  • Patent number: 6925255
    Abstract: A camera is provided which includes a camera exterior housing which covers the camera and which has an inclined surface. A first electric part and a second electric part are provided such that longitudinal directions thereof are parallel. A first end surface of the first electric part and a first end surface of the second electric part are disposed along an inner wall of the inclined surface of the exterior housing so as to form a step. In addition, a connector for connection of a flexible printed substrate is provided which includes a connector terminal array provided in a connector main body and a holding member which is adapted to switch between a holding position and a releasing position. The flexible printed substrate is insertable and removable with respect to a first side of the connector main body when the holding member is in the releasing position.

  • Publication number: 20040036795
    Abstract: A focusing apparatus includes a filter unit for performing frequency filtering processing on an image pickup signal, and a focus position detecting unit for detecting a focus position based on the contrast value of the image pickup signal having undergone the frequency filtering processing by the filter unit. The filter unit has a first filter for normal position detection, and a second filter for infinity position detection having a frequency characteristic different from that of the first filter, and selects the first filter or the second filter.

  • Publication number: 20040008982
    Abstract: A camera of the present invention comprises a sensor unit for measuring a distance to a subject. Moreover, the sensor unit includes a photoelectric conversion element, a housing with which the photoelectric conversion element is covered and in which a first through hole is formed in a predetermined position, and an electric substrate which is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element and in which a second through hole is formed in the predetermined position. Furthermore, the second through hole formed in the electric substrate is disposed opposite to the first through hole formed in the housing in a state in which the electric substrate is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element.
