Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple box-type image pickup apparatus capable of easily moving into and out of a photographing room and exchanging subjects in a short time capable of photographing in an upright position.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The object of the present invention is to provide a photographing section for printing a subject image photographed by an electronic camera having a CCD built in the photographing apparatus on a photographic paper, an ejection port for cutting and ejecting after cutting to a predetermined length, a coin insertion port, etc. In an imaging device with an opaque plate wall formed at a position facing the electronic camera, the ceiling part is covered with a light-transmissive plate to form a ceiling plate, and both sides are open so that the human body can pass freely. The feature can be achieved by drawing a pattern of a person's foot on the bottom surface and photographing the head-and-face portion with the electronic camera in a standing posture. The ceiling plate may be colored in smoke and formed in an arch shape between the upper side of the side wall and the plate wall on which the photographing unit is fixed.

[0005]

[Action]

 In particular, since the electronic camera with a built-in CCD in the photographing section has a wide photographing angle of view and a short focal length, it is possible to easily obtain a clear facial photograph of a person depending on the standing posture of the subject. The simple box-type photographic device of this invention is open so that both sides can freely go in and out, and the ceiling is made of a transparent plate, so the inside of the photographic room is bright and the face is illuminated by the influence of external light. One lighting is enough. In addition, since indirect light from both sides of the subject also enters the back of the subject, unpleasant shadows around the image of the person (face photo) taken can be reduced without the need for a specific illumination lamp, and It will be a favorite photo.

In particular, the simple box type photographing device of the present invention can photograph in a short time when a large number of people gather at a playground or the like, can issue an admission ticket, etc., and since the waiting time is on both sides of the entrance, Shooting is possible by simply entering from one side, stopping, inserting a coin, and pressing the operation button.After the shooting, you can exit from the opposite side from the entrance, so people flow continuously and for a short time. You can get the picture to.
