Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm photographic data on a film even when the data is not imprinted within an image plane by imprinting the data outside of the image plane of the film when switching to a non-imprinting state is performed with a switching means. CONSTITUTION:When a changeover button 13 is at a position ON, the opening 12a of a light shield plate 12 is positioned under data characters 2a to be imprinted within the image plane and data characters to be imprinted outside of the image plane are covered with the light shield plate 12. When the shutter is released in this state, a lamp 1 turns on and the data characters 2a are image- formed within the image plane of the film 7. When the changeover button 13 is moved to right and placed at a position OFF, the data characters 2a are covered with the shield plate 12 and the shutter is released in this state to form an image of the data characters 2b while light transmitted through the characters 2b passes through the opening 12b.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a data imprinting camera.

Conventional cameras that can imprint photographic data onto the photographic screen of film are widely known. In such data imprint cameras, there are cases where it is not desirable to imprint data onto the screen depending on the purpose of the photograph, and A device is known that is equipped with a switching means so that data is not imprinted when the image is obstructed due to the positional relationship with the subject image.

However, if the data is not imprinted in this way, there is a drawback that the date of photographing and the like cannot be determined later, resulting in inconvenience when organizing the photographs.

The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks, and is configured so that when data is not imprinted on the screen, the data is imprinted outside the screen of the film by operating a switching means. be.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 4 show one embodiment, in which 1 is a source for imprinting, 2 is a liquid crystal display plate for displaying characters to be imprinted, and 6 is a lens for forming an image on the screen of data light transmitted through the liquid crystal. , 4 is a lens for forming an image of the data light on the screen, 5 is a mirror installed diagonally below the lens A for injecting the thickness into the screen, and 6 is a mirror installed diagonally below the lens 4 for imprinting outside the screen. It is. 7 is a film, 8 is a back lid of the camera, 9 is a cover, and 10 is a photographic lens.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a camera body, which has an aperture 11b for a data optical path above a photographing aperture 11a.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a light-shielding plate for selecting an imprint and has two openings 12a.

12b, and a tongue 1 that slides in the longitudinal direction below the liquid crystal plate 2.
3, it can be operated from outside the camera.

Two sets of data characters representing the same content are displayed on the liquid crystal panel 2 in a transparent manner, and are located below the cut-out characters 2a, and the data characters for imprinting outside the screen are covered by a light-shielding plate. ing.

When the shutter is released in this state, the lamp 1 lights up for a certain period of time as is well known, and the light that has passed through the data character 2a passes through the aperture 12a, the lens 6, and the mirror 5 to the position shown in the screen Za of the film 7. image is formed.

If data is not to be imprinted on the screen, the switch button 16 is moved to the right in the figure to the OFF position, as shown in FIG. This allows data characters 2 to be imprinted on the screen.
It is located below Enokiwa by the lotus plate 12.

When the shutter is released at this tJJI, the lamp 1 lights up in the same way as above, but the light that passes through the data characters 2a is blocked by the light shielding plate 12, so the data is not imprinted on the screen and passes through the data characters 2b. The light passes through the lens 4, the mirror 6, and the aperture 11b and forms an image on the outside of the screen 7bE of the film 7. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, and the same members are given the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, only one set of data characters is displayed on the liquid crystal display board 2', and the switching knob 16'
By changing the position of the mirror 5', the imprinting position can be changed.

That is, a holding plate 14 for holding Mi 7-5' is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction within the camera, and is operated from the front of the camera using a switching knob 16' attached to its tip. . When the mirror 5' reaches the position indicated by the solid line, when the shutter is released, the 2nd lamp 1 lights up as described above.
The light that has passed through the data characters is reflected by the mirror 5', passes through the lens 4' and the apertures 1 and 1b, and forms an image outside the screen of the film.

When data is to be copied onto the screen, the switching knob 16' is pushed in the direction of the arrow to move it to the position shown by the broken line.As a result, the mirror 5' is also lowered in the direction of the arrow, resulting in the state shown by the broken line. When the shutter is released in this state, the light from rung 1 passes through the data characters, is reflected by mirror 5', and is then reflected by lens 6.
In this embodiment, the data imprinting device is internal to the camera.

Furthermore, the switching of imprinting is not limited to mechanically switching the optical path as shown in the embodiment, but it is also possible to selectively turn on and off two sets of liquid crystals by electrically switching a switch.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the effect that photographic data can be checked on the film even when the data is not imprinted on the screen.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a camera having a means for imprinting photographed data within the screen of the film, and a means for switching between imprinting and non-imprinting of the data, when the switching means switches to the non-imprinting state, the photographed data is transferred to the film. A data imprinting camera characterized in that data is imprinted on the outside of the screen.
