Then, the optimum LPF effect is obtained by adjusting the moving path of the image sensor 17 according to the acquired aperture value and resolving power.

- the relationship between the aperture value and the Rayleigh resolution limit (two-point separation width) p is shown in FIG.
- the horizontal axis represents the aperture F value (Fno)
- the vertical axis represents the Rayleigh resolution limit p ⁇ m.
- the image sensor 17 does not require an LPF when the diaphragm 13 is narrower than F8.

- the digital single-lens reflex camera 10 gives an appropriate LPF effect according to the influence of diffraction by the diaphragm 13 and prevents the generation of moire fringes and false colors, while preventing a reduction in resolution and high resolution. I have a sense of image.
- the length (radius r) of one side of the moving path of the image sensor 17 is set according to the aperture value set by the DSP 21 and the pixel pitch P of the image sensor 17, and the image sensor vibration circuit.
- the image sensor 17 is moved along a square (circular) path (low-pass filter operation) by the image sensor 33 and the camera shake correction device 40, and the image sensor vibration circuit 33 is turned off to obtain an appropriate LPF effect.
- the LPF effect strength can be controlled by setting it to be more or less.
- the amount of movement at the Rayleigh resolution limit is not a condition for obtaining a sufficient LPF effect, and R, GR, GB, and B pixels can share a single light beam, so that a sufficient LPF effect is obtained. There may be a case where a sufficient LPF effect cannot be obtained (the LPF effect is weak) if the moving amount is less than the Rayleigh resolution limit.
- the digital single lens reflex camera 10 of the present invention adjusts the LPF effect according to the resolving power at the time of photographing so that the optimum LPF effect according to the resolving power (MTF) of the photographing lens 11 can be obtained.
- FIG. 6A shows the state of the resolving power (MTF) that changes depending on the diaphragm at the same spatial frequency
- FIG. 6B shows the state of the resolving power (MTF) that changes depending on the change of the spatial frequency at the same diaphragm.
- FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C are graphs showing differences in imaging states due to differences in resolving power (MTF).
- the pixel pitch of the image sensor 17 is large with respect to the resolving power (MTF) of the photographing lens 11 (when the resolving power (MTF) is relatively high), a low-pass filter operation is performed so that a strong LPF effect can be obtained. It is preferable to obtain an effect.
- the pixel pitch is small (when the resolving power (MTF) is relatively low), it is possible to obtain a sufficient LPF effect even with a low-pass filter operation with a weak LPF effect.
- the resolving power (MTF) is low, if the LPF effect is strengthened, the resolving power becomes worse and the resolution is reduced.
- the LPF effect is adjusted by adjusting the low-pass filter operation of the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 according to the resolving power (MTF) of the photographing lens 11 to prevent the occurrence of moire fringes and false colors.
- MTF resolving power
- the DSP 21 causes the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 to perform a low-pass filter operation using one of the aperture value of the aperture 13 and the resolving power of the photographing lens group L will be described as an example. did.
- the DSP 21 uses both the aperture value of the aperture 13 and the resolving power of the taking lens group L to cause the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 to perform a low-pass filter operation.
- the resolving power of the photographic lens varies depending on the photographic lens, but there are many photographic lenses that peak when the aperture is set slightly smaller than the maximum.
- the MTF generally increases as the aperture is reduced.
- the MTF increases, but diffraction due to the influence of the diaphragm also occurs. Therefore, if the diaphragm is stopped more than a certain amount, the MTF decreases.
- the MTF also changes depending on the spatial frequency of the subject. The higher the subject's spatial frequency, the lower the MTF (FIG. 5B). In consideration of the LPF effect, a lens having a low MTF at a high frequency does not need to have a strong LPF effect.
- the MTF is Since the 20% photographic lens has a contrast of 20% at a spatial frequency close to the pixel pitch, the LPF effect may be weakened.
- the photographic lens with an MTF of 80% has sufficient contrast at a spatial frequency close to the pixel pitch. It is necessary to make the LPF effect sufficiently strong.
- the influence of diffraction by the stop is small in the case of a photographic lens having a spatial frequency MTF corresponding to the resolution limit of the image sensor 17 of about 20%. It is preferable to weaken the LPF effect regardless of the aperture value.
- an imaging lens having an MTF of, for example, about 80% generally has a large influence of diffraction due to the stop. For this reason, it is preferable to control the LPF effect to be weak when the resolving power falls due to the influence of diffraction due to narrowing down.
- the LPF effect is strongly applied even in the case of an MTF 20% photographing lens, resulting in a decrease in resolution.
- the influence of diffraction by the diaphragm also appears in the MTF characteristics, but MTF affects the contrast ratio and is an index that is not directly linked to the spread of the point image like diffraction (FIGS. 6 and 7). Therefore, another embodiment of the present invention enables fine control of the LPF effect by using both the MTF and the aperture value.
- the photographer manually operates the low-pass filter operation unit 29 to turn on / off the LPF effect, and the setting of the strength of the LPF effect can be achieved by the difference or expression of the subject. It can be selected whether priority is given or priority is given to elimination of influences such as false colors and moire. For example, if the LPF effect is used, the resolution is reduced, and if the false color or moire fringes are not concerned, the low-pass filter operation of the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 is turned off or the resolution is sensed.
- the low-pass filter operation of the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 is turned on, and a sense of resolution is desired, but both false color and moiré are reduced. If desired, the effectiveness of the LPF effect by the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 can be manually adjusted freely.
- the image sensor 17 is operated by the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40.
- the image sensor 17 is vibrated (moved) only in the vertical direction by the image sensor vibration circuit 33 and the camera shake correction device 40 in the case of a vertically continuous pattern. Since the LPF effect can be put in, a flexible setting is possible, and a high resolution can be maintained while giving the minimum LPF effect and preventing the occurrence of moire fringes and false colors.
- the above-described digital single-lens reflex camera 10 is an interchangeable lens camera in which the photographing lens 11 can be attached to and detached from the camera body, but the photographing lens group L is integrated with the camera body. However, it can also be applied to digital cameras integrated with the camera body. In this case, the resolving power data of the photographing lens and the data related to the aperture necessary for the DSP 21 to obtain the LPF effect are written in the memory 35 of the camera body 20 in advance.
- the digital single-lens reflex camera 10 changes the open aperture or the resolving power when the focal length varies, so that the open aperture information and the resolving power information are input from the zoom lens during the photographing operation.

Abstract
Description
前記駆動部は、別の態様では、前記イメージセンサを、所定辺長の正方形経路で移動させ、前記駆動制御部により、この所定の辺長を変化させて光学的なローパスフィルタ効果を与えることができる。
このイメージセンサ17は、このグラフから分かるように、絞り13がF8よりも絞り込まれている場合、LPFは不要である。そこでこのデジタル一眼レフカメラ10は、絞り13をF8以上絞り込んでいるとき、またはレイリーの解像限界の幅が6μm以上のとき、イメージセンサ振動回路33及び手ぶれ補正装置40のローパスフィルタ動作をOFFする。
以上の実施形態ではイメージセンサ17を振れ補正部材としたが、本発明は、撮影レンズ11の一部をなすレンズの一つを振れ補正部材として、このレンズを撮影レンズ11の光軸と直交する平面内で駆動することにより、被写体光束を前記イメージセンサの複数の検出色の異なる画素に入射させて光学的なローパスフィルタ効果を得る構成としてもよい。
