Abstract: It is possible to provide a camera module manufacturing method and a camera model which can improve performance of a camera module without complicating the manufacturing method. A light shield is formed on the side surface of each lens body (11) and a lens support member (12). Thus it is possible to obtain the diaphragm function for regulating the incident light flux transmission area and the function for suppressing the intrusion of stray light without using a separate diaphragm or a light shielding member.

Abstract: A conveyance apparatus comprises a transformer having a core, a primary coil connected to an alternate power source and a secondary coil connected to an output coil, a holding section including a conductive member for heating fluid by high frequency induction heating based on magnetic field generated by the output coil, the holding section for supplying fluid heated by the conductive member and for holding a heating object by the fluid, wherein, the secondary coil is capable of relatively moving to or relatively swinging on the core while the holding section moves.

Abstract: The lens unit for the optical pick-up apparatus has: the objective lens by which the projecting light from the light source is condensed on the information recording surface of the optical information recording medium; the phase control element which is arranged on the light source side to the objective lens, and which controls the phase of the projecting light from the light source; and the supporting member holding the objective lens and the phase control element; and the phase control element is held under the condition that its optical axis is inclined by a predetermined angle to the optical axis of the objective lens, and the intersection at which the optical axis of the phase control element crosses the optical surface having the phase structure is arranged on the optical path passing through the central point which passes the optical axis of the objective lens.

Abstract: A camera in use with a photographic film in a cartridge.

Abstract: A camera for reading film information expressed with a bar code, which is provided on a bar code plate being rotatable with a spool of a film cartridge, through a window of the film cartridge. The camera includes: a driver for rotating the spool; an optical reading device for reading the bar code, and for generating a bar code information including the film information; a detecting circuit for detecting a reference position of the bar code according to the bar code information, and a memory device for storing the bar code information being read by the optical reading device. In the camera, the driver rotates the spool in a film rewinding direction after a film in the film cartridge is rewound so that the detector circuit detects the reference position of the bar code according to the bar code information stored in the memory device, and the driver rotates the spool according to the reference position so as to locate a bar code portion corresponding to exposed state of the film.

Abstract: A camera having a trimming function capable of recording trimming information includes a lens barrel having a picture-taking lens capable of moving between protruding and retracting positions, a lens barrel driver to drive the lens barrel, a zoom viewfinder driver to change a magnification of the viewfinder, a film winder to winding a photographic film, a film rewinder to rewind the film, a motor to feed the film. The camera further includes a driver to drive the film winder when the motor is forwardly rotated, and also to drive the film rewinder or the zoom viewfinder driver when the motor is reversely rotated, and a switch to switch over between the zoom viewfinder driver and the film rewinder in accordance with a position of the lens barrel.

In the camera, the driver starts rotating the spool in a film rewinding direction when the film cartridge is set in the camera and before a film in the film cartridge is loaded to a photographing position so that the optical reading device reads the bar code information, the detecting circuit detects the reference position, and the memory device stores the bar code information.

Abstract: A photographic roll film cartridge in which a roll film is stored in an initial packaged condition before being used for photographing. In the initial packaged condition, the leading edge portion of the roll film protrudes out of the cartridge by a length of 10 mm to 25 mm.

Abstract: A camera for accommodating a film cartridge which includes a film being rolled on the axis in a lightproof condition. The camera includes; a cartridge chamber for receiving the film cartridge in the axial direction; an ejecting member for ejecting the film cartridge which is placed in the cartridge chamber; and a positioning member for positioning the film cartridge at a fixed position in the cartridge chamber; wherein the positioning member includes an engaging claw which is interchangeable between a first condition that the engaging claw is movable by a pressing force of the film cartridge while the film cartridge is inserted into the cartridge chamber by an operator, and a second condition, after insertion of the film cartridge into the cartridge chamber is completed, that the engaging claw is pushed by a spring member so that the engaging claw engages with a side end of the film cartridge.

Abstract: A display device in a real image type viewfinder includes an optical member having an image formation surface thereon, which is provided between an objective lens and an eyepiece. An object image is formed by the objective lens on the image formation surface. A display section in a view field frame to display the view field frame is provided when an inclined surface portion is formed in a direction in which a peripheral portion of the image formation surface of the optical member is protruded with respect to the image formation surface.

Abstract: A zoom camera being capable of changing a distance measuring direction to measure an object distance, and more particularly a camera which indicates the distance measuring direction overlapped on an object image in a view finder display. An object image is displayed in a finder display through an optical system, thereby the magnification of the object image in the view finder changes in accordance with a zooming of the camera. An indicator array is arranged on the view finder display, and the distance measuring direction is indicated by an activation of an indicator element of the indicator array located at a corresponding position to an object position in the distance measuring direction.
