Patent number: 11838632Abstract: A driving control apparatus is configured to control a driving unit that moves relative to each other a vibrator that is excited to vibrate by applying a first driving signal and a second driving signal that have a phase difference with each other, and a contact member that contacts the vibrator. The driving control apparatus includes a first control unit configured to control the phase difference, and a second control unit configured to control a voltage amplitude of each of the first driving signal and the second driving signal. The second control unit controls the voltage amplitude so that a change rate of the voltage amplitude increases as an absolute value of the phase difference decreases.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Junichi Maniwa, Kenya Fukabori, Yusuke Kazami, Takeshi Omata, Sairi Iwata, Ryota Ogawa

Patent number: 10893188Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device that photoelectrically converts an optical image obtained through a focus lens. The focus lens is moved to a focus position set by focus detection performed based on image signals from the imaging device with a first aperture value. A first correction amount of the set focus position is acquired according to a difference between the first aperture value and a second aperture value to be used at a time of photographing. Photographing is executed at a determined focus position at the time of photographing, by a user's operation. If the first correction amount is larger than a predetermined amount, a focus position corrected according to the first correction amount is determined as the focus position at the time of photographing, and if not, the set focus position is determined as the focus position at the time of photographing.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masaki Tokioka, Hiromi Kotoku, Hidetoshi Abe, Takeshi Omata, Kenya Fukabori, Naoki Iwasaki, Hiroaki Kurisu
