  • Patent number: 5839004
    Abstract: A device and a method for facilitating the focusing of a camera during a so-called tilt operation, in which an image plane/focusing plane of a camera is angled relative the optical axis of an objective lens or vice versa, in order to obtain an inclined plane of focus, the camera being provided with a focusing screen located in said image plane/focusing plane and an optical viewing location, the optical axis which coincides with the optical axis of said focusing screen, said tilt operation resulting in the exiting light from the focusing screen being directed away from said viewing location, wherein an optical wedge is located between said focusing screen and said viewing location in such a way as to redirect the exiting light to said viewing location at which an eyepiece or an observer's eye is located. In a preferred embodiment, said optical wedge is a fresnel prism plate located adjacent to said focusing screen on the side of the exiting light.
