本発明は、撮像装置、特に被写体の明るさの変化に追従
して絞り等の露出部材をサーボ制御する撮像装置に関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to an imaging device, and particularly to an imaging device that servo-controls an exposure member such as an aperture in accordance with changes in the brightness of a subject.
(従来技術)
従来、ビデオカメラ等の撮像装置において絞り径を被写
体の明るさ変化に追従して変化させ、常に最適なレベル
の光量が撮像素子に入射するようサーボ制御するものが
知られている。(Prior art) Conventionally, it is known that in imaging devices such as video cameras, the diameter of the aperture is changed in accordance with changes in the brightness of the subject, and servo control is performed so that the optimal level of light is always incident on the imaging device. .
ところで、このようなビデオカメラにおいて、電子ビュ

明撮影直後に電子ビューファインダーで被写体を観察し
ようとすると、絞りは照明撮影用の固定値となっており
、その値は必ずしも電子ビューファインダーで見る明る
さとして適正ではない。By the way, in such a video camera, when photographing using illumination while observing a subject with an electronic viewfinder, it is conceivable to set the aperture to a fixed aperture value for illumination photography during illumination photography. For this reason, if you try to observe a subject with an electronic viewfinder immediately after photographing with illumination, the aperture is a fixed value for photographing with illumination, and that value is not necessarily appropriate for the brightness seen with the electronic viewfinder.
そのため絞りサーボを働かせてから絞りが適正となるま
で、電子ビューファインダー内の画像の明るさは不安定
となり、その後の撮影のタイミングを逸する可能性が非
常に高い。Therefore, the brightness of the image in the electronic viewfinder will be unstable from the time the aperture servo is activated until the aperture is adjusted to the appropriate value, and there is a high possibility that the timing for subsequent shooting will be missed.
(目 的)

Another object of the present invention is to provide an imaging device that eliminates instability and discomfort in the brightness of a viewfinder and monitor immediately after shooting with a fixed exposure value.

の間、被写体の明るさに追従してサーボ制御される。Further, 25 is an electronic viewfinder, and LE is a lighting device, which starts supplying power when a high level is input to the B terminal, and starts emitting light when a high level is input to the A terminal. Further, CTL is a control block serving as exposure control means. - Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 1 and 2. First, in the illumination mode (ie, switch 18: 0FF), switch 17: OFF, and when switch 16 is turned on, the power of the main body is turned on, and the image received by the imaging device 3 is converted into an electrical signal. Imaging device 3 in the signal processing circuit
A signal 19 corresponding to the brightness of the subject based on the signal from
Output. The arithmetic circuit 7 calculates an appropriate aperture value from the signal 19 and outputs a target aperture value signal 20. At this time, since the CL large input is at H level and the EN input is at H level, the latch circuit 8 directly outputs the target aperture value 2o as a signal 21, and the aperture drive circuit 6 drives the aperture 2. In this way, the aperture 2 has switch 16 ON and switch 17 OFF.
During this period, servo control is performed to follow the brightness of the subject.

と、ラッチ8のCL入力22がHレベルとなりサーボ絞
り制御が再び開始される。When taking a picture without using a lighting device in this state, the recording operation is performed in conjunction with the release switch air, but the aperture at this time is first set at the H level by the one-shot circuit 11 for a time T1 sufficient for recording. As a result, the level of the clock input CL of the latch 8 becomes L level. At this time, since the EN input 23 remains at the H level, data immediately before the CL input 22 of the latch 8 becomes L, that is, immediately before the release switch is turned on, is output for a time T. Therefore, the value of the aperture immediately before turning on the release switch is held during recording, and when time T has elapsed after recording, the CL input 22 of the latch 8 goes to the H level and servo aperture control is started again.
また、照明撮影時は、まずモード切換スイッチ18をO

Set it to N. Then, power supply to the lighting device LE is started.

データ24が出力され、絞りが制御される。Also, when the switch 16 is ON and the switch 17 is OFF, servo aperture control is performed in the same way as in the previous state, but when the release switch 17 is turned ON, the one-shot circuit 13 holds the H for 12 hours sufficient for recording and shorter than the time T1. The level is output, the lighting device emits light, and the EN input 23 of the latch circuit 8 becomes L level, prohibiting data output from the latch 8. At the same time, the illumination mode aperture control circuit 14 is turned on, constant illumination aperture control data 24 is output, and the aperture is controlled.

明はそのようなものも含む。Here, in this embodiment, the exposure member (for example, the aperture) is controlled to a fixed value when shooting with lighting, but this means that when the exposure member is servo-controlled, if the illumination is performed for a short period of time, the servo will be This is to solve the drawback of not being able to follow the conditions, and this allows you to obtain a proper exposure even when shooting with lighting.The fixed exposure value when shooting with lighting is a value determined according to the distance to the subject. However, the present invention also includes such a method.

後再び絞りサーボ制御が行われる。Then, after 12 hours have elapsed after recording with lighting has finished, the output of the one-shot circuit 13 becomes L level, the illumination mode aperture control circuit is turned off, and the EN input 23 of the latch circuit 8 becomes H level, and the release switch air The data latched just before turning on is output, and the aperture is changed from the aperture value at the time of lighting photography to the release switch when the air is turned on.
It is driven to the aperture value immediately before Nf. After time T1 has elapsed, the aperture servo control is performed again.

ている。被写体の明るさは撮影の直前と直後でほとんど
差が生じない。As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when performing servo control of the aperture in accordance with changes in the brightness of the subject, the initial value of the aperture immediately after photographing is set to the aperture immediately before photographing. There is almost no difference in the brightness of the subject immediately before and after shooting.
従って撮影時ビューファインダー等で被写体を観察して
いても、撮影直後のファインダーに映る被写体像の明る
さの変化の不自然さを減少させることができる。Therefore, even if the subject is observed through a viewfinder or the like during photography, unnatural changes in the brightness of the subject image reflected in the finder immediately after photography can be reduced.
又、絞りの安定比に要する時間が短くなるので、次の撮
影を速やかに行うことができる。特に、照明撮影のよう
に、撮影時に絞り値がそれまでと大幅に変化する事の多
い場合等に極めて有効である。Furthermore, since the time required for the aperture to stabilize is shortened, the next photograph can be taken quickly. This is particularly effective in cases where the aperture value often changes significantly during photography, such as when photographing with illumination.

することも勿論可能である。In the configuration of the above embodiment, the aperture value is calculated based on the signal from the imaging device, but it is also possible to separately provide a photometry means using, for example, SPC, and calculate the aperture value based on the photometry result. Of course, it is also possible to realize similar functions by software using a microcomputer as a control block.
