[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portrait photographing apparatus in which a photographed person sits on a chair in front of an optical lens of the photographing apparatus and photographs his / her own state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Box-type portrait photography devices that make photographs for identification or passports are placed in department stores, convenience stores, street corners, etc. and are generally used. In such a simplified image-capturing device, the subject, who is the subject, sits on a chair provided in front of the fixed image-capturing device main body, and the eye position is aligned with the face position confirmation mark provided on the image-capturing device. The chair height was adjusted to, the sitting position was confirmed, and this operation was repeated when adjusting the chair height several times. In particular, it was complicated to get an accurate position within the shooting range of my upper body.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, adjusting the height of the pedestal of the stool is complicated for the subject to adjust the position of his eyes.Stand away from the pedestal, adjust the height of the chair, sit down, and I had to check the position of and repeat this operation several times. Therefore, it is very troublesome to adjust the height of the chair, and the adjustment is made by an inexperienced photographer, so that the photographing range is not accurate and there are many irregularities. The present invention provides a simplified portrait photographing device capable of adjusting the photographing range while the subject is sitting on a chair during the portrait photographing as described above. The purpose of this invention is to provide a simplified portrait photographing device in which the photographing device body can be adjusted to an arbitrary position while the subject himself / herself is sitting on the chair without moving and the photographing range can be confirmed while photographing. Is.

The object of the present invention is to provide a portrait photographing apparatus having a photographing apparatus main body having an optical system for guiding an image of a subject to a photographing device, the portrait photographing device being arranged at a position facing the subject. , The position confirmation means having a mark for displaying the image of the subject and for confirming the position of the eyes of the subject, and the eye height of the subject of the image and the mark of the position confirmation means are matched by this position confirmation means. To drive the position confirmation means without moving the subject, and by operating this drive mechanism, the photographing apparatus main body and / or the position confirmation means are moved up and down and / or rotated in the lying-down direction. This can be achieved by the configuration that can be done. In particular, the above object can be achieved by providing a monitor means for displaying the range in which an image of the subject can be recorded on the monitor and for confirming the photographing range of the subject so that the subject can visually confirm the photographing range of the subject.

[0005]

[Action]

 The portrait photography device of this invention operates the operation member at hand while the subject is sitting on the chair in front of the shooting range, and controls the drive mechanism by a simple operation such as pressing multiple switches. , By moving the optical axis of the camera such as the optical camera or electronic camera of the camera to move the position of the mark on the position confirmation means of the camera, the subject itself moves within the proper range for shooting the subject. Can be adjusted without Remotely operate the image capturing device and / or position confirmation means while the subject is sitting on the chair, without the subject having to leave the chair or adjust the eye height and the shooting range by sitting down as in the past. It is possible to operate the driving mechanism of the photographic device main body by the control signal according to to move the photographic device main body, and to shoot while confirming the proper photographic range of the subject in the photographic device.

 FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view of a portrait photographing apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic explanatory view showing another second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory view of a third embodiment, and FIG. It is a schematic explanatory drawing of 4th Example. Reference numeral 2 is a main body of the photographing apparatus, which has a built-in photographing device 3 such as an optical camera or an electronic camera, and a half mirror 5 is placed at a predetermined position in a position facing the mirror 4 and the subject 1 which make an image enter the optical lens of the photographing device 3. It is arranged. A part of the half mirror 5 is provided with a viewpoint 6 for displaying the eye height position of the subject 1 within the photographing range h of the camera 3 as a mark. The half mirror 5 is used by the subject 1 to confirm the photographing range h of the photographing device 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a vertical drive mechanism having a built-in servo motor or the like controlled by a control signal from a remote control operating rod 8 operated by the subject 1. Reference numeral 10 denotes a fixed chair provided at the shooting position of the subject 1. Reference numeral 11 denotes a rotary drive mechanism for integrally swinging the mirror 4 and the half mirror 5 up and down, and includes a servo motor or the like controlled by operating the remote control operating rod 8 of the subject 1.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a rotation drive unit that swings the photographing device 3 and the photographing device main body 2, and is configured to rotate about the upper portion of the photographing device main body 2 as a fulcrum, and operates the remote control rod 8 of the subject 1. The rotation drive is controlled by. The position of the light source 13, for example, a red light source, provided in the photographing device 3 is rotated to illuminate the half mirror 5 with the position point of the half mirror 5, and the position of the eye of the subject 1 is matched with this position as the viewpoint position 6. Then, the position of the photographing apparatus main body 2 can be adjusted to check the appropriate photographing range h. Reference numeral 14 is a rotation drive unit that rotates the photographing device 3 and the photographing device main body 2. The subject 1 operates the remote control operating rod 8 to rotate the optical axis of the photographing device 3 up and down, left and right, and the photographing range of the subject 1.
