CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18418346 titled 'CAMERA
The abstract describes a camera with a unique light shield design that extends and contracts in different states to optimize photography conditions.
- The camera includes a lens barrel with a rotary cylinder and a key cylinder that can move forward in the frame.
- A linearly movable cylinder is also present, moving forward relative to the rotary and key cylinders.
- The camera features a light shield with rear and front extendable portions that adjust in the optical axis direction.
- The rear extendable portion contracts in a retracted state and extends in different photographing states.
- The front extendable portion contracts in the retracted state and extends to a length greater than its equilibrium length in the second photographing state.
Potential Applications: - This camera design could be beneficial for photographers looking to optimize light conditions in various shooting scenarios. - It may be useful in professional photography settings where precise control over light exposure is crucial.
Problems Solved: - The camera addresses the challenge of controlling light exposure in different photography conditions. - It provides a solution for photographers seeking versatility in adjusting light conditions.
Benefits: - Enhanced control over light exposure for improved photography results. - Versatile design for adapting to different shooting environments.
Commercial Applications: - This camera technology could be valuable for professional photographers, photography enthusiasts, and potentially in industries where precise light control is essential.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the extendable light shield improve photography outcomes?
The extendable light shield allows photographers to control and optimize light exposure in different shooting conditions, leading to better quality photographs.
2. What sets this camera design apart from traditional models?
This camera design stands out due to its innovative light shield mechanism that adjusts to varying light conditions, providing photographers with more control over their shots.
Original Abstract Submitted
A camera includes a lens barrel including a rotary cylinder and a key cylinder movable forward relative to a barrel portion in a frame from a position radially inside the barrel portion, and a linearly movable cylinder movable forward relative to the rotary cylinder and the key cylinder from a position radially inside the key cylinder. The camera includes a light shield having a rear extendable portion connected to the frame and a front extendable portion connected to the linearly movable cylinder. The rear extendable portion contracts in an optical axis direction in a retracted state and extends in the optical axis direction in a first photographing state and a second photographing state. The front extendable portion contracts in the optical axis direction in the retracted state and extends to have a length greater than or equal to its equilibrium length in the optical axis direction in the second photographing state.
