JPH07264447A - Monitor incorporated with finder - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain easy to see screen, to attain image pickup through viewing a finder under direct sun beam to allow the monitor to pick up an image of a photographer himself by providing the finder to a rear side of the monitor and connecting the monitor and the finder to a finder side rotary shaft and a monitor side rotary shaft. CONSTITUTION:A finder 4 is provided to a rear side of the monitor 1 and a finder side rotary shaft 5 and a monitor side rotary shaft 6 are provided on an upper corner of a VTR 3. Then the monitor 1 and the finder 4 are connected to the finder side rotary shaft 5 and the monitor side rotary shaft 6. In this case, an electronic view finder or a liquid crystal view finder or the like is adopted for the finder 4. Moreover, either of the finder side rotary shaft 5 and the monitor side rotary shaft 6 is formed to be a hollow shaft, in which wiring is installed. Furthermore, when an image of a photographer himself is picked up and the monitor 1 is set to a monitor (with finder) moving position 11, since the vertical position of the monitor 1 is inverted, the inverted position may be restored electrically.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A camera-incorporated VTR incorporating the present invention is capable of taking pictures by properly using a monitor and a finder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a monitor-rotating camera-integrated VTR that looks at a monitor and shoots, it is difficult to see the monitor in direct sunlight, and it is difficult to shoot with one hand.

[0003]

This has the following drawbacks. It is a horizontal type in which a monitor is held with both hands and it is not possible to hold a VTR with a monitor vertically. The monitor is difficult to see in direct sunlight, and only the monitor has no electronic viewfinder or liquid crystal viewfinder.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problem] A finder (4) is provided on the back surface of the monitor (1). A finder side rotating shaft (5) and a monitor side rotating shaft (6) are provided at the upper corner of the VTR (3). The monitor (1) and the viewfinder (4) are connected to the viewfinder side rotation shaft (5) and the monitor side rotation shaft (6).

When the finder (4) is used for shooting, the viewfinder side rotation axis (5) and the monitor side rotation axis (6)
Take a picture with the viewfinder (4) at a comfortable viewing angle. When the photographer himself / herself is photographed, the lens is directed toward the photographer, the monitor (1) is rotated to the monitor moving position (11) with the finder, and the photograph is taken while looking at the monitor (1).

[0006]

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below. (A) A viewfinder (4) is provided on the back surface of the monitor (1). (B) A finder side rotating shaft (5) and a monitor side rotating shaft (6) are provided at the upper corner of the VTR (3). (C) Connect the monitor (1) and the finder (4) to the finder side rotating shaft (5) and the monitor side rotating shaft (6). (D) The viewfinder (4) is an electronic viewfinder, a liquid crystal viewfinder, or the like. (E) Either the finder side rotating shaft (5) or the monitor side rotating shaft (6) is made hollow, and the inside thereof is wired. (F) When taking a picture of the photographer himself, if the monitor (1) is set to the monitor moving position (11) with the finder, the top and bottom of the monitor (1) are inverted, so even if the top and bottom are electrically restored to normal. good.

The present invention has the above-described structure, and the camera-integrated VTR using the same can be photographed while holding it with one hand while looking at the monitor, and can be photographed while looking at the viewfinder under direct sunlight.

[0008]

[Effect of the Invention] The screen is easy to see because both eyes monitor and shoot. In direct sunlight, shoot through the viewfinder. The photographer himself can also shoot.
