Data indicating the corrected phase difference ⁇ is input to the current position detection circuit 79, and the current position of the zoom lens is detected. A method of detecting the current position of the zoom lens will be described.
- FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are flowcharts showing the zoom lens position detection processing procedure
- FIG. 19 is a waveform diagram of signals output from the magnetic sensor device 50 when the zoom ring 9 is rotated in one direction. .

- the A-phase data, B-phase data, C-phase data, and D-phase data corresponding to the current zoom lens position are converted into analog / digital conversion circuits 61A, 61B, 61C. And 61D. It is assumed that the power is turned on at the timing shown at time T0 in FIG.
- the phase difference detection circuit 71 checks whether there are any changes in the A phase data, the B phase data, the C phase data, and the D phase data (step 81). After the power is turned on, the zoom ring 9 is rotated in one direction by the user, and if there is a change in the A phase data, B phase data, C phase data, and D phase data (YES in step 81), the phase difference detection circuit 71 At step 82, it is determined whether A-phase data, B-phase data, C-phase data, and D-phase data for one cycle (one pulse) have been detected (step 82).
- a phase data, B phase data, C phase data, and D phase data for one cycle (one pulse) are detected, A phase data, B phase data, and C phase data for one cycle (one pulse)
- the D phase data is normalized and stored in a memory (not shown) included in the phase difference detection circuit 71 (step 83).
- step 84 If the A-phase data, B-phase data, C-phase data, and D-phase data for 5 pulses are not stored in the memory within the phase difference detection circuit 71 (NO in step 84), the processing from step 81 is repeated.
- the rotation direction detection circuit 70 makes the zoom ring 9
- the rotation speed of the zoom ring 9 is detected by the rotation speed detection circuit 75 (step 85). From the detected rotation direction and rotation speed, a correction table used for correction is determined as described above (step 86).
- the A-phase data obtained at an arbitrary timing for example, the timing at which the A-phase amplitude becomes 0
- Arctan (A / B) -arctan (C / D) is calculated using the B-phase data, C-phase data, and D-phase data, and the phase difference ⁇ is calculated for each of the five pulses (step 87).
- the phase difference detection circuit 71 performs time T1 for each of the first pulse, the second pulse, the third pulse, the fourth pulse, and the fifth pulse output after the power is turned on. , T2, T3, T4, and T5, the phase differences ⁇ (1), ⁇ (2), ⁇ (3), ⁇ (4) and ⁇ (5) are respectively calculated.
- the average value of the phase differences ⁇ (1) to ⁇ (5) is calculated in the phase difference detection circuit 71 (step 88), and the correction amount of the calculated phase difference of the average value is determined as the determined correction value.
- the value is read from the table and corrected by the read correction amount (step 89), and the corrected average value is set as the phase difference at the third pulse, the phase difference at the third pulse and the first memory.
- the absolute position of the zoom lens corresponding to the phase difference of the third pulse (2 pulses before the current position) is obtained from the data that correlates the phase difference of the design value and the zoom lens position indicated in 76. Is determined (step 91).
- the current position detection circuit 79 adds or subtracts a movement amount corresponding to two pulses to the determined absolute position according to the rotation direction (zoom lens movement direction) output from the rotation direction detection circuit 70. Then, the absolute position of the zoom lens is determined (step 91).
- the current position detection circuit 79 adds a movement amount corresponding to two pulses to the determined absolute position. To confirm the absolute position. On the other hand, if the movement direction of the zoom lens is a direction in which the phase difference ⁇ changes from a large value to a small value, the current position detection circuit 79 subtracts a movement amount corresponding to two pulses from the determined absolute position. Confirm the absolute position. That is, the current position detection circuit 79 functions as an example of absolute position calculation means.
- the current position detection circuit 79 may output the determined absolute position to a display unit connected to the imaging apparatus main body 1 to notify the user.
- the A-phase data and the B-phase data signal are compared to move the zoom lens. Is counted, and the number of pulses of the A-phase data or B-phase data (for example, the number of pulses with accuracy multiplied by 64) is counted, and the relative position of the zoom lens with the determined absolute position as the reference position is detected. (Step S90).
- the current position of the zoom lens is determined based on a value obtained by correcting the average value of the phase differences obtained for each of the five pulses output from the magnetic sensor device 50.
- the influence of the uneven magnetization of the magnetic recording scale member 40 or the incorporation error of the lens barrel 2 can be reduced, and the detection accuracy of the current position can be improved.
- the average value of the phase difference for 5 pulses is used, but when the average value of the phase difference for 7 pulses is used, the average of the phase differences ⁇ obtained for each of the 7 pulses.
- the absolute position of the zoom lens at the 4th pulse is determined by this phase difference, and then the position shifted by 3 pulses from this absolute position is absolute What is necessary is just to confirm as a position.
- the value obtained by correcting the average value of the phase difference ⁇ obtained for each of the four pulses corresponds to the second pulse or the third pulse.
- the position shifted by two or one pulse from this absolute position can be determined as the absolute position. That's fine.
- the phase difference detection circuit 71 determines the absolute position corresponding to the value obtained by correcting the average value of the phase difference ⁇ calculated for each pulse.
- the final absolute position is determined by shifting the number of pulses divided by the quotient when dividing by 2. If the number of pulses is an even number, the absolute position corresponding to the average value of the phase difference ⁇ calculated for each pulse of the number of pulses is expressed as “quotient when the number of pulses is divided by 2” or “ (Quotient when the number of pulses is divided by 2) -1 ”The final absolute position is determined by shifting by the pulse.
- the number of pulses described above is preferably 3 or more considering the accuracy of the absolute position.
- the number of pulses is output from the magnetic sensor device 50 according to the angle at which the rotating cylinder 20 is rotated by one rotation operation (about 10 ° to 20 ° if the diameter ⁇ of the rotating cylinder 20 is about 80 mm). It is preferable to keep the same as the number of pulses (about 5 to 10).
- the user can know the absolute position of the zoom lens by simply turning the zoom ring 9 once in a certain direction after turning on the power of the lens barrel 20. , Work up to grasping the absolute position is simplified.
- the data obtained at the timing when the amplitude of the A-phase signal becomes 0 is used to calculate the phase difference.
- the data obtained at an arbitrary timing can be used.
- the phase difference ⁇ obtained from the data of the A phase, B phase, C phase, and D phase obtained when the amplitude of any of the A phase, B phase, C phase, or D phase becomes 0 is the A phase, B phase Compared with the phase difference ⁇ obtained from the data of the A phase, the B phase, the C phase, and the D phase obtained when the amplitude of each of the C phase and the D phase does not become 0, the value closer to the designed phase difference ( (Value with less error). Therefore, for each pulse, the phase difference ⁇ is calculated from the data of the A phase, B phase, C phase, or D phase obtained when the amplitude of any of the A phase, B phase, C phase, or D phase becomes 0. By calculating, the accuracy of the absolute position of the zoom lens finally obtained can be improved.
