DIGITAL CAMERA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3918187
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital camera which has a lens part having a photographing lens and an object lens of an optical finder which pops up from the camera body smoothly by the minimum number of coil springs while maintaining a parallel state.
SOLUTION: The lens part 20, which has the photographing lens 22 and the object lens 24 of the optical finder, is popped up from the camera body by three coil springs 81, 82 and 83. As the photographing lens 22 is round, the coil spring 83 with a large diameter is placed so as to encircle around an optical path from the lens 22 to an image sensor. On the other hand, as the object lens 24 and an eyepiece 26 are rectangular, the coil springs 82 and 83 are placed on the corners of the object lens 24 in the opposite of the lens 22. These three coil springs 81, 82 and 83 balance the added force against the lens part 20.
