Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3861310
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To drive a lens whenever a command means is depressed, regardless of the presence of a state where the drive of the lens is inhibited by providing the command means for commanding only the operation of preparing for photographing, in accordance with the depression degree of a shutter button, regardless of the states of the shutter button and a selecting means.
SOLUTION: When respective focusing buttons 5 and 11 are depressed regardless of the setting of a selector 7 and a locking switch 10, the distance ring of the lens 2 is driven by a specific amount corresponding to a measured nonfocusing amount, during the depression. When the locking switch 10 is in an inhibitory state, operation by a V-shutter button 9 is not executed, but a focusing operation by the V-focusing button 11 is permitted. When the selector 7 is set in a normal position, the operation of the distance ring is executed by the half-depression of the respective shutter buttons 4 and 9. When the selector 7 is set in an inhibition position, switching to a mode not for operating the distance ring of the lens 2 by the respective shutter buttons 4 and 9 is attained.
