  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18192038 Titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF COOLING IMAGE SENSOR'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image capturing device that has a built-in image stabilization feature. It is designed to effectively cool the image sensor without increasing the size of the device. The device includes an image sensor board where the image sensor is mounted, an image stabilization mechanism that moves the image sensor board to stabilize the captured images, a first duct that can be moved and has an air flow passage, a second duct that is fixed and connected to the first duct, and a cooling fan that causes outside air to flow through both ducts. The image sensor board is held on the first duct.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image capturing apparatus equipped with a function of performing image stabilization by moving an image capturing section (image sensor) and capable of effectively cooling the image sensor without increasing the size of the apparatus. The apparatus includes an image sensor board on which the image sensor is mounted, an image stabilization mechanism for performing image stabilization by moving the image sensor board, a first duct having an air flow passage and movable, a second duct having an air flow passage and fixedly disposed and connected to the first duct, and a cooling fan for causing outside air to flow through the first duct and the second duct. The image sensor board is held on the first duct.
