  • Patent number: 10999510
    Abstract: A digital camera (100) includes a plurality of drive units that moves a movable member (2) including an imaging element (20) in directions X, Y, and ? along a light receiving surface (20a) of the imaging element (20), and a system controller (108) that controls the plurality of drive units. The system controller (108) includes a power amount decision unit (108A) that decides power amounts to be supplied to the plurality of drive units for moving the movable member (2) to a target position, and a drive controller (108B) that performs a first control for reducing a total value of the power amounts decided by the power amount decision unit (108A) while maintaining a ratio between the power amounts decided by the power amount decision unit (108A) and supplying the power amounts after the reduction to the drive units.

  • Publication number: 20200404184
    Abstract: The imaging device includes: a magnet; a Hall element that detects magnetism generated by the magnet; a substrate to which one of the magnet and the Hall element and an imaging element, which outputs a taken image obtained by taking an optical image transmitted through an imaging optical system, are fixed and which moves the position of the imaging element in directions perpendicular to an optical axis; a drive portion that drives the substrate; a fixing portion to which the other of the magnet and the Hall element is fixed and which is fixed to an imaging device body; and a body-side main controller that performs control to drive the substrate on the basis of the moving distance of the imaging element derived on the basis of the detection result of the Hall element, the temperature of the magnet, and the temperature of the Hall element.

  • Patent number: 7471888
    Abstract: A cellular telephone handset has a built-in image pickup device. A lid shaped reception unit is slidable on a transmission unit or main body between closed and open positions, lies on a first surface of the main body when in the closed position, and uncovers at least part of the first surface when in the open position. An image sensor to pick up an image is contained in the main body. A first lens element receives object light incident thereon. Plural second lens elements in the main body have an optical axis extending in a sliding direction of the lid shaped reception unit, for introducing the object light to the image sensor. A path bending prism introduces the object light to the second lens elements by changing an optical path of the object light from the first lens element. An optical path length of the second lens elements is changeable.
