  • Patent number: 7292282
    Abstract: A main frame of a camera body has a CMOS image sensor and an eyepiece of an optical finder, and the lens unit popped up from the camera body has a taking lens and an objective lens of the optical finder. Light shielding walls are formed on the main frame, and light shielding walls are formed on the lens unit. When the lens unit is popped up, the light shielding walls and the light shielding walls slightly overlap each other, thus preventing a light from the optical finder from entering the CMOS image sensor. Thus, the digital camera has a lens unit popped up from a camera body and prevents unnecessary lights other than a subject light from entering an image pickup device.

  • Patent number: 6965734
    Abstract: Pawls are formed on an outer peripheral portion of an operation dial at intervals equal to step rotating angles of the operation dial so that a user's finger nail can be placed on one of the pawls to rotate the dial. When the finger nail is placed on one of the pawls to rotate the operation dial, the finger nail placed on that pawl abuts against a stopper provided on a camera main body. Thus, rotation of the operation dial is stopped at each step rotating angle.

  • Patent number: 6943963
    Abstract: When a wheel is rotated, first inclined portions of end surface cams provided on the wheel push corresponding cam followers formed on a movable cylinder. Accordingly, the movable cylinder holding a photographing lens is extended. Then, when each of the cam followers reaches a first flat portion of the corresponding end surface cam, the movable cylinder is placed in a photographing position. In the photographing position, when the wheel is further rotated, the cam follower is pushed by a second inclined portion of the end surface cam. The movable cylinder is thus extended. Then, when the cam follower reaches a second flat portion of the corresponding end surface cam, the movable cylinder is placed in a macro photographing position.
