Temperature measuring apparatus for camera

摘要

A temperature measuring apparatus for a camera includes an actuator for performing an operation of the camera. A time measuring unit starts time measurement when the actuator finishes its operation and is set in an inoperative state, and outputs timeover information when a time period required for the temperature of a camera which is increased by the operation of the actuator to return to an initial temperature upon finishing of the operation of the actuator elapses. A storage unit stores the timeover information. A temperature measuring unit is provided in an IC and measures the temperature of the camera. A power switch supplies power from a power source to the camera. A temperature measurement permitting/inhibiting unit permits the temperature measurement of the temperature measuring unit when the timeover information is stored in the storage unit upon an operation of the power switch, and inhibits the temperature measurement of the temperature measuring unit when the timeover information is not stored in the storage unit upon an operation of the power switch. A temperature storage unit stores the temperature measurement result when the temperature measurement permitting/inhibiting unit permits the temperature measurement. A control unit controls the actuator in consideration of the temperature measurement result.
