일반적으로, 촬영을 위해서는 일안 리플렉스 또는 이안 리플렉스 카메라를 사용하게 되는 바, 이는 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이 본체(50')와, 여기에 설치된 뷰 파인더(54)와 렌즈(52') 및 렌즈 어셈블리(53')로 구성된다.In general, a single-lens reflex or dual-lens reflex camera is used for photographing, as shown in FIG. 2, which includes a main body 50 ', a viewfinder 54, a lens 52', and a lens assembly installed therein. And 53 '.

물론, 상기한 본체(50')에는 셔터(55) 및 플래쉬(56)가 설치되어 있는 바, 상기한 바와 같은 구성의 일안 리플렉스 또는 이안 리플렉스 카메라는 부피가 크고 비용이 높아지기 때문에, 화상 카메라에는 사용하기 어렵게 된다.Of course, since the main body 50 'is provided with a shutter 55 and a flash 56, the single-lens reflex or bi-lens reflex camera having the above-described configuration is bulky and expensive, so it is used for an image camera. It becomes difficult to do it.

그래서, 화상 채팅등을 하기 위해서는 컴퓨터의 모니터등에 비교적 작은 크기의 화상 카메라를 설치하게 된다.Therefore, in order to have a video chat or the like, a relatively small size video camera is installed in a monitor of a computer.

즉, 비교적 해상도가 낮고 크기가 작은 화상 카메라를 모니터에 설치하여 직접 얼굴을 보면서 채팅등을 하게 되는 것이다.In other words, a relatively low resolution and small size video camera is installed on the monitor to chat face to face directly.

상기한 화상 카메라는 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이 베이스(50)와, 상기한 베이스(50) 상면에 설치된 본체(51)와, 상기한 본체(51) 전면에 위치되도록 렌즈(52)가 설치된 렌즈 어셈블리(53)로 구성되어 있다.As shown in FIG. 3, the image camera includes a base 50, a main body 51 installed on the upper surface of the base 50, and a lens 52 installed so as to be positioned in front of the main body 51. The assembly 53 is comprised.

상기한 화상 카메라를 사용하기 위해서는, 모니터등에 상기한 베이스(50)를 올려놓고, 각도를 맞춘 후, 상기한 렌즈 어셈블리(53)를 조절하여 초점을 맞춘 후 사용하게 되는 것이다.In order to use the image camera, the base 50 is placed on a monitor or the like, the angle is adjusted, and the lens assembly 53 is adjusted to focus.

물론, 초점을 맞추기 위해서는 모니터상에 나타나는 화상을 보면서 렌즈 어셈블리(53)를 조절하게 된다.Of course, in order to focus, the lens assembly 53 is adjusted while watching the image displayed on the monitor.

즉, 컴퓨터용 화상 카메라에는 초점 조절을 위한 뷰 파인더가 없기 때문에, 모니터에 나타난 화상을 보면서 초점을 조절해야 하는 것이다.That is, since a computer image camera does not have a viewfinder for focusing, it is necessary to adjust the focus while viewing an image displayed on a monitor.

그러나, 상기한 바와 같이 뷰 파인더가 없는 상태인 화상 카메라를 사용하여 초점을 조절하게 되면, 초점 조절 작업이 매우 불편할 뿐만 아니라 화상 카메라를별도로 디지털 카메라처럼 사용하려고 하면, 초점을 맞출 수 없기 때문에 사용이 불가능한 문제점이 있다.However, if the focus is adjusted using an image camera without a viewfinder as described above, the focusing operation is very inconvenient, and if the image camera is used separately as a digital camera, the focus cannot be used. There is an impossible problem.

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 상기한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 모니터에 부착하여 사용할 때는 부피를 최소화하도록 뷰 파인더를 제거할 수 있고, 화상 카메라를 별도로 사용할 때는 뷰파인더를 결합시켜 사용할 수 있도록 구성된 컴퓨터용 화상 카메라를 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, the viewfinder can be removed to minimize the volume when attached to the monitor, the computer configured to use the viewfinder combined when using a separate image camera The present invention provides a video camera.

본체(2)의 배면으로 파인더 어셈블리(5)를 당겨서 분리시키게 되면, 상기한 화상 카메라의 크기가 매우 작아지게 되는 바, 상기한 카메라를 채팅용으로 사용하기에 적합하게 된다.When the finder assembly 5 is pulled apart from the back of the main body 2, the size of the image camera becomes very small, which makes the camera suitable for use for chatting.

즉, 파인더 어셈블리(5)가 제거되면 그 크기가 매우 작아지게 됨으로써, 상기한 화상 카메라를 모니터에 올려 놓고 사용하기가 간편하게 되는 것이다.In other words, when the finder assembly 5 is removed, the size thereof becomes very small, so that the image camera is placed on the monitor and is easy to use.

물론, 상기한 화상 카메라를 사용하기 위해서는 초점을 맞춰야 하는 바, 상기한 렌즈를 조절함과 아울러 모니터에 나타나는 화상을 보면서 초점을 맞추게 된다.Of course, in order to use the above-described image camera, it is necessary to focus, while adjusting the lens and focusing on the image displayed on the monitor.

여기서, 상기한 화상 카메라를 디지털 카메라처럼 별도로 촬영하기 위하여 사용하게 되면, 상기한 파인더 어셈블리(5)의 가이드 돌기(6)를 본체(2)의 가이드홈(7)에 결합시키게 된다.In this case, when the image camera is used to separately photograph the digital camera, the guide protrusion 6 of the finder assembly 5 is coupled to the guide groove 7 of the main body 2.

파인더 어셈블리(5)의 가이드 돌기(6)를 본체(2)의 가이드 홈(7)에 끼우게 되면, 상기한 본체(2) 상면에 파인더 어셈블리(5)가 안착되어 있기 때문에, 상기한 뷰 파인더(4)를 보면서 촬영을 할 수 있게 된다.When the guide protrusion 6 of the finder assembly 5 is inserted into the guide groove 7 of the main body 2, the viewfinder assembly 5 is seated on the upper surface of the main body 2. You can shoot while looking at (4).

즉, 상기한 뷰 파인더(4)가 화상 카메라에 장착되어 있기 때문에, 촬영자가 직접 뷰 파인더(4)를 보면서 촬영을 할 수 있게 되는 것이다.That is, since the above-described view finder 4 is attached to the image camera, the photographer can take a picture while looking directly at the view finder 4.

물론, 상기한 파인더 어셈블리(5)가 설치되면 화상 카메라의 크기가 커지게 되지만, 모니터등에 놓지 않고 사용하는 상태이기 때문에, 상기한 화상 카메라의 사용이 불편하지 않게 된다.Of course, when the above-described finder assembly 5 is installed, the size of the image camera increases, but since it is used without being placed on a monitor or the like, the use of the image camera is not inconvenient.

여기서, 상기한 파인더 어셈블리(5)에 형성된 가이드 돌기(6)와 본체(2)에 형성된 가이드 홈(7)은 삼각형상으로 형성되어 있기 때문에, 이동 자재한 상태에서 파인더 어셈블리(5)가 상면으로 이탈되지 않게 된다.Here, the guide protrusions 6 formed on the finder assembly 5 and the guide grooves 7 formed on the main body 2 are formed in a triangular shape, so that the finder assembly 5 is moved upward in a moving state. It will not break away.
