Problems solved by technology

As a result, not only the wall thickness of the bottom part of the flash instrument storage part 109 is superimposed on the height of the camera-integrated VTR 100, but also the height of the camera-integrated VTR 100 is superimposed on the space created above and below the bottom part. Therefore, they add up to constitute the overall height of the device, and there is a problem of increasing the size of the camera-integrated VTR100

Embodiment 1

[0097] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 to 15 show embodiments of the present invention.

[0098] Figure 1, Figure 2 and image 3 As shown, an embodiment of the imaging apparatus of the present invention is applied to a camera-integrated VTR. The camera-integrated VTR 20 includes: a hollow casing 21 formed of a substantially square frame; a battery power source 22 detachably attached to one side surface of the casing 21; and an objective lens 24 disposed on the front surface of the casing 21 The lens device (optical lens) 23; the liquid crystal display 25 which has both the functions of the viewfinder and the touch panel.

[0099] The housing 21 includes: a front surface portion 21a exposing the objective lens 24 and the focus ring 26; a right side surface portion 21b forming a right side side surface when viewed from the front; a left side surface portion 21c forming a left side side surface; ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a downsized and thinned imaging device which is achieved by downsizing a flash light device and reducing the number of parts, which is enabled by reducing a pop-up angle of the flash light device and improving the shape of a reflection mirror. An imaging device has an exterior case (21) where a lens device (23) is installed, a flash light device (33) supported, in the vicinity of an objective lens, by a strobe frame (60) so as to be movable between a pop-up position and a stowed position, a pop-up spring (65) for urging the flash light device (33) to the pop-up position, holding means for holding the flash light device (33) at the stowed position. The pop-up angle of the flash light device (33) is set to 20 degrees or less, so that a Fresnel lens (57) of a light emitting portion faces the front of an object in the pop-up position. The structure above enables the whole or almost the whole of reflected light to be efficiently radiated forward at a predetermined distribution angle, and a flash light device to be thinned and downsized.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device having a flash device that can be selectively moved to a pop-up position and a storage position, and in particular, to a reduction in the pop-up angle of the flash device and the improvement of the shape of the reflector to realize the overall miniaturization and thinning of the device and a camera unit with a reduced number of parts. Background technique [0002] As a conventional imaging device of this type, there is, for example, the type described in Patent Document 1 previously filed by the applicant of the present patent application. In Patent Document 1, a pop-up mechanism of a flash device and a camera device having the same are described. The pop-up mechanism of the flash device includes: a flash device supported so as to be movable between the pop-up position and the storage position, a spring mechanism for urging the flash device to the pop-up position, and a latch for keeping the flash dev...
