Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a camera-integrated recording device and a recording device, and more particularly to a technique for prolonging the operating time when a battery is driven and improving the usability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A camera-integrated V in which a camera and a VTR (video tape recorder) as a recording device are integrally formed
One of the photographing methods of the TR and a recording apparatus which can be used by connecting a camera is a joint photographing in which recording and stopping are repeatedly recorded to continuously record necessary scenes. In a conventional camera-integrated VTR, a recording temporary stop state (hereinafter referred to as a standby) is provided, and in the standby state, the camera section is in an imaging state and the VTR section is in a recording standby state in which a rotating cylinder is rotating. Therefore, the standby mode consumes almost the same amount of power as the recording mode, and the camera-integrated VTR, which is often driven by a battery, has a problem that the actual recording time becomes short. To avoid power consumption during standby, you should always turn off the power after recording, but when you start recording next time, you need to operate the power switch and the record button in two steps. Become. As means for alleviating this problem, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
In the apparatus described in 7-196673, the power supply to the camera and the VTR section is stopped during standby, and the power is supplied again for the next recording to start up.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Present camera integrated type V
In TRs and recording devices, electronic viewfinders that use small cathode ray tubes or liquid crystal displays, or liquid crystal displays themselves are mainly used for shooting and checking recorded images. When the camera is off, the camera unit also does not operate, and therefore there is a problem that the image cannot be confirmed, and it is necessary to turn on the power and set the angle of view after the image appears on the electronic viewfinder. Therefore, if the power is turned on and recording is started immediately, an image unintended by the photographer may be recorded. Further, in a camera-integrated VTR equipped with a variable focal length zoom lens, if the zoom position is on the telephoto side (enlarged image can be obtained) when the power is turned on, the range that the photographer can see in the electronic viewfinder becomes narrow. Therefore, it takes time to find a subject as a shooting target, and an unnecessary image may be recorded.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a camera-integrated recording apparatus and recording apparatus in which the power supply is stopped during non-recording in order to improve the above problems and reduce power consumption. It is to solve the problem of the angle of view setting due to the inability to check the image.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a switch for controlling the start and end of recording and for turning on / off at least one power source of a camera section, a VTR section and a display section is provided. And a power supply control means. Further, there is provided a time measuring means, and a control means for starting the recording in the recording means after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when the camera section starts the image pickup and the image appears in the viewfinder or the like.

Further, when the power is off or when the power is on,
Alternatively, a means for moving the zoom lens to the wide-angle side after a lapse of a predetermined time after power-off is provided.

Further, a means for superimposing character information on the viewfinder or the like is provided to display the remaining grace time until recording is started.

Further, a means for changing the predetermined time until the start of recording and a means for selecting the movement timing of the zoom lens to the wide angle side are provided so that the user can freely set.

Since the above-mentioned power supply control means stops the supply of power to at least one of the camera section and the VTR section or the display section after the recording is finished, the power consumption during non-recording can be reduced at least as compared with the conventional one or at all. It can be set to not. Also, by providing a waiting time from the appearance of the image on the electronic viewfinder at the start of recording to the actual start of recording, the photographer can set the angle of view according to his preference during this time, so the image recorded on the image can be displayed. No unnecessary image remains while adjusting the corners.

Further, since the zoom lens is always on the wide-angle side at the start of photographing, the photographer can surely catch the target subject.

Moreover, since the photographer performs the above-mentioned processing by operating only one button, there is no erroneous operation and the usability is improved.

Further, since the grace time until the start of recording is displayed, the user can adjust the zoom and the angle of view while recognizing when recording will start.

Further, since the grace time until recording can be changed, it is possible to meet the user's request for immediate recording without missing a recording opportunity. Further, by selecting the retracting timing of the zoom lens to the wide-angle side position, the zoom lens does not retract to the wide-angle side each time it is desired to repeatedly start and stop recording in small increments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention.

A block 100 surrounded by a dotted line is a display section. The display unit 100 is an electronic viewfinder 10 using a cathode ray tube or a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image at the time of shooting or a reproduced image of a recording device, an external output terminal 12,
It is composed of a switch 11 for switching an image pickup signal or a reproduction signal. The electronic viewfinder may be the liquid crystal display itself instead of the finder.

Next, a block 101 surrounded by a dotted line is a camera section. The camera unit 101 includes lenses 1 and 2, a lens block 5 including a diaphragm 4, an image sensor 6 (for example, a CCD sensor), a camera signal processing circuit 7 that converts an output signal from the image sensor 6 into a video signal, and an amount of light input to the sensor. The exposure control circuit 8 controls the exposure time of the diaphragm 4 and the image pickup device 6 so that

The image pickup signal generated by the camera section is recorded on the magnetic tape 24 by the VTR section of the block 102 surrounded by the dotted line. An input signal is converted into a recording signal by a recording signal processing circuit 33 and recorded on a magnetic tape 24 by magnetic heads 22 and 23 mounted on a rotary cylinder (hereinafter abbreviated as cylinder) 21. During reproduction, reproduction signals from the magnetic heads 22 and 23 are converted into video signals by the reproduction signal circuit 34. A switch 35 switches between a recording mode and a reproduction mode. The magnetic tape 24 is pressed against the capstan shaft of the capstan motor 25 by the pinch roller 26 and is transferred by the rotation of the capstan motor 25. The rotation of the cylinder 21 is detected by the sensor 28.
Cylinder control circuit 27 using velocity and phase information from
To control. Since it is necessary to synchronize the rotational phase of the cylinder 21 with the recorded video signal during recording, a vertical separation signal is separated from the video signal from the camera signal processing circuit 7 by the sync separation circuit 29 and input to the cylinder control circuit. Similarly, the rotation of the capstan motor 25 is performed by the capstan control circuit 30 based on the speed information from the sensor 31. Although there are various tracking methods during reproduction, this embodiment shows an example of the ATF method using a pilot signal used in 8 mm video. During reproduction, the ATF tracking control circuit 32 extracts a pilot signal from the reproduction signal to generate a tracking error signal, which is input to the capstan control circuit 30 to control the rotation phase of the capstan.

A block 103 surrounded by a dotted line is a control block. Reference numeral 41 denotes a system controller using a microcomputer (hereinafter, abbreviated as a microcomputer), which sets and controls various operation modes. In the following description, the control according to the present invention will be described. Reference numeral 43 denotes a switch for instructing recording start / end (hereinafter referred to as a recording button), 44 denotes a power supply control circuit for controlling the supply of electric power from the battery 45 to each block, and its internal configuration is generally as follows. . The power supply circuit 51 converts the power supply signal from the battery 45 into a voltage and stabilizes it as necessary. The switches 48, 49 and 50 are turned on / off from the microcomputer 41.
The display unit 100, the camera unit 101, and the VT depending on the signal.
It controls power distribution to the R unit 102. A timer circuit 42 is used for timing control of the system controller. Of course, it may be built in the system controller.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the control flowchart of FIG. When the main switch 47 is turned on, the power supply circuit 51 starts power distribution to the microcomputer 41. At this time, the display unit 100, the camera unit 101, and the VTR unit 102 are off. Further, the pinch roller is in a non-pressed state (hereinafter referred to as pinch-off). The microcomputer 41 monitors the state of the record button 43, and when it detects that the record button 43 is pressed, it controls the switches 48, 49 and 50 in the power control circuit 44 to supply power to the display section, camera section and VTR section. To do. As a result, the camera section starts image pickup and displays a shot image on the electronic viewfinder 10. Further, when the power is turned on, the timer 42 for measuring time is reset and the measurement is started. Then V
The cylinder in the TR section is activated and accelerated to a steady rotation speed (1800 rpm for the NTSC signal system and 1500 rpm for the PAL signal system in the case of 8 mm VTR). After the cylinder is activated, a loading motor (not shown) is driven to press the pinch roller onto the capstan (hereinafter referred to as pinch-on). When it is confirmed by the timer 42 that a predetermined time has elapsed, the capstan motor 25 is activated to advance the tape and perform the tracking control while reproducing the recorded portion. Recording is started after tracking control.

Here, processing examples of the cylinder starting process and the capstan starting tracking process in the system controller 41 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, in the cylinder starting process, the system controller resets the timer in advance and then instructs the cylinder to control the rotational speed and the phase. It usually takes 1 to several seconds to control the rotation speed and phase, and the system controller waits for activation during that time. When the activation is completed or the activation waiting time is exceeded (hereinafter, exceeding the waiting time is referred to as timeout), the system controller 41 ends this routine. In addition,
When the time-out occurs, it is considered that the cylinder has some starting failure. Therefore, it is common to adopt a configuration that shifts to a special process outside this routine (not shown).

The capstan activation and tracking processes are almost the same. After resetting the timer in advance, the system controller instructs the capstan to control tracking, which is the rotational speed and phase. In the case of a capstan, speed control is completed relatively quickly (for example, tens of milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds). However, the tracking control generally takes 1 to several seconds, and the system controller waits for activation during that period. When the startup is completed or the time-out is completed, the system controller 41
Ends this routine. When the time-out occurs, it is considered that the capstan had some kind of start-up failure, so it is common to have a configuration in which special processing is performed outside this routine (not shown).

As described above, the system controller 41 also uses the timer to wait for the completion of the process of activating the cylinder or capstan. The waiting process described in FIGS. 3 and 4 is a process different from the waiting process before activation of the capstan described in FIG. The waiting process before the capstan starting process of FIG. 2 is waiting for starting the display block 100 or the camera block 101 after power-on and waiting time for the user to determine the angle of view.

A timing chart of the above control is shown in FIG. The camera control state in the figure is a schematic representation of the state, and the shaded portion indicates that it is in a transient state. The pinch roller indicates that the low level is pinch off and the high level is pinch on. The pinch-on timing is set to a timing at which the load applied to the cylinder of the tape by the pinch-on does not cause the cylinder start failure.

Next, the operation from recording stop to power off in FIG. 2 will be described. When it is detected that the recording button 43 is pressed during recording, the recording operation is stopped. Further, the tape is rewound by a predetermined amount and the capstan motor is stopped and the loading motor (not shown) is driven to pinch off for tracking control of the next shot. After the above processing is completed, the supply of power to the display unit 100, the camera unit 101, and the VTR unit 102 is stopped, and the initial stopped state is restored.

According to the present embodiment, after the recording is finished, the display unit 100, the camera unit 101, and the VTR unit 102 are powered off, so that no power is wasted. In addition, by providing a waiting time from when the recording button is pressed until the start of recording, the photographer can set the angle of view on the electronic viewfinder during this time, which solves the problem of recording unnecessary images. it can.

Next, an example in which the processing of the system controller 41 is changed in the same configuration of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Since the cylinder has a relatively large inertia, once it starts rotating, it consumes relatively little power. Therefore, when recording is performed in small increments, there are cases in which power consumption is lower in continuous rotation than in repeated start and stop. Therefore, after the main switch 47 is turned on, the system controller 41 starts energizing only the VTR section, activates the cylinder, and issues a pinch roller crimping instruction. In this state, the system controller 41 monitors the state of the recording button 43, and when it detects that the recording button 43 has been pressed, the cylinder start or stop and the pinch roller movement are started from the recording button detection process before recording described in FIG. Executes a series of processing except processing related to ON / OFF.

When the series of processes is completed, the process returns to the recording button detection process before recording, but the cylinder continues to rotate.
Here, if the user presses the record button again, a series of processing is repeated, but if the user does not press the record button,
As a process for automatically stopping the cylinder, the timer is reset and the recording button is detected and the timeout is monitored. Here, when the system controller 41 detects a time-out, after stopping the cylinder, the pressure contact of the pinch roller is released and the power supply of the VTR section is turned off.

According to this control example, it is possible to further reduce power consumption when starting and stopping the recording in small increments.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment facilitates the setting of the angle of view at the start of shooting, and since the main configuration and operation are the same as in the first embodiment, only the differences will be described. The components added to FIG. 1 are as follows. Reference numeral 3 is a zoom lens, 9 is a motor including a drive circuit for moving the zoom lens, and 46 is a zoom switch for the user to control the movement of the zoom motor.

In the present invention, since the photographed image can be confirmed on the electronic viewfinder only after the recording button is pressed, if the zoom lens is on the telephoto side at the start of photographing, the subject is magnified, so Can be hard to find. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the zoom lens is returned to the wide-angle side at the start of shooting. The operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Although it is basically the same as the flowchart of FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, there is provided processing for moving the zoom lens to the wide-angle side after turning on the power of the camera unit. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the same effect can be obtained by providing this processing before the power of the camera unit is turned off after the recording is completed.

As shown in FIG. 10, the timer is reset prior to the recording button detection process before recording, and the timeout is monitored in parallel with the recording button detection process. Thus, when the system controller 41 detects a time-out, only the camera section is energized, the zoom lens is retracted to the wide-angle end, and then the camera section is powered off. With this, when the recording is started and stopped in small increments, the zoom lens does not move to the wide-angle end each time the recording is stopped and the usability is further improved.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described below. This embodiment has the same main configuration as the second embodiment described with reference to FIG. 7, and therefore only the differences will be described. The components added to FIG. 7 are as follows. System controller 4
OSD (On Screen) for generating a signal for superimposing character information on a video signal according to a control signal from
Display) signal processing circuit 13 and an addition circuit for adding the OSD signal output by the OSD signal processing circuit 13 to the image pickup signal or the reproduction signal.

Next, FIG. 12 shows the system controller 41.
The control flow of the third embodiment will be described. FIG.
2 is basically the same as the control flow of FIG. 2, the difference will be described. In this control flow, an operation of calculating the remaining grace time until the start of recording and displaying the remaining grace time is added in a time lapse waiting processing loop of a predetermined time before the start of recording. Further, after the end of this time lapse waiting processing loop, a recording start display operation is added. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, the grace time until the start of recording is momentarily displayed on the image pickup signal selected by the switch 11, and at the same time when the recording is started, the character information indicating the start of recording is displayed.

As described above, the user can deal with the setting of the angle of view while easily grasping the remaining time until the start of recording.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the Japanese invention of FIG. 14 will be described. This embodiment is the third described with reference to FIG.
Since the main configuration is the same as that of the embodiment described above, only the difference will be described. The components added to FIG. 11 are as follows. That is, the user setting button 52.

So far, in the first to third embodiments, the embodiments in which various functions are realized by some methods have been described. The present embodiment shown in FIG. 14 is an example of a configuration provided with means for the user to set these methods in various ways. That is,
The example is described in FIG. When the user presses the user setting button, the system controller 41 sends a command to the OSD signal processing circuit 13 to display the main menu screen. In this state, the system controller 41 causes the zoom switch 46 to function as a menu selection switch.
That is, normally, the zoom switch 46 can give instructions to the system controller 41 in two directions to the telephoto side or the wide-angle side. Here, the system controller 41 uses this two-way instruction as an up / down switch for menu selection. Such dual use of switches may be configured in any manner depending on the function of the system. Of course, a dedicated switch for menu selection may be provided, and the user setting switch 46 may also be used as another switch as necessary.

On the main menu screen, the user operates the zoom switch 46 to display the "record switch function" of 1.
It is assumed that the user setting switch 52 is pressed in the state where is selected. As a result, the system controller 41 operates the OS.
The D signal processing circuit 13 is instructed to display the sub menu regarding the function of the recording switch. Here, as the function of the record switch, the "REC pause" is used to start the energization of all circuits by the main switch 47 and operate all the cylinders, the camera and the display function to save only the capstan system processing in the state as before. Yes ”and the recording switch described in the control flow of FIG.
After the energization of all the VTRs is started, the recording switch described in FIG. 6 is used, and the energization of only the camera portion is started, the zoom switch 46 is selected, and then the user setting button is used. After the confirmation, the system controller 41 again instructs the OSD signal processing circuit 13 to return to the main menu screen. Thereby, the user selects the function of the recording switch according to the situation.

Next, when the user selects the recording grace time of 2 on the main menu screen, the recording grace time, that is, a screen for setting the predetermined time of the predetermined time waiting process before the start of recording is displayed. Here, the user sets the waiting time so that the user who wants to start recording faster than the grace time for setting the angle of view sets the time shorter, and it is sufficient for the user to start recording. A user who wants a grace time can set a desired predetermined time by setting it longer.

Next, on the main menu screen, the control timing for retracting the zoom lens to the wide-angle side is set to which control described in the control flow of FIGS. 8 to 10, or whether to retract to the wide-angle side. Select.

Further, if the end is selected on the main menu screen, the menu is ended and the normal operation is resumed. As described above, the user can select and use each method of each function according to the usage status, and the usability is improved.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment has the same main configuration as the fourth embodiment described with reference to FIG. 14, so only the differences will be described. The constituent elements deleted and added to FIG. 14 are as follows. That is, the main switch 47 is deleted, and the backup power supply 53 and the switch 54 for switching the power supply signal of the backup power supply 53 and the power supply signal of the power supply circuit 51 with the control signal from the system controller 41 and supplying the system controller 41 are added. This allows the system controller 41
Was activated when the main switch 47 was turned on, but in the present embodiment, it is always operating by the power supply from the backup power source 53. As a result, from the user's point of view, only one recording switch 43 can be used as a switch to start and stop recording, and thus the number of user's operations can be further reduced.

In the above embodiments, 8 mm video using the ATF method has been mainly described, but V of other methods is used.
You can use TR. Furthermore, the same effect can be obtained with a recording device or a recording medium using a recording medium other than a magnetic tape. For example, in a device using a magnetic disk or an optical disk, the influence of the startup time of the disk drive device can be eliminated, and even in a solid-state recording device using a memory, the influence of the startup time of the camera can be eliminated. .

Further, in the above embodiment, the camera-integrated recording device in which the image pickup means, the recording means and the display means are integrally formed has been described. The present invention can be similarly applied to a recording device in which the display means and / or the display means are provided separately, and is within the scope of the present invention.

Further, in the present invention, the meaning of "integrated" of the camera-integrated recording device is not necessarily limited to the one in which all of them are housed in the integrally formed exterior. , At least one or all of the respective constituent parts such as the image pickup means, the recording means, the display means, etc. are housed in independent exteriors, and these finally include a product assembled as a unit. ,
Also within the scope of the invention.

[0047]

According to the present invention, since the power is automatically turned off after the recording is stopped, unnecessary power consumption except during recording can be reduced. At the start of recording, a waiting time is provided from the appearance of the image in the viewfinder to the start of actual recording, so that the photographer can set the angle of view according to his preference during this time. Also, since the zoom lens is always on the wide-angle side at the start of the shadow, the time it takes for the photographer to capture the desired subject can be shortened. Moreover, the photographer can perform the above processing by operating only one button.
