Opto-electronic view finder for video camera-recorder - has optical view finder with ocular and objective lenses in housing, and electronic view finder with reflex minor

摘要

The view finder has an optical view finding system with an eye lens (27) and an objective lens (28) in a housing (22), permitting through view. It has also an electronic view finding system with a reflex mirror (4) between the eye and objective lenses on a swivellable mounting. A camera tube (23) is mounted orthogonally to the housing such that an image, radiated through an aperture (22a) in the housing wall (214), is reflected by the mirror and can be observed by the eye lens. The selection of one of the two systems is carried out by the swivel of the mirror in the housing, which is thus either parallel to the bottom, or at an angle to it. ADVANTAGE - Improved image survey and reduced eye strain.
