Digital camera with adjustable sensor

摘要

The present invention relates to digital cameras and in particular to positioning of image sensors in digital cameras. By providing a digital camera comprising a lens system, at least one image sensor which is attached to a sensor disc and an axle to which the sensor disc is attached and wherein the axle is configured to allow manipulation thereof for adjusting the tilt of the at least one image sensor, a simple solution is provided, enabling adjustment of the image sensor position in the digital camera.

主权项

1. A digital camera, comprising:
a lens system having an optical axis; and a sensor disc having a surface that faces toward the lens system; at least one image sensor attached to the surface of the sensor disc in an optical path of the lens system; an axle attached to the sensor disc and extending from the sensor disc; an adjustment carrier including a portion to which the axle connects so that the axle is suspended by the adjustment carrier, the axle being pivotal around a pivot point to vary an angular displacement between a longitudinal axis of the axle and the optical axis; and a plurality of actuators, each actuator including
a fixed portion connected directly or indirectly to a housing of the digital camera anda free end that is movable relative to the fixed portion and engages the adjustment carrier to move the adjustment carrier, thereby manipulating the axle to tilt the sensor disc such that a normal direction of the image sensor positioned in the optical path of the lens system is angularly adjustable in relation to the optical axis of the lens system.
