본 발명은 콤팩트 줌 카메라에 관한 것으로, 특히 근거리 촬영시 파인더 렌즈부와 촬영렌즈부의 시차를 보정하는 콤팩트 줌 카메라(compact zoom camera)의 시차(視差)보정장치에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compact zoom camera, and more particularly, to a parallax correcting apparatus of a compact zoom camera for correcting the disparity of a finder lens unit and a photographing lens unit in close-up photography.

일반적으로 콤팩트 줌 카메라는 빛을 모아서 필림에 상(像)을 형성시키는 촬영렌즈부와, 촬영범위를 촬영자의 눈으로 확인할 수 있도록 한 파인더렌즈부가 각각 구성되고, 촬영이 종료되는 순간까지 빛이 유입되지 않도록 차광(遮光)하면서 릴리즈 버튼의 누름동작에 의해 순간적으로 열려 적당한 량의 빛을 받아 필름을 감광(感光)시키는 셔터가 구성되며, 눈의 동공과 같이 형성된 구멍을 통해 유입되는 빛의 필요한 량에 따라 구멍의 크기를 크게 또는 작게 조절할 수 있도록 링모양의 금속판을 결합한 조리개가 구성된다. 그리고 이러한 구성물을 내장 및 부착하거나 필름을 외부의 빛으로부터 차단시키기 위하여 암실상자로 형성된 몸체로 구성된다.In general, a compact zoom camera is composed of a photographing lens unit for collecting light to form an image on the film, and a finder lens unit for confirming the photographing range with the eyes of the photographer, and light is introduced until the end of shooting. The shutter is opened by pressing the release button to prevent the light from being blocked, and the shutter is configured to receive an appropriate amount of light to light the film.The amount of light flowing through the hole formed like the pupil of the eye is formed. According to the aperture is configured to combine the ring-shaped metal plate to adjust the size of the hole large or small. And it is composed of a body formed of a dark box to embed and attach these components or to block the film from the external light.

이러한 구조의 줌 카메라는 에스 엘 알(SLR: Single Lens Reflex) 카메라와 달리 제1도에 도시된 바와 같이 피사체(P)를 파인더렌즈부(10)를 통하여 확인할 수 있는 범위(A)와 촬영렌즈부(20)를 통해 실제로 촬영된 범위(B)가 다르게 나타나는 시차(視差)(parallex)현상이 발생하게 되는 것으로, 이 시차현상은 촬영거리가 짧을수록 더욱 심하게 나타난다.Unlike a single lens reflex (SLR) camera, a zoom camera having such a structure has a range A and a photographing lens in which the subject P can be identified through the finder lens unit 10 as shown in FIG. 1. The parallax phenomenon in which the range B actually photographed is different through the unit 20 is generated. The parallax phenomenon is more severe as the photographing distance is shorter.

상기와 같이 나타나는 시차현상의 원인을 제3도를 참조하여 설명한다. 종래의 파인더 광학계는 대물렌즈(11), 줌렌즈(12), 중간렌즈시스템(13), 접안렌즈(14)의 순서로 이루어지며, 이러한 파인더 광학계의 렌즈에 집광되는 빛은 360°, 즉 어느 방향에서도 집광되는 것이나 일정한 렌즈시스템을 통과한후 사람의 눈에 맺혀지는 피사체는 렌즈의 시스템에 따라 한정되는 특성을 갖는다.The cause of the parallax phenomenon as described above will be described with reference to FIG. The conventional finder optical system is composed of an objective lens 11, a zoom lens 12, an intermediate lens system 13, and an eyepiece 14, and the light focused on the lens of the finder optical system is 360 °, that is, in any direction. Even when the light is collected or the subject is caught in the human eye after passing through a certain lens system, the subject has a limited characteristic according to the lens system.

예를 들어 대물렌즈(11)를 통하여 일정한 각도(α°)를 벗어나게 빛(a)이 입사되면 이 빛(a)은 중간의 렌즈시스템(13)을 통과한 후 촬영자의 눈에 맺히지 않고 벗어나게 된다. 즉 이러한 현상은 상기 렌즈시스템의 특성에 따라 렌즈 자체가 가지고 있는 굴절률에 의해 발생하게 되는 것이다.For example, when the light a is incident out of a predetermined angle α ° through the objective lens 11, the light a passes through the intermediate lens system 13 and then exits without being caught in the eyes of the photographer. . That is, this phenomenon is caused by the refractive index of the lens itself according to the characteristics of the lens system.

이러한 근거리 촬영시 발생하는 시차현상을 보정하기 위하여 종래에는 제2도에서와 같이 접안렌즈의 전방에 설치되는 시야테렌즈(15)의 원거리 촬영범위를 나타내는 원거리시야테(151) 내측에 근거리 촬영범위를 나타내는 근거리시차 보정마크(152)가 형성된다.In order to correct the parallax that occurs during close-up photography, the near-field shot range is located inside the far field view 151, which shows a far-field shot range of the field-of-view lens 15 installed in front of the eyepiece as shown in FIG. A near-parallax correction mark 152 is formed.

그러나 상기와 같은 시야테렌즈(15)의 근거리시차보정마크(152)에 의해 나타낼 수 있는 범위보다 근접한 범위를 촬영하게 되면 제1도에 도시된 바와 같이 촬영자가 구도를 잡을 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 이러한 상태에서 사진을 촬영하게 되면 피사체의 상이 파인더를 통해 확인된 범위와 실제로 촬영한 범위가 다르게 나타나 피사체의 일부가 잘린 상태로 촬영되는 등의 문제점이 있었다.However, photographing a range closer to the range indicated by the near-field disparity correction mark 152 of the field-of-view lens 15 as described above may not only allow the photographer to compose the composition but also such a state. When taking a picture in, the image of the subject differs from the range checked through the finder, and the actual photographed range is different.

이에 본 발명은 상술한 바와 같은 종래의 제반 결함을 감안하여 이루어진 것으로, 그 목적은 근접거리 촬영시 파인더렌즈부와 촬영렌즈부의 시차를 최소의 상태가 되도록 보정하는 콤팩트 줌 카메라(compact zoom camera)의 시차(視差)보정장치를 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned general defects, and its object is to provide a compact zoom camera for correcting the parallax between the finder lens unit and the photographing lens unit to a minimum state when photographing close range. A parallax correction device is provided.

이 시차보정장치는 근접거리의 촬영시 파인더렌즈부의 줌렌즈와 중간렌즈시스템의 사이에 선택적으로 설치 및 제거되는 시차보정렌즈를 구성함을 특징으로 하는 것이다.The parallax correction device is characterized in that it comprises a parallax correction lens which is selectively installed and removed between the zoom lens of the finder lens unit and the intermediate lens system when photographing at a close distance.

이하 첨부된 도면에 의거하여 본 발명 일 실시예의 구성을 상세히 설명한다. 제4도는 본 발명이 적용된 파인더 광학계의 구성도이고, 제5도는 본 발명이 적용된 근접거리 촬영시의 시차(視差)설명도이다.Hereinafter, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 4 is a configuration diagram of the finder optical system to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 5 is a parallax explanatory diagram at the time of close-up photography to which the present invention is applied.

본 발명이 적용되는 파인더 렌즈부(10)는 통상에서와 같이 대물렌즈(11), 줌렌즈(12), 중간렌즈시스템(13), 접안렌즈(14)의 순서로 배열되어 이루어진다.The finder lens unit 10 to which the present invention is applied is arranged in the order of the objective lens 11, the zoom lens 12, the intermediate lens system 13, and the eyepiece 14 as usual.

이러한 파인더 광학계에 있어 본 발명은 상기 파인더렌즈(10)부의 줌렌즈(12)와 중간렌즈시스템(13)의 사이에 선택적으로 설치 및 제거되는 시차보정렌즈(30)를 구성하여 이루어지는 것으로, 이를 좀더 구체적으로 설명하면 다음과 같다.In the finder optical system, the present invention comprises a parallax correction lens 30 that is selectively installed and removed between the zoom lens 12 of the finder lens 10 and the intermediate lens system 13. Explained as follows.

본 발명 시차보정렌즈(30)는 렌즈 자체가 가지는 빛의 굴절특성, 즉 입사되는 빛이 렌즈의 두꺼운 방향으로 굴절되는 원리를 이용하여 렌즈를 상, 하측의 두께가 서로 다르게 구성한다. 예를 들어 제4도에서 점선으로 도시된 바와 같이 하부로 입사된 빛(a)의 범위까지 촬영자의 눈으로 확인하고자 할 경우에는 시차보정렌즈(30)의 전방을 수직으로 구성하고 하부를 기준으로 하여 상부의 두께를 얇게 구성한다.The parallax correction lens 30 of the present invention configures the lens to have different thicknesses of the upper and lower sides by using the principle of refraction of the light of the lens itself, that is, the incident light is refracted in the thick direction of the lens. For example, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 4, when checking the eye of the photographer to the range of the light (a) incident to the bottom, the front of the parallax correction lens 30 is vertically constructed and the bottom is referred to. The thickness of the upper part is made thin.

이렇게 구성된 시차보정렌즈(30)가 줌렌즈(12)와 중간렌즈시스템(13)의 사이에 설치된 상태에서 하부로 치우친 빛(a)이 시차보정렌즈(30)로 입사되면 이 빛은 두께가 얇은 상부를 통해 하향으로 굴절되어 촬영자의 눈으로 확인할 수 있는 범위내로 보정된다.When the disparity correcting lens 30 configured as described above is installed between the zoom lens 12 and the intermediate lens system 13 and the light a biased downward is incident on the parallax correction lens 30, the light is thin at the top. It is refracted downward through and corrected within the range that can be seen by the photographer's eyes.

상기와 같이 일정한 굴절률의 변화를 가지는 시차보정렌즈(30)를 사용하여 근접촬영을 하게 되면 종래에 확인할 수 없었던 부분까지 파인더의 확인범위를 확대시켜 제5도에 도시된 바와 같이 파인더렌즈부(10)를 통하여 확인한 범위(A)와 실제로 촬영된 범위(B)가 다르게 나타나는 시차(視差)(parallex)현상을 최소화하게 되는 것이다.When taking a close-up photographing using the parallax correction lens 30 having a constant refractive index change as described above, the finder lens unit 10 is enlarged as shown in FIG. The parallax phenomenon is minimized in which the range (A) and the actually photographed range (B) are different from each other.

그리고 본 발명 시차보정렌즈(30)는 근접촬영시만 선택적으로 사용할 수 있도록 구성되어야 하는 것으로, 그 일 실시예의 구성은 시차보정렌즈(30)의 하단부에 일방향으로 회동하는 힌지(31)를 구성하여 원거리촬영시는 사차보정렌즈(30)를 일방향 수평상태로 접어 제거하고, 근접거리촬영시는 수평상태로 접혀진 시차보정렌즈(30)를 수직상태로 전개시켜 줌렌즈(12)와 중간렌즈시스템(13)의 사이에 설치한다. 이러한 시차보정렌즈(30)의 조절수단은 카메라의 구조에 따라 기구적으로 변경될 수 있다.In addition, the parallax correction lens 30 of the present invention should be configured to be selectively used only for close-up photography. The configuration of the embodiment may include a hinge 31 that rotates in one direction at a lower end of the parallax correction lens 30. In long distance shooting, the quasi-correction lens 30 is removed in a horizontal state in one direction, and in the long distance shooting, the parallax correcting lens 30 is folded in a horizontal state to expand the zoom lens 12 and the intermediate lens system 13. Install in between. The adjusting means of the parallax correction lens 30 may be mechanically changed according to the structure of the camera.

이상에서와 같이 본 발명은 근접거리의 촬영시 파인더렌즈부의 줌렌즈와 중간렌즈시스템의 사이에 시차보정렌즈를 선택적으로 설치하여 근접거리 촬영시 피사체(P)를 확인할 수 있는 파인더렌즈부를 통한 확인 범위와 촬영렌즈부의 실제로 촬영되는 범위가 다르게 나타나는 시차현상을 최소화함으로써 제품의 신뢰성을 극대화하는 이점을 가지게 되는 것이다.As described above, the present invention provides a confirmation range through the finder lens unit which can check the subject P during close-range photography by selectively installing a parallax correction lens between the zoom lens of the finder lens unit and the intermediate lens system when photographing the close range. It will have the advantage of maximizing the reliability of the product by minimizing the parallax phenomenon that the actual shooting range of the photographing lens unit is different.
