DIGITAL CAMERA ADAPTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A photographic camera includes a hand-grippable housing having a disposed electronic images sensor and a display for displaying a digital image of a target of interest captured by the electronic image sensor. An adaptor assembly is either detachably or integrally connected to the camera housing and includes at least one secondary battery for powering the camera in addition to primary batteries initially contained within the camera. The adaptor assembly can also include a light source whose output is disposed substantially coaxial to the imaging axis of the camera to provide a continuous source of illumination for a predetermined interval. Preferably, the adaptor assembly further includes or is a separate data communications module for facilitating data transfer between the memory of the camera and other remote instruments.
