Abstract: A digital camera is provided that includes a rotation operation member unit having a circumferential surface, a sheet fixed to the circumferential surface of the rotation operation member unit, and a photo reflector provided at a position facing the sheet that applies light to the sheet and detects the light reflected from the sheet. In the sheet, regions that reflect light to a level at which a photo reflector can detect the reflected light and regions that do not reflect the light are alternately formed. Additionally, a convex portion that is formed in the sheet in the rotation axis direction of the rotation operation member unit, and a concave portion that is formed in the rotation axis direction of the rotation operation member unit are engaged.

Abstract: A hinge unit which can be positively prevented from rotating in an opening direction from a fully open position, without being increased in size. The hinge unit includes a fixed member fixed to a camera body, a rotational shaft rotatably held by the fixed member, a holding member fixed to the rotational shaft in a state holding the image display section, and a clamping member having a pair of clamping portions for diametrically clamping the rotational shaft and configured to rotate in unison with the rotational shaft. In a case where the holding member rotates in the opening direction to a fully open position, one of the clamping portions is brought into abutment with the fixed member to thereby prevent the holding member from rotating in the opening direction from the fully open position.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an actuator capable of retaining an image-shake correcting lens in a position(s) at which a calibration of lens optics can be affected, without additional locking means.

Abstract: A parallel moving device includes a fixed plate provided on a housing side, a moving frame provided on an optical system side, and three pin-shaped members each of which is provided between the fixed plate and the moving frame and has one end coming into contact the fixed plate and the other end coming into contact the moving frame to support these members, the pin-shaped members allowing the moving frame to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical system. Each of these pin-shaped members supports the moving frame in parallel to the fixed plate, has ends that contact the fixed plate and the moving frame and that have curved surfaces, and tilts in the substantially perpendicular direction in response to movement of the moving frame about the one end as a fulcrum.

Abstract: A focusing detection sensor is positioned in a viewfinder in a single-lens reflex camera but is nevertheless able to determine a focal point on an image of an object with enhanced accuracy. For that purpose, a single-lens reflex camera includes a camera body having a focusing plate with a reference mark in an optically equivalent position to film, a viewfinder replaceably attached to the camera body, a focal point detecting means for determining a focal point, deviation detection means for determining deviations for both the reference mark and the focal point, respectively, calibration means for correcting focal point data based on the output from the deviation detecting means, and a trigger means for enabling a user to activate the calibration means.
