Remote shooting system and camera system
A remote shooting system includes an imaging unit, a main unit, and an imaging driving section. The main unit includes a position sensor that detects a vertical or horizontal position of the main unit. Based on an instruction signal transmitted from the main unit to the imaging driving section according to the position detected by the position sensor, the imaging driving section drives the imaging unit being attached to the imaging driving section about a rotation axis parallel with an optical axis of a shooting lens provided in the imaging unit.
1. A camera system comprising:
a camera head which includes a shooting lens and an imaging device;
a camera main unit to which the camera head is detachably attachable and which receives and processes image signals transmitted from the camera head; and
a head adaptor which includes a panhead section to which the camera head being detached from the camera main unit is detachably attachable instead of being attached to the camera main unit, and a head receiving section that receives an operation signal from the camera main unit,
wherein the camera main unit includes:
a position detection section that detects a position of the camera main unit; and
a main-unit transmission section that transmits an operation signal according to the position detected by the position detection section to the head adaptor,
wherein the head adaptor flirt her includes a panhead control section that controls a position of the camera head being attached to the panhead section by driving the panhead section based on the operation signal received by the head receiving section,
wherein the camera main unit further includes a selector switch that switches a way of changing the position of the camera head being attached to the panhead section, between a mode for changing the position of the camera head according to operation through an operation member provided in the camera main unit and a mode for changing the position of the camera head according to the position of the camera main unit,
wherein the main-unit transmission section transmits switching information related to a status of the selector switch in addition to the operation signal to the head adaptor, and
wherein the panhead control section drives the panhead section based on the operation signal as well as the switching information.
2. The camera system according to claim 1 , wherein the position detection section includes a three-axis acceleration sensor.
3. The camera system according to claim 2 , wherein the position detection section further includes, in addition to the three-axis acceleration sensor, either one of a magnetic direction sensor and an angular-velocity sensor.
4. A camera system comprising:
a camera head which includes a shooting lens and an imaging device;
a camera main unit to which the camera head is detachably attachable and which receives and processes image signals transmitted from the camera head;
a head adaptor which includes a panhead section to which the camera head being detached from the camera main unit is detachably attachable instead of being attached to the camera main unit, and a head receiving section that receives an operation signal from the camera main unit; and
a main-unit adaptor which is detachably attachable to the camera main unit being detached from the camera head instead of being attached to the camera head,
wherein the main-unit adaptor includes:
a position detection section that detects a position of the main-unit adaptor; and
a main-unit transmission section that transmits an operation signal according to the position detected by the position detection section to the head adaptor,
wherein the head adaptor further includes a panhead control section that controls a position of the camera head being attached to the panhead section by driving the panhead section based on the operation signal received by the head receiving section,
wherein the main-unit adaptor further includes a selector switch that switches a way of changing the position of the camera head being attached to the panhead section, between a mode for changing the position of the camera head according to operation through an operation member provided in the camera man unit and a mode for changing the position of the camera head according to the position of the camera main unit,
wherein the main-unit transmission section transmits switching information related to a status of the selector switch in addition to the operation signal to the head adaptor, and
wherein the panhead control section drives the panhead section based on t e operation signal as well as the switching information.
5. The camera system according to claim 4 , wherein the position detection section includes a three-axis acceleration sensor.
6. The camera system according to claim 5 , wherein the position detection section further includes, in addition to the three-axis acceleration sensor, either one of a magnetic direction sensor and an angular-velocity sensor.
