection operation member 51 is switched to "none", the switch 43 is turned off. In this case, the liquid crystal mask by the liquid crystal screen display device 3 is cleared in step S108, and the 135 type shooting screen is displayed in the viewfinder. (First shooting screen) 10 is displayed and the process proceeds to step S130.

On the other hand, when the output form selection switch 43 is on, it is determined in step S110 which output form has been selected. If it is "quarter", step S
In 112, the liquid crystal mask corresponding to the four-section is selected and the process proceeds to step S118, and when "cabinet" is selected, similarly, the liquid crystal mask corresponding to the cabinet is selected in step S114 and the process proceeds to step S118. move on. If "slide" is selected, the mask corresponding to the slide is selected in step S116, and the process proceeds to step S128.

In step S118, it is determined whether the vertical position eccentric switch 44 is on or off. When the vertical position eccentric operation member 52 is switched to “present”, the switch 4
4 is on, and in this case, step S120
Then, the attitude of the camera is determined based on the outputs of the mercury switches 45 and 46. In step S122 in the case of the right shoulder, for example, a 10b ₂ (photographing screen eccentric downwardly relative to the first imaging screen 10) upwardly only photographed screen obtained by masking the first shooting screen 10 as shown in FIG. 4 If selected and on the left shoulder, in step S124, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a shooting screen in which only the upper part of the first shooting screen 10 is masked (a shooting screen that is eccentric to the first shooting screen 10 downward). Select 10b ₃ . Lateral position (including upside down)
In this case, in step S126, the photographing screen 10b ₁ with both sides of the photographing screen 10 masked as shown in FIG.
Select. On the other hand, when the vertical position eccentric operation member 52 is switched to "none", the vertical position eccentric switch 44
Is off, and step S118 is denied. In this case, regardless of the posture of the camera as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the process proceeds to step S126 to select the photographing screen 10b ₁ with both sides of the photographing screen 10 masked. To do.

In step S128, the liquid crystal driving device 22
The liquid crystal screen display device 3 is driven via the so as to display the selected photographing screen in the finder and display the lower part of the finder by the display 25. Next, in step S130, if it is determined that the full-press switch 42 is off, the process returns to step S104, and if it is determined to be on, the process proceeds to step S132. In step S132, the photographing control device 2
If the final frame is determined in step S134 and the film feeding device 24 rewinds the entire film to end the processing in step S138, it is determined that the frame is not the final frame. Is step S
At 136, the film frame feed (winding for one frame) is performed, and the process returns to step S104.

According to the above-mentioned procedure, when the half-push switch 41 is turned on after the film is idly fed, the output form commanded by the output form selection switch 43 (slide, four-section, cabinet, output form is not taken into consideration) The second shooting screen corresponding to is selected, and the selected shooting screen is displayed in the viewfinder. Therefore, it is possible to easily and accurately determine the composition without relying on intuition as in the conventional case. That is, when it is known in advance that a four-section print will be created from the frame to be photographed next,
If you select "Quadrant", the shooting screen 10b with an aspect ratio of 1.2 will be displayed in the viewfinder.
If a subject is placed in the displayed shooting screen 10b and shooting is performed, a four-section print with a composition similar to the composition at that time is obtained, and a part of the subject is cut during printing, resulting in an undesired screen. No more blemishes and no blank space on the photographic paper. In addition, in the present embodiment, since the shooting screens corresponding to a plurality of output forms such as cabinets and slides can be displayed in addition to the four cuts, the viewfinder shooting screen can be set according to the output form desired by the photographer.

Further, in this embodiment, when the vertical position eccentric switch 45 is on and the camera is in the vertical position, the second photographing screen (either 10b or 10c) is displayed as shown in FIGS. Since it is displayed eccentrically downward with respect to the first photographing screen, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, when shooting with the camera held vertically, there are generally many portraits, and in this portrait, it is desirable that the face portion be best depicted when printing, and focusing during shooting is also mainly used. It is done on the face. On the other hand, the depiction of the shooting lens and the viewability of the viewfinder shooting screen are better at the center of the screen. Therefore, when the second shooting screen is eccentrically displayed downward as described above, the face portion of the subject can be arranged closer to the center of the shooting lens or the finder optical system than when the second shooting screen is not eccentric. As a result, the facial expression of the subject can be accurately captured in the viewfinder, the depiction of the face portion can be improved, and focusing can be easily performed. Note that the second shooting screen may be displayed eccentrically with respect to the first shooting screen even when the camera is held in the horizontal position.

In the configuration of the above embodiment, the display driving device 22 and the liquid crystal screen display device 3 serve as display means, the output form selection switch 43 and the arithmetic control circuit 21 serve as selection means, and the arithmetic control circuit 21 serves as display control means. Configure each.

-Second Embodiment- Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 shows a block diagram in this embodiment, and the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 12, 26 is an imprinting control unit, 27 is an imprinting information input unit, and LED modules 28 and 29 are connected to the imprinting control unit 26. These LEDs
The modules 28 and 29 have a well-known LED for imprinting, a liquid crystal for imprinting, etc., which are well known, and are provided on a pressure plate 60 for pressing the film against the aperture AP as shown in FIG. The installation position of each LED module 28, 29 is
Corresponding to the portions corresponding to both ends of the aperture AP, that is, in the viewfinder, the portions masked by the liquid crystal screen display device 3 when the above-mentioned "cut into four" and "cabinet" are selected (hatched portions in FIG. 3). It is the position to do. Further, the imprint input unit 27 is composed of, for example, a plurality of keys provided on the back cover, and the character information desired by the photographer can be input by operating the keys.

Next, the operation of imprinting will be described. The photographer inputs desired information (date, characters, symbols, etc.) through the imprint input unit 27. When "four-cut" or "cabinet" is selected by the output mode selection switch 43 described above, the arithmetic control circuit 21 performs a photographing operation when the full-press switch 42 is turned on, and the input information is displayed. Accordingly, the liquid crystals of the LED modules 28 and 29 are driven, and then the LEDs are turned on for a predetermined time. As a result, the input information is imprinted on the film. The part to be imprinted is on both sides of the film exposure screen, more specifically,
A portion corresponding to the mask portion of the finder photographing screen (a portion inside the first photographing screen and outside the second photographing screen).

According to this, for example, when the enlargement is performed at the service size, a print in which information is imprinted on both ends of the screen can be obtained, which is convenient when confirming the state at the time of photographing later. Is. On the other hand, when the image is greatly cut into quarters or the size of a cabinet, the portion in which the information is recorded is cut, so that characters are not included in the print, and it is a good enemy to display in a room, for example.

When the vertical position eccentricity is selected, L
Only one of the ED modules 28 and 29 (the one corresponding to the masked side) may be driven to perform the imprinting.

Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14 shows a block diagram in this embodiment, which is the same as FIG. 1 except that a film information input device 70 is provided. As is well known, the film information input device 70 inputs film information (ISO sensitivity, number of shots, latitude, etc.) from the DX code of the film cartridge to the arithmetic control circuit 21. Further, in the present embodiment, by operating the output mode selection switch 43, "four-cut",
Two print modes of "cabinet" can be selected, and there is no function of selecting "slide" by the switch 43.

FIG. 15 shows a procedure of control by the arithmetic control circuit 21. This control is performed by step S1 of FIG.
Step S105 is added between 04 and S106, and the above step S110 is changed to step S110 '. The process after step S112 is shown in FIG.
Since it is the same as that of 1, the illustration is omitted.

When it is determined in step S104 that the half-push switch 41 is turned on, in step S105, the loaded film is a negative film based on the information indicating the latitude in the film information input from the film information input device 70. Or slide film. That is, since the negative film and the slide film have greatly different latitudes (large for negative, small for slide), it is possible to judge whether the film is a negative film or a slide film based on this latitude information. If it is a negative film, the process proceeds to step S106, and if it is a slide film, the process proceeds to step S116. In step S116, the mask corresponding to the slide is selected as described above, and then the process proceeds to step S128. On the other hand, in step S110 ′, it is determined which of the “four-cut” and “cabinet” selection commands have been issued by the output form selection switch 43. If “four-cut”, the process proceeds to step S112. It proceeds to step S114.

According to the above procedure, when it is detected that the loaded film is a slide film,
Since the viewfinder shooting screen for slide (second shooting screen) is automatically selected, it is not necessary to perform the operation for displaying the shooting screen for slide one by one, and the usability is improved.

In the above-mentioned first to third embodiments, an example using a finder having a field of view of 100% is shown. However, in the case of a finder having a field of view of less than 100%, this is taken into consideration. The range of the liquid crystal mask should be decided. For example, in FIG.
Shows an example using a finder with a field of view of 93%. In this case, a range 10d wider than the first photographing screen 10 is exposed on the film, and as shown in the figure, a predetermined vertical and horizontal direction is applied to this range 10d. The range of the liquid crystal mask may be determined so as to obtain the ratio.

Further, in the above, the example in which the photographing screen can be displayed in accordance with the cutout, the cabinet size and the slide is shown, but the photographing screen according to other output forms may be displayed. In particular, when an output form having an aspect ratio of more than 1.5 (four-section, cabinet has an aspect ratio of less than 1.5) is selected, the liquid crystal mask is used so that the short side direction of the photographing screen 10 is filled. You can do it like this. Further, the liquid crystal masked portion may be made visible to some extent, or may be completely invisible. Furthermore, instead of the liquid crystal mask, a light-shielding plate may be taken in and out of the aperture to switch the screen size.
The present invention can also be applied to a perspective viewfinder other than the viewfinder of a single-lens reflex camera. Furthermore, when taking into account the fact that the inner side of the subject image on the film is framed with an easel when printing, the viewfinder shooting screen is also slightly masked to display a shooting screen that is smaller than the above example. You can do it.

[0032]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first photographing screen having the basic aspect ratio and the photographing screen selected from the plurality of second photographing screens having the aspect ratio according to the output form after photographing are displayed in the viewfinder. Since it can be displayed inside, the photograph can be easily taken on the viewfinder photographing screen according to the output form, and the desired print can be obtained without being cut undesirably in any output form. Further, according to the invention of claim 2, when the second photographing screen is selected, the second photographing screen is displayed eccentrically with respect to the first photographing screen, so that when the subject is a person. The face of the subject can be placed closer to the center of the shooting lens or viewfinder optical system, allowing you to accurately capture the facial expression of the subject in the viewfinder and improve the depiction of the face when printing. However, focusing becomes easy. Further claim 3
According to the invention, when the second shooting screen is selected,
Since the information can be imprinted on the portion corresponding to the outside of the second photographing screen within the first photographing screen of the film, for example, when the enlargement is performed at the service size, the information is imprinted on the screen. While a printout can be obtained and it is convenient to check the condition at the time of shooting later, when the image is stretched in the selected output form (for example, quartered or cabinet size), the part where the information is recorded is cut. Since the print does not contain information, it is a good enemy to display in a room, for example. Further, according to the invention of claim 4, when it is detected that the loaded film is a slide film, the second photographing screen for slide is automatically displayed in the viewfinder. It is not necessary to perform the operation to display the slide shooting screen, which improves usability.
