JPH03254577A - Video image pickup device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a video image pickup device able to prevent the deflection of a picture and blurring by providing a lens part able to photograph toward an arbitrary direction. CONSTITUTION:Photographing is executed with a lens part 2 toward an object at the photographing, when the object moves, the photographing is executed with a lens part 13 toward the object without moving a movie main body 11 by operating a switch 14 and making the lens part 13 drive with a driving part 12. Besides, sound is recorded at the same time by providing a microphone 15 at the neighborhood of the lens part 13. Thus, even when the object moves, it is not necessary to move the movie main body 11 and the deflection of a picture and so on owing to the blurring of an image pickup device at the photographing can be prevented.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a video imaging device.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the demand for video imaging devices, particularly video integrated cameras (hereinafter referred to as "movie"), has shown remarkable growth. Under these circumstances, when photographing a subject, the common use was to move the movie to match the movement of the subject.

An example of a conventional video imaging device will be described below. In FIG. 2, 1 is a movie main body, and 2 is a lens portion on the front end side of this movie main body 1. In FIG.

To explain the operation of the movie shown in Fig. 2,
First, when photographing a subject, the lens unit 2 is directed toward the subject and the subject photographed by the lens unit 2 is recorded in the movie body 1 in the case of a movie. If the subject moves, the movie main body 1 and lens unit 2 are moved in accordance with the subject's movement to take the picture.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional configuration described above has the drawback that the movie main body 1 and the lens unit 2 are moved in accordance with the movement of the subject, which causes blurring and shaking of the image.

The present invention solves these problems, and even if the subject moves, only the lens part moves in accordance with the subject, and the main body part remains stationary to take pictures, thereby preventing blurring and shaking of the image. The object of the present invention is to provide a video imaging device that has the following features.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention includes an imaging device main body, a lens section provided in the imaging device main body for photographing, and a lens section that is driven relative to the imaging device main body. The drive unit includes a drive unit that causes the drive unit to move, and a switch that operates the drive unit.

Effect: With this configuration, even if the subject moves during shooting,
By driving only the lens part and pointing it toward the subject, it is possible to eliminate movement of the main body part and prevent blurring and shaking.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a movie main body, and a lens section 13 is provided at the front end of the movie main body, which is rotatable by 3600 degrees and driven by a drive section 12 in accordance with the movement of the subject. 1
4 is a switch provided on the movie main body 11 for operating the lens portion 13; and 15 is an audio microphone provided near the lens portion 13 so as to be driven integrally with the lens portion 13.

Next, to explain the operation of the movie configured as above, when shooting, the lens section 2 is aimed at the subject, but when the subject moves, the drive section 12 is activated by operating the switch 14. By driving the lens section 13, the lens section 13 can be moved without moving the movie main body 11.
You can shoot by pointing the camera at the subject. Furthermore, by providing the microphone 15 near the lens section 13, it is possible to simultaneously record audio.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the lens section 1 is capable of moving separately from the movie main body 11 and operates in accordance with the subject.
3 and the microphone 14 and the drive section 1 that drives them.
2, it is not necessary to move the movie main body 11 even if the subject moves, and it is possible to prevent blurring of the image due to shake of the imaging device during shooting.

In the above embodiment, the microphone 15 is provided below the lens portion 13, but it may be provided above.

In addition, the lens section 13 and the microphone 15 are connected to the switch 14.
However, separate switches may be provided for each to enable separate operations.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a lens section that can take pictures in any direction, it is possible to take pictures by moving only the lens section without moving the main body of the imaging device.
This makes it possible to realize an excellent video imaging device that can prevent blurring and blurring of images.
