Camera with transversely displaceable objective

摘要

A camera housing carries an objective whose optical axis O is tiltable and/or transversely shiftable with respect to a reference line A passing centrally through an exposure window for adjusting the position of an object plane and/or eliminating perspective distortion with shots taken at certain angles. A presettable iris diaphragm and an adjoining shutter in the lens assembly of the objective are tripped, at the instant of exposure, by a deformable linkage in the shape of an articulated or flexible shaft extending generally parallel to the optical axis from the housing to the objective.
