Embodiment Construction

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings by taking a digital still camera (a form of a camera that captures a subject, hereinafter simply referred to as a "camera") as an example.

[0028] [About the composition of the camera, etc.]

[0029] figure 1 It is an external view of the camera according to the present embodiment from a front viewpoint (a view viewed from the front side), figure 2 This is an external view of the camera from the rear view point (a view from the rear side).

[0030] As shown in these figures, the camera 1 is configured to include a lens unit 12, a zoom ring 13, an AF auxiliary light 14, a flash light emitting device 15, a display 16, and an operation switch 17 in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing 11. Wait. The camera 1 has an optical system for photographing a subject, and is assumed to be used for photographing a subject with the front side facing the subject.

Abstract

The invention provides a camera, in which a zoom position and a focus position can be readily replicated without the need for a mechanism for automatically replicating the zoom position. The camera, comprising an optical system for capturing an image of a subject, in which the zoom position and the focus position are adjusted by an adjustment operation performed by a user; the camera further comprising a replication information holding unit for recording and holding the zoom position and the focus position adjusted by the adjustment operation as a replication zoom position and a replication focus position respectively; and a replication assistance unit for assisting replication of the zoom position and the focus position; the replication assistance unit being configured so as to automatically adjust the focus position to the replication focus position when the zoom position is adjusted by the adjustment operation so as to substantially match the replication zoom position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a camera used for photographing a subject. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, cameras for photographing subjects have been widely used. In general, a camera can adjust a zoom position and a focus position for proper shooting. In addition, autofocus (in this application, sometimes referred to as "AF") and manual focus (in this application, sometimes referred to as "MF") are known for adjusting the focus position. In the case of MF, the user performs adjustment of the focus position by himself. [0003] In addition, there are various models of cameras, and one of them has a manual zoom lens. In this model, the user adjusts the zoom position by rotating a zoom ring. Models with a manual zoom lens are highly evaluated by users because they can provide a simulated feeling in the zoom adjustment operation, and can perform rapid zoom adjustment and the like. [0004] In addition, there are various uses of the c...
