Abstract: An image reproducing apparatus includes: an image pick up device which picks up an image recorded on a recording medium; a reproduction designator which designates a reproduction area of the picked up image and sets a reproduction manner of reproducing an image in the reproduction area; a control change amount setter which calculates a change amount of reproduction state of the image every a predetermined period based on the set reproduction manner and sets a control change amount based on the calculated change amount; and a controller which controls the reproduction in such a way that the reproduction state changes at the set control change amount.

Abstract: A compact film player has a picture reproducing unit and an information reading unit capable of reading a photographing information on each frame of the film. When a developed film is fed in an inlet of the picture reproducing unit in a prescribed direction, a scan mirror scans a picture provided on the film perpendicularly to the feed direction, so that a line sensor takes the picture every line. The line sensor and the scan mirror read two-dimensional pictures provided on the film. When the picture of the frame previously read is on display, the scan of the next frame is effected.

Abstract: A digital camera 1 includes a main body 2 and an image pickup section 3 connected to the main body rotatably. The main body 2 has a display monitor 10 which displays an object picture. A switch SCPOS2 detects rotation position of the image pickup section 3. When the image pickup direction of the image pickup section 3 is detected to agree generally with the direction to the side of display monitor, the image data taken by the image pickup section is displayed in the display monitor with reversal upside down, while it is recorded without reversal in an IC card 35. Thus, when a photographer takes a picture thereof, the picture can be taken and recorded at a fast speed without a complicated and expensive circuit.

Abstract: A viewfinding system for use with an optical system that creates a first object image includes an objective block which is sealed as a unit. The objective block includes a focusing screen for forming the first object image and relay optics for transmitting the first object image. A zoom block includes a zoom optical system for providing a modification of the magnification of the first object image to provide a second object image. An eyepiece block receives the second object image and includes a reflecting member and an eyepiece through which the second object image is observed. The eyepiece block is sealed and the second object image is realized within the sealed eyepiece block.

Abstract: A photographed image reproducing apparatus is used to reproduce photographic images recorded on successive frames of a film having magnetic tracks on which information is writable for each frame. The apparatus includes a read/write device for reading or writing frame information on the magnetic track. The frame information is read or written in one transporting direction while the image is sensed in the other transporting direction. Also, an information reader is provided at an upstream portion while the information writer is provided at a downstream portion to enable the reading and writing to be executed at the same time. The apparatus considerably reduces the reproduction time.

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing images recorded on successive frames of a film recorded with information, the apparatus includes a film feeder which feeds the film in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction; an information reader which reads the recorded information; a density detector which detects a density of each image; and a controller which controls the film feeder, information reader, and density detector. The information reader is worked when the film is fed in the first direction, the density detector is worked when the film is fed in the second direction. A detected image density is adapted for determining an exposure value at which each image is picked up to reproduce the image.

Abstract: In still frame images from a film, the first frame of an image block is produced in a fade-in manner for gradually outputting a picture. If the end of a beginning part of a theme block is detected from information for a next frame, the process is advanced to a step to select a production method including relevantly large movement on the assumption that the scene is moved to an intermediate part of the theme block. If the intermediate part is ended, a different production method including relevantly small movement is selected on the assumption that the scene is moved to an end part.

Abstract: A mechanism, for reproducing images of a developed film, which reads film information recorded in a magnetic track formed along a pair of edges extending longitudinally of a leader of the film. The reading of the magnetic track is carried out by pressing a magnetic head against the magnetic track of the film leader at the time of rewinding into a cartridge case the film which is once fed out a predetermined length from the cartridge case. When the film is rewound into the cartridge case at the time of reading the film information, the surface of the film leader is pressed by the magnetic head uniformly because the film leader is tightened even and flat by a tension working between the cartridge case and the magnetic head.

Abstract: A film image reproducing apparatus for reproducing a film image of each frame of a film, includes: an image pick up device which picks up a film image; a reproducer which is operable to reproduce specified areas of the picked up film image; an information reader which reads information recorded on the film concerning the orientation of the film image; a reproducing direction designator which designates a reproducing direction of images in the areas; and a controller which controls the reproducer based on the read information and the designated reproducing direction so as to reproduce the image areas in the designated reproducing direction while keeping an image in each image area in a specified reference orientation irrespective of the direction of the film image on the film. This apparatus can constantly move an image in a designated direction regardless of the orientation of the film image.

Abstract: A film image pickup device uses a cartridge in which film is fed out of the cartridge by causing a spool around which the film is wound to rotate. The film image pickup device includes a drive roller and a driven roller that are located near the film outlet of the cartridge and that are used for the conveyance of the film. The drive roller and driven roller are constructed such that either roller can come into contact with or retract from the other roller. Either of the drive roller and the driven roller has a barrel-shaped cross-sectional configuration while the other has a bobbin-shaped cross-sectional configuration, to impart a curvature to the film as it is pulled out of the cartridge.

Abstract: A zoom viewfinder system for a single reflex camera comprises a relay optical system through which said first object image is formed as a second object image and plural reflecting members for reflecting light rays of said first object image, wherein the reflecting members except one reflecting member provided closest to a first object image is moved in order to adjust an angle of light rays of the first object image to the reflecting members. The zoom viewfinder system also comprises a holder for holding the reflecting members located parallel in the relay optical system in order to determine relative positions of the reflecting members precisely. The zoom viewfinder system further comprises holding members for holding plural parts of an optical system respectively, wherein each part is fixed to compose a viewfinder system, so that assembly and maintenance can be easy and the optical axis can be prevented from deviating.

Abstract: A radiation thermometer has a detector for receiving radiation energy from a target object, and the detector generates an AC signal as a result of movement of a chopper. The AC signal is rectified by a rectifying circuit and the rectified signal is supplied to a microcomputer. On the other hand, temperatures around the detector are detected by a temperature sensor and the temperature of the target object is measured based on those detected values. In addition, the radiation thermometer has various calibration modes other than a measurement mode. In a calibration mode I, calibration data concerning a difference in characteristics of the temperature sensor for each thermometer is obtained. Data for correcting timing for synchronous rectification by the rectifying circuit is obtained in a calibration mode II. Calibration data for calculation of the temperature of the target object is obtained in a calibration mode III.
