Image pickup apparatus

摘要

An image pickup apparatus comprising: a lens apparatus having: an image pickup optical system including a focus lens unit and a zoom lens unit; a zoom state detector; and a controller; a camera apparatus having: a light receiving unit; and an image display unit; an AF frame operation unit; and a distance measuring unit installed with a parallax with respect to an optical axis of the image pickup optical system, in which the controller is configured to: select, from among measured distances obtained by the distance measuring unit, a measured distance obtained in an angle of field of the AF frame, based on a position of the zoom lens unit detected by the zoom state detector and a position of the AF frame set in the display; and perform the focusing by driving the focus lens unit based on the selected measured distance.

1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
a lens apparatus comprising:
an image pickup optical system comprising a focus lens unit and a zoom lens unit;a zoom state detector for detecting a position of the zoom lens unit; anda controller for controlling driving of the image pickup optical system; a camera apparatus comprising:
a light receiving unit for receiving a beam from the image pickup optical system; andan image display unit for displaying image information obtained by the light receiving unit;an AF frame operation unit for setting, as an AF frame, a range for performing focusing in a display of the image display unit;a distance measuring unit installed with a parallax with respect to an optical axis of the image pickup optical system, for measuring a distance to an object; anda distance measuring optical axis changing unit for changing an optical axis direction of the distance measuring unit in an optical axis plane including the optical axis of the image pickup optical system and an optical axis of the distance measuring unit, wherein the controller is configured to:
set an angle of the optical axis of the distance measuring unit with respect to the optical axis of the image pickup optical system based on the position of the zoom lens unit detected by the zoom state detector and a position of the AF frame set in the display; andcontrol the distance measuring optical axis changing unit to change the optical axis direction of the distance measuring unit, and wherein an angle θ formed between the optical axis of the image pickup optical system and the optical axis of the distance measuring unit satisfies the following expression:
tan(θ+β)=−s×tan α,where α represents a half angle of field of the image pickup optical system, β represents a half angle of field of the distance measuring unit, and s represents, in the optical axis plane, a ratio representing boundary position of the AF frame with respect to a position in the display corresponding to a maximum image height.
