Cameras are optical devices for taking photographs and can be classified into small, medium and large cameras according to their size. The large camera is a camera using a large sheet flim of 4 × 5 "size. The large camera is also called a view camera because it takes a direct view of the focusing plate. It's mostly used in studios, and the view camera is a movement feature that's not available in small or medium format cameras, which is essential for professional photographers who take commercial and architectural photographs.

View cameras are generally equipped with front standard, rear standard, bellows and movement. The lens is attached to the front standard. The rear standard is equipped with a film holder. Bellows act as shading. The movement fixes the front standard and the rear standard. The view camera controls the framing, perspective, or focal plane through actions such as rise, fall, shift, tilt, and swing for the front and back standards. Can be adjusted. Therefore, the view camera has an advantage of expressing the subject more accurately and variously.

Despite the advantages of these view cameras, view cameras are rarely used at present. This is because the view camera film is expensive, the film development cost and the cost of the polaroid film predicting the photographing result are expensive, and there is an inconvenience in that a separate exposure meter is required. In particular, with the popularization of digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras, users have become accustomed to the convenience of not needing film and seeing the results immediately after shooting. Accordingly, users do not use the view camera, and the view camera is used or neglected as an interior accessory.

Accordingly, some view camera manufacturers have developed and sold digital packs having image elements such as CCD and CMOS and attached to film holders of view cameras to store images of view cameras as digital images. However, digital packs are quite expensive and are not well received by users.

An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-connector for a view camera that can record the image of the view camera to the image pickup device of the DSLR camera.

In one embodiment, the panel unit may be coupled to the view camera 200 in a sliding manner. The mounting ring of the view camera 100 is detachably coupled to the DSLR camera 300. The protrusion keeps the gap so that the DSLR camera 300 coupled to the mounting ring does not collide with the panel portion. In the case of the DSLR camera 300, a protruding portion is formed on one side of the body so that the user can grip it. Therefore, it is necessary to form the protrusion 130 so that the protruding portion of the DSLR camera 300 does not collide with the panel unit 110.

It is often necessary to change the photographing angle of the DSLR camera 300 while photographing. However, since the DSLR camera 300 is connected to the view camera 200, it is not easy to change the angle of the DSLR camera 300. To this end, the multi-connector 100 for a view camera of the present invention is rotatably coupled to the projection panel sliding.

When the user wants to change the photographing angle of the DSLR camera 300, the DSLR camera 300 is rotated in a desired direction. When a force is applied to the DSLR camera 300, a force is transmitted to the mounting ring and the projection coupled with the DSLR camera 300, the projection rotates. Therefore, the DSLR camera 300 is rotated in the desired direction.

In other embodiments, the protrusion may temporarily stop at a predetermined position during rotation. To this end, the same principle as described in FIG. 6 may be applied. The rotation of the DSLR camera 300 allows the user to take a picture at a desired angle.
