<p>PURPOSE:To automatically follow up an object in panning and tilting directions or to automatically follow up the object by detecting camera shake. CONSTITUTION:This automatic object follow-up device 1 is applied to a video camera, etc. In the case of automatically following up the object H in the panning and tilting directions or in the case of automatically following up the object H by detecting the camera shake, a lens barrel 3 holding a lens group 2 is integrally combined with an imaging device 4 forming an object image through the lens group 2 so as to constitute a lens barrel assembling body 5, and the tilt angle of the reflection surface 8a of a mirror 8 provided to be tilted forward from the lens group 2 is varied, so that the direction of the object image is changed to the lens group 2 side through the reflection surface 8a, and the lens barrel assembling body 5 is turned or rotated centering around the optical axis K of the lens barrel 3 integrally with the mirror 8.</p> |
