  • Camera with optoelectric transducer arrangement rotatable about axis perpendicular to image plane
    Patent number: 6812959
    Abstract: An optoelectric transducer arrangement (7b) is moved by being driven and by being controlled by means of cam/curve guides to convert the whole image to be imaged in a still camera despite that said transducer has a sensor surface that is smaller than the image area to be imaged in the image plane (B). The cam/curve arrangement includes four cam disks (15), for example, whereby one cam disk (15a) is driven by a motor. The transducer (7b) rides on a transducer carrier plate (21), which is moved by means of cams (19) on the cam disks (15, 15a). The transducer movement occurs thereby in a translatory manner.
