Abstract:
An oral camera, wherein a cylindrical guide part (2) having a tip portion formed of a soft material is fitted to the tip part (1b) of a casing (1), a lens part (3a) having a specific focal length and condensing light from an object to be photographed is installed in the cylinder of the guide part (2), and the tip portion of the guide part (2) is set within the range of a depth of field specific to the lens part (3a). Accordingly, the object to be photographed can be set within the range of the depth of field of the lens part (3a) by merely bringing the tip portion of the guide part (2) into contact with the object to be photographed, and a beautiful image in focus can be easily photographed. Also, even if the tip portion of the guide part (2) is brought into contact with a teeth ridge in an oral cavity, a person to be photographed does not feel pain since the tip portion of the guide part (2) is formed of the soft material.
