Image recording apparatus with movement detector and laser emitter

摘要

An image recording apparatus (e.g. camera) includes a laser emitter which emits a beam of laser radiation towards a scene to be recorded. A movement detector detects when the image recording apparatus is being moved at or above a predetermined magnitude such that blurred images may be recorded. A controller controls an output level of laser radiation from the laser emitter. The controller enables the laser emitter to emit laser radiation when the movement detector detects movement of the image recording apparatus at or above the predetermined magnitude and disables the laser emitter from emitting laser radiation when the movement detector detects movement of the image recording apparatus below the predetermined magnitude.
