Befestigungs- und Ausrichtungsmechanismus des Bildsensors in einer Kamera

摘要

An image pickup apparatus which can precisely adjust the inclination of CCD sensor relative to an optical axis in a easy and simple manner is disclosed. A mount adjustment mechanism 200 includes a mount 202 for supporting a CCD sensor 130, a steel ball 218 secured relative to a rearward barrel 206 and threaded adjuster members 220, 222 disposed between the mount 202 and the rearward barrel 206. The steel ball 218 defines a mount reference for positioning the mount 204. By changing the depth to which the threaded adjuster members 220, 222 are threaded, an angular orientation of the mount 202 with respect to the rearward barrel 206 is changed to correct the inclination in the CCD sensor.
