Abstract

A portable image pickup apparatus comprising a camera in the apparatus proper. The apparatus comprises an attachment fittable over the apparatus proper and having a part that aligns with at least an image pickup lens 6 of the camera unit. The part has a special image pickup function unit (telescopic lens) to give a special image pickup effect to an image picked up by the camera unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a camcorder equipped with a camera and mounted on the wrist, and an attachment detachably attached to the camcorder. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a digital still camera (digital still camera) has been widely used as a video camera for digitally storing photographic images. [0003] In recent years, due to the miniaturization of imaging-related components such as CCD (Charge Coupled Device) modules and CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) sensors, they can be assembled at high density, so small-sized , Portable (for example, can be mounted on the wrist) camcorder. [0004] If this camcorder has the function of enlarging the focal length (×2,×4) or removing specific wavelengths and other special photographic effects to the captured image, it will provide great convenience to the user of the camcorder. But, as everyone knows, the method of setting up selection function (additional device) on vi...
