Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is constructed such that, during remote control photography or self-timer photography, the camera body is erected by using a back cover attached to the back of the camera body without using a tripod. Regarding the camera.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is necessary for a camera to be stable and self-supporting during self-timer photography, remote control photography, and the like.

The most commonly used method for this purpose is to mount the camera on a tripod as an accessory, but the tripod is heavy and bulky, and it is very troublesome to carry it when going out.

Although the camera may be placed directly on a table or the like indoors, when the finder is looked into, the table or the like is an obstacle, and it is difficult to adjust the view of the finder. Also,
There are few flat stands outdoors, and it is difficult to place the camera stably.

For these reasons, it has been conventionally considered to provide the camera body with legs or the like for raising the camera.

For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 47-36329 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-137337, a configuration is used in which the lens cover for covering the taking lens is rotated to the bottom side to use the lens cover as one leg. Although disclosed, since the camera body is supported by one surface having a limited size, it is extremely unstable and can be placed only on a flat surface.

Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 55-95120 discloses a camera with a tripod having three legs on the bottom surface, and a three-point support, which is a basic form for supporting an object, is formed by the three legs. Therefore, the stability is higher than the one leg described above. However, since the fulcrum of one leg is located at the center of the bottom surface of the main body, the length of the leg is limited by the lateral width of the camera, and there is a drawback that the grounding interval of the legs is small and sufficient stability cannot be obtained. are doing. Further, if the legs can be extended to increase the ground contact distance of the legs, the number of parts increases and the mechanism becomes complicated.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional camera, when the camera is grounded, it does not have sufficient proof strength against the force from above, and the release button provided on the camera body from above as in the self-timer photographing. When directly operating, there was a risk that the legs would be deformed or the framing would change if carelessly applying a large force. Furthermore, it is difficult to change the angle formed by the optical axis of the taking lens and the ground plane, that is, the elevation angle, while giving the leg a predetermined proof strength.

Further, a plurality of comments and a comment code corresponding to each comment are determined in advance, and the selected desired comment code is input to the camera at the time of shooting, so that only the desired comment code is optically recorded on the film in the camera. There is known an invention in which a corresponding comment is recorded on a print based on a comment code recorded on a film at a photofinishing laboratory by magnetically or magnetically recording.

[0010]

In view of the above problems, the present invention makes it possible to raise the camera without taking a tripod so that self-timer photographing and remote control photographing can be performed comfortably, and the legs can be grounded with a simple mechanism. The present invention proposes a camera in which an interval can be set sufficiently wide, a subject can be stably looked up, and an elevation angle can be changed.

If a comment code corresponding to a comment selected from a large number of comments is input to the camera, it is difficult for the photographer to remember which comment corresponds to which comment code. If you do not bring the instruction manual to the shooting site,
If you lose the instruction manual, it will be difficult to record comments. It is also an object of the present invention to solve this problem.

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a back cover which is openable in at least one of left direction, right direction and upward direction on a back portion of a camera body, and is opened. And a camera characterized by standing up the camera body by the bottom surface of the camera body for shooting, at least a back cover that can be opened in either the left direction or the right direction is hinged to the back surface of the camera body, In conjunction with the opening operation of the case back, a leg portion is projected from the bottom surface portion of the camera body, and the camera body is erected using the leg portion, or a left direction, a right direction, A back cover that can be opened in at least one of the upper direction and the lower direction is attached to the back of the camera body by a butterfly, and a comment table that codes a plurality of comments and the comments is displayed on the back cover, and a photograph is taken Time Camera, characterized in that the comment code corresponding to a comment to be recorded with the image selected from said control table input is achieved by.

[0013]

Embodiments of the camera of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

First, the basic structure of the camera in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a front view of the camera, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the camera seen from the bottom, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the camera seen from the back.

As shown in FIG. 1, a lens barrel 2 having a built-in photographic lens, a finder window 3, a distance measuring window 4, a photometric window 5 and a flash light emitting section 6 are provided on the front surface 1a of the camera body 1. There is. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a release button 7 and a main switch button 8 are provided on the upper surface 1b of the camera body 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a bottom cover 1c of the camera body 1 is provided with a cartridge cover 9, and the cartridge cover 9 is opened to insert / remove the cartridge P containing the film into / from the cartridge chamber 10. To do. When the patrone P is inserted into the patrone chamber 10 and the patrone lid 9 is closed, the film is pulled out from the patrone P and is automatically wound one frame at a time for each photographing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an eyepiece window 11 is provided on the rear surface 1d of the camera body 1.

It is to be noted that the structure is not limited to the structure in which the cartridge P is loaded from the bottom surface portion 1c, and it does not affect the gist of the present invention even if it is loaded from any surface.

Here, as will be described later, the camera body 1 has a built-in CPU and supports various comments such as "new year", "wedding", "birthday", and "christmas" as shown in FIG. The comment code is stored in memory. Further, this comment code is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 12 provided on the back surface 1d of the camera body 1, and by pressing the up button 13 and the down button 14 which are operation sections, an arbitrary comment code is selected and displayed. be able to. After the comment code is selected and the release button 7 is pressed, the comment code is recorded optically or magnetically for each frame of the film. Then, during the print processing, the comment code is converted into a corresponding comment and recorded as a visible comment on the photographic paper.

As described above, if only the comment code is recorded on the film, a large number of comments can be stored as compared with the conventional camera which directly records the comments on the film. However, it is difficult for the user to remember which comment code corresponds to which comment. Further, even if the instruction manual is described, there is a trouble that the user has to carry the instruction manual with him at the time of shooting, and if the instruction manual is lost, it becomes impossible to enter a comment.

In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, the hinge 15 provided on the main body 1 is used to hinge the back cover 21 so that it can be opened and closed, and the comment code as shown in FIG. And the comparison table 22 of the comment are displayed. Thus, when the back cover 21 is opened, the comment code corresponding to the comment to be recorded can be immediately known, and the comment code of the comment to be recorded can be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 12 by the up button 13 and the down button 14. Moreover, since the window 21a is provided in the back cover, even if the back cover 21 is closed,
Along with the eyepiece lens window 11, the liquid crystal display section 12 is not covered and can be visually recognized.

In the camera of this embodiment, as described above, unlike the conventional camera in which the cartridge P is inserted / removed from the back side, the cartridge P is inserted / removed from the bottom surface of the camera body 1, so that the back cover 21 is closed. There is no problem in inserting and removing the Patrone P.

The comparison table 22 may be directly displayed on the back cover 21 by printing or the like, but considering not only domestic use but also overseas use,
If you use a camera that can record comments in English, German, French, etc. in addition to Japanese, the comparison table 2
However, it is difficult to describe all of them because the size of the control table 22 is limited. Therefore, it is desirable to prepare a comparison table for each language and exchange it appropriately. For example, the reference table 22 may be a sticker and the reference table 22 in the necessary language may be attached to the back cover 21, or a card may be attached to and detached from the thickness direction with respect to the back cover 21, and only the reference table 22 in the required language. It is conceivable that the charging is carried out.

The card may be attached by a magnet.

Further, there is a method of automatically identifying the comparison table 22 composed of stickers or cards in which different comments are described. For example, as shown in Table 1, languages are classified into 3 bits to represent 8 kinds of languages.

[0026]

[Table 1]

FIG. 5 is a language-based comparison table consisting of stickers or cards. FIG. 5 (A) is a Japanese comparison table, FIG. 5 (B) is an English comparison table, and FIG. 5 (C) is a German word. Contrast table,

According to Table 1, a notch for identifying a seal or a card type is provided at the lower right of the comparison table as shown in FIG. 5, and is attached or inserted at the position of the comparison table 22 in FIG. In this control table, the surface is coated to have a high reflectance, and the inner surface of the back cover 21 is formed to have a low reflectance by a matte coating. on the other hand,
When the case back is closed, three reflective photocouplers 16a,
A detector 16 composed of 16b and 16c is provided, the CPU identifies which language of Table 1 the reflectance is high or low, and a language code corresponding to the automatically identified language is added to the selected comment code to add to the film. Record.

The reason why three reflective photocouplers are used is that there are eight languages, and the number of reflective photocouplers may be changed according to the number of languages.

In contrast to the above, the reflectance of the surface of the reference table may be low and the reflectance of the inner surface of the back cover 21 may be high.

Further, holes may be formed in the reference table instead of the notches, or a plurality of patterns having different reflectances may be arranged according to Table 1 without forming the notches or holes in the reference table.

In the above example, the control table 22
Was attached to the inner surface of the back cover 21, and a photocoupler was arranged at a position facing the notch on the rear surface of the camera body as a detection means for detecting the notch as the type display means displayed in the comparison table 22. It is not limited to this. That is, the photocoupler is built in the back cover 21,
You may detect the classification | category display (for example, notch) of the comparison table mounted | worn with the inner surface or outer surface of 1.

Further, the type indication can be detected electrically instead of optically. That is, it is also possible to form a plurality of conductive patterns as a type display on the reference table and detect these patterns by the electrical contacts.

FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of the camera of this embodiment. Only the main part will be described, and those already described are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

The CPU 70 not only stores the comment code but also controls various circuits. A switch 71 for generating a signal M1 is a switch for changing an exposure mode such as a flash automatic light emission mode, a flash ON mode, and a flash OFF mode, and a switch 72 for generating a signal M2.

The feature of the present embodiment is that a photographing mode display section 51 made of liquid crystal is provided on the back surface of the camera body 1, and the photographing mode can be corrected and selected by the photographing mode correction buttons 52 and 53. The back cover 54 provided on the side of the shooting mode display unit 51 is formed at a low height so as not to cover the shooting mode display unit 51 even if it is closed, and the shooting mode represented by a symbol on the inner surface is the shooting mode. The symbol and the photographing mode comparison table 55 that can be easily understood are described. On the liquid crystal display section 12 side, a comment code 57 and a comparison table 57 of comments are described on the inner surface of the back cover 56 as described above.

Next, an embodiment in which the camera body is not so thin and a camera using two back covers is erected is shown in FIG.
6 to 18 will be described.

In such a case, the center of gravity is applied to the front of the camera, and even if an attempt is made to ground the bottom portion of the back lid by forming the back lid as shown in FIG. 7 or FIG. The lid pops up. For this reason, the legs are projected from the bottom surface of the camera body in conjunction with the opening operation of the back cover, and the legs are used to hold the camera.

FIG. 16 is a plan perspective view of the camera with the back cover open, FIG. 17 is a rear view of the camera with the back cover open, and FIG. 18 is a side view of the camera with the back cover open. In this embodiment, two back covers 61 and 62 are provided, and as described above, the reference tables 63 and 64 are displayed on the inner surfaces thereof, respectively. Here, for example, it is assumed that the back cover 61 is opened in the arrow direction. Then, the first gear 6 formed integrally with the back cover 61
5 rotates clockwise, and the third gear 67 rotates clockwise via the second gear 66. The third gear 67 has a leg portion 67a below and a screw portion 67b above, and the screw portion 67b is screwed with a fixed base plate 68. Screw part 67b
Is a right-handed screw having a large lead, the third gear 67 moves in a direction away from the fixed base plate 68 while rotating, and the leg portion 67a projects from the inside of the camera body. Further, as the third gear 68 rotates, the fourth gear 69 and the fifth gear 70 also rotate, and the sixth gear 71 rotates counterclockwise. Therefore, the back cover integrally formed with the sixth gear 71. 62 also rotates counterclockwise, and the back cover 62 is opened together with the opening of the back cover 61.

The same applies to the case where the back cover 62 is opened first, and the rotation is transmitted contrary to the above, and the back cover 61 is opened.

The amount of protrusion of the leg portion 67a differs depending on the opening angle of the back lids 61 and 62. That is, the more the back covers 61 and 62 are opened, the more the leg portion 67a projects. Therefore,
The camera can be grounded at the proper elevation.

When closing the back cover, the back cover 61
Alternatively, if the back cover 62 is closed, one back cover is also closed and the legs 67a are housed in the camera body.

Although two back covers have been described in the above-described embodiments, the back cover 61 alone may be used, for example.

Further, in order to project the leg portion 67a in conjunction with the opening of the back lids 61 and 62, the mechanism is not limited to a mechanism using gears, but can be realized by applying a link mechanism or a cam mechanism. be able to. Further, a plurality of legs may be projected.

Next, the structure for automatically displaying the comment code will be described. The automatic display of the comment code is to automatically display the comment code with the largest number of recordings on the assumption that the comment recorded most in the past is likely to be used most often in the future.
9 shows a flowchart of this camera.

When the main switch button 8 in FIG. 3 is pressed to turn on the main switch 73 in FIG. 6 (101), the CPU
Since 70 stores the comment code and the number of recording times as shown in FIG. 20, the comment code of the comment recorded the most among the comments recorded so far is determined (10
2) Display on the liquid crystal display unit 12 (103). continue,
If the comment you want to record is equivalent to the displayed comment code, release it as it is (Y of 104), perform AF control, AE control, strobe emission, etc. to open and close the shutter and perform the shooting operation (105), and comment on the film. The code is recorded optically or magnetically (106), and the CP
U70 adds 1 to the number of displayed comment codes (107) and stores it.

On the other hand, when the comment to be recorded is not the comment having the maximum number of recording times but another comment is desired to be recorded, the back cover 21 is opened. Then, the pin 23 provided upright on the back cover 21 shown in FIG. 3 separates from the hole 17 provided on the back surface of the camera body 1, so that the back cover switch 74 of FIG. 6 is turned on (may be turned off) (Y of 108). . Then, press the up button 13
When it is operated once (Y at 109), the comment code is advanced by one step (110). When the down button 14 is operated once (Y at 111), the comment code is advanced by one step (1).
12), the comment code set appropriately is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 12
Is displayed on the screen (113). When the shutter is released thereafter, the operations of the above-described flows 104 to 107 are performed, and the CPU 70 adds 1 to the newly set comment code recording count and stores it.

In FIG. 21, the same comment code as the latest recorded comment code is automatically generated based on the assumption that the same comment code as the latest recorded comment code is likely to be recorded next time. 7 is a flowchart of a camera configured to display.

As with FIG. 19, the main switch 73 is turned on.
Then, (201), the CPU 70 stores the comment code and the latest recording flag "1" as shown in FIG.
The flag "1" is discriminated (202) and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 12 (203). Subsequently, if the comment code to be recorded corresponds to the displayed comment code, the shutter is released as it is (Y of 204), and the shooting operation is performed by opening and closing the shutter by performing AF control, AE control, strobe light emission, and the like (20
5) Optically or magnetically record the comment code on the film (206), and the CPU 70 sets a flag "1" to the recorded comment code (207) and stores it.

On the other hand, when the comment to be recorded is not the latest recorded comment and another comment is desired to be recorded,
As in FIG. 19, the comment codes are changed by performing the operations of the flows 208 to 213.

In addition, the remote control mode can be automatically set only when the case back is opened.
Generally, the remote control mode in which the camera can receive a remote control signal from the remote control transmitter cannot be set constantly because the current consumption is large, so open the back cover and the signal SB in FIG.
The remote control mode may be automatically set by the CPU 70, which is the setting means, only when the input is made to 70, and the remote control mode may be automatically released when the case back is closed. In this remote control, the signal sent from the transmitter may be not only light rays but also sound and radio waves.

Alternatively, the self mode may be automatically set when the back cover is opened, and the self mode may be canceled when the back cover is closed.
