Image pickup apparatus incorporating shake correction
An imaging apparatus of the invention includes an image pickup device for picking up object light; a mirror section for switching an optical path of the object light; a retaining member for retaining at least the mirror section; and a shake detection section for detecting a shake of the image pickup device. The shake detection section is provided in a member separate from but indirectly connected to the retaining member via a predetermined connection section.
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
an image pickup device for picking up object light;
a mirror section for switching an optical path of the object light;
retaining member for retaining at least the mirror section; and
shake detection section for detecting a shake of the image pickup device, wherein the shake detection section is provided in a member separate from but indirectly connected to the retaining member via a predetermined connection section, wherein the shake detection section is provided in the separate member via a predetermined buffer member.
2. An imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer member is composed of a sheet shaped rubber material.
3. An imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image pickup device is provided in the retaining member in the form of a shake correction unit that allows the image pickup device to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and thereby permits the shake correction.
4. An imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connection section is composed of a chassis and a screw for connecting the retaining member with the separate member by screw joining.
5. An imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the separate member is a battery unit fixed to the retaining member with predetermined spacing via a connection section.
6. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
an image pickup device for picking up object light;
a shutter section for adjusting an exposure time for the image pickup device;
a retaining member for retaining at least the shutter section; and
a shake detection section for detecting a shake of the image pickup device, wherein the shake detection section is provided in a member separate from but indirectly connected to the retaining member via a predetermined connection section, wherein the shake detection section is provided in the separate member via a predetermined buffer member.
7. An imaging apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the buffer member is composed of a sheet shaped rubber material.
8. An imaging apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the image pickup device is provided in the retaining member in the form of a shake correction unit that allows the image pickup device to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and thereby permits the shake correction.
9. An imaging apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the connection section is composed of a chassis and a screw for connecting the retaining member with the separate member by screw joining.
10. An imaging apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the separate member is a battery unit fixed to the retaining member with predetermined spacing via a connection section.
11. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
an image pickup device for picking up object light;
an image pickup function section for generating a mechanical vibration depending on the image pickup operation;
an image pickup function section retaining member for retaining at least the image pickup function section;
a shake detection section for detecting a shake of the image pickup device; a shake detection section retaining member for retaining the shake detection section; and
a connection section for connecting the image pickup function section retaining member with the shake detection section retaining member, wherein the shake detection section is provided in the separate member via a predetermined buffer member.
12. An imaging apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the image pickup function section is a mirror section for switching an optical path of the object light.
13. An imaging apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the image pickup function section is a shutter section for adjusting an exposure time for the image pickup device.
14. An imaging apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the buffer member is composed of a sheet shaped rubber material.
15. An imaging apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the image pickup device is provided in the retaining member in the form of a shake correction unit that allows the image pickup device to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and thereby permits the shake correction.
16. An imaging apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the connection section is composed of a chassis and a screw for connecting the retaining member with the separate member by screw joining.
