OPTICAL SYSTEM AND APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18299615 titled 'OPTICAL SYSTEM AND APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an optical system designed for capturing tilted images.

  • The system consists of four lens units arranged in a specific order.
  • The first and third lens units can move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis for tilt image-capturing.
  • The object-side lens unit and the second lens unit do not move in this direction.
  • The first lens unit has a positive refractive power, while the third lens unit has a negative refractive power.
  • This configuration allows for capturing tilted images without moving the entire system.


Original Abstract Submitted

An optical system configured to perform tilt image-capturing includes an object-side lens unit, a first lens unit having a positive refractive power, a second lens unit having a positive refractive power, and a third lens unit having a negative refractive power which are arranged in order from an object side. The first lens unit and the third lens unit move in a direction including a component of a direction perpendicular to an optical axis for tilt image-capturing. The object-side lens unit and the second lens unit do not move in a direction including a component of a direction perpendicular to the optical axis for tilt image-capturing.
