Patent number: 7876373Abstract: A camera includes a first image pickup section that photographs a recording-purpose image, a viewfinder optical system, a second image pickup section, a mounting section, a display processing section, a displaying section, and a controlling section. The viewfinder optical system has an eyepiece section that can observe an optical image of a subject with a light flux from a photographing optical path of the first image pickup section. The second image pickup section photographs a view confirming image from an optical path different from that of the first image pickup section. The mounting section acquires focal-length information of an interchangeable lens. The display processing section executes display processing that superimposes a frame indicating a range of a field angle of the first image pickup section, onto the view confirming image. The displaying section provides the eyepiece section with the view confirming image having been processed with the display processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Masahito Ochi, Hisashi Sano, Toshiaki Maeda, Kazuma Hosoi, Akira Ohmura

Patent number: 7852395Abstract: A camera includes a first image pickup section, a viewfinder optical system, a second image pickup section, a displaying section, an operation section, and a controlling section. The viewfinder optical system has an eyepiece section that can observe an optical image of a subject with a light flux from a photographing optical path of the first image pickup section. The second image pickup section photographs a view confirming image from an optical path different from that of the first image pickup section. The displaying section provides the eyepiece section with the view confirming image. The operation section accepts from a user a displaying operation to ask for displaying of the view confirming image. The controlling section switches between a first state to provide the eyepiece section with the optical image and a second state to provide the eyepiece section with the view confirming image.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Masahito Ochi, Toshiaki Maeda

Patent number: 7034967Abstract: An image reading apparatus for imaging an original document or photographic film includes an original placement bed on which to place the original, and a reading device to form an image of the original. A transparent original adapter, detachably connected to the image reading apparatus, includes a delivery device that moves the original along an original placement plane of the original placement bed. The transparent original adapter also includes a lighting device that illuminates the original as the reading device forms the image of the original. A film position adjustment device adjusts the original away from the original placement plane when the original is moved, and against the original when the image of the original is read by the reading device.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2002Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Masahito Ochi, Hidehayu Tsukagoshi, Takuya Shirahata
