  • Publication number: 20140240465
    Abstract: [Object] To preferably set a focus distance and a convergence distance. [Solving Means] A three-dimensional image pickup apparatus 100 is provided with a left lens optical system 121L and a right lens optical system 121R including a pair of right and left image pickup lenses disposed at a predetermined inter axial distance. Further, a focus ring that adjusts the focus of the left lens optical system 121L and the right lens optical system 121R and a control circuit that adjusts a convergence distance from a convergence point at which optical axes of the pair of right and left image pickup lenses are intersected to the image pickup lenses. The control circuit adds the offset distance to the focus distance and adjusts the convergence distance with the offset distance set as a distance from a focus point to a convergence point to be set.

  • Publication number: 20120257022
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging section converting image light impinging thereon through a lens device into an electrical imaging signal; an imaging process section processing the imaging signal output by the imaging section; an output section converting the imaging signal processed by the imaging process section into an image signal in a predetermined format and outputting the image signal; a terminal for synchronization for connection with another imaging apparatus; and an imaging control section controlling imaging at timing in synchronism with the other imaging apparatus and putting the lens device in the same state of control as the state of control of the other imaging apparatus when the communication with the other imaging apparatus can be performed through the terminal section for synchronization.

  • Publication number: 20090200090
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multiple-point grounding type foot portion supporting mechanism having excellent reliability, in which the respective supporting points passively follow unevenness of the grounding surface such as a road surface, and which is capable of quickly supporting foot bottoms at polygonal points and preventing falling over even on a grounding surface having level differences by fixing the supporting points when all supporting points are grounded.
