  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a camera according to the first embodiment of the present invention. This camera is a single-lens reflex camera, and includes a lens barrel 10 and a camera body 20.

  A light beam from a subject that has passed through the photographing optical system L provided in the lens barrel 10 enters the camera body 20 and then a finder optical system O (described later) and a focus detection device 22 by a mirror 21 provided in the camera body 20. Led to. Then, an optical image of the subject by the light beam transmitted through the finder optical system O is visually recognized by the user through the eyepiece unit 23 provided in the camera body 20.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mirror 21 can be moved to a position where it is retracted from the light beam that has passed through the photographing optical system L. In this state, the light beam that has passed through the photographing optical system L enters the imaging unit 25 provided in the camera body 20, and forms an optical image of the subject on the imaging surface of the imaging unit 25. Then, the image of the subject imaged by the imaging unit 25 is displayed on the monitor 26 provided on the back surface of the camera body 20.

  First, the configuration of the lens barrel 10 will be described.

  The lens barrel 10 is detachably attached to the body mount 24 of the camera body 20 by the lens mount 11. The lens mount 11 and the body mount 24 are provided with electrical contacts (not shown), and the lens barrel 10 and the camera body 20 can communicate with each other via the electrical contacts.

  The lens barrel 10 is provided with a photographic optical system L having a zoom lens L1 and a focus lens L2, and a diaphragm 12 for adjusting the amount of light beams transmitted through the photographic optical system L. The photographing optical system L is actually composed of a plurality of lenses, but in the present embodiment, only two lenses are schematically shown.

  The zoom lens L1 is movable in the optical axis direction of the photographing optical system L by a user operating a zoom ring (not shown) provided on the outer periphery of the lens barrel 10. Thereby, the focal length of the photographing optical system L is adjusted. Position information in the optical axis direction of the zoom lens L1 is detected by a zoom encoder 13 provided in the lens barrel 10, and a detection result is input to a lens CPU 14 provided in the lens barrel 10.

  The focus lens L2 is movable in the optical axis direction of the photographing optical system L, and is driven by a lens motor 15 provided in the lens barrel 10. Thereby, the focal position of the photographing optical system L is adjusted.

  The aperture 12 forms an opening with a plurality of drivable aperture blades. By driving the diaphragm blades by the diaphragm driving unit 16 provided in the lens barrel 10 and changing the size of the aperture, the amount of light beam transmitted through the photographing optical system L can be adjusted.

  Next, the configuration of the camera body 20 will be described.

  The mirror 21 includes a main mirror 21a and a sub mirror 21b that is pivotally supported by the main mirror 21a. The main mirror 21a is pivotally supported by a mirror box (not shown) provided in the camera body 20, and a position where the main mirror 21a enters a light beam transmitted through the photographing optical system L (see FIG. 1, hereinafter referred to as an observation position); It can be moved to a position retracted from the light beam transmitted through the photographing optical system L (see FIG. 2, hereinafter referred to as a photographing position).

  In a state where the mirror 21 is moved to the observation position shown in FIG. 1 (mirror down), the light beam transmitted through the photographing optical system L is reflected by the main mirror 21a and guided to the finder optical system O, and the main mirror 21a It passes through the half mirror provided in the center. Then, the light beam that has passed through the half mirror is reflected by the sub mirror 21 b and enters the focus detection device 22.

  The finder optical system O has a focusing screen O1 disposed at a position optically equivalent to the imaging surface of the imaging unit 25, a condenser lens O2 that collects a light beam that has passed through the focusing screen O1, and a condenser lens O2. It has a pentaprism O3 that guides the light beam to an eyepiece lens O4 described later, and an eyepiece lens O4 that guides the light beam that has passed through the pentaprism O3 to the eyepiece 23.

This index includes a focus detection area (focus area), an observation state switching display described later, and the like.

  The focus detection device 22 is disposed at a position optically equivalent to the imaging unit 25. Further, the focus detection device 22 has a line sensor (not shown) in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are arranged in a line, thereby receiving a light beam transmitted through the photographing optical system L and detecting a phase difference. Thus, the focus adjustment state of the photographing optical system L is detected.

  The imaging unit 25 includes a light receiving element in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are two-dimensionally arranged to form an imaging surface, and an image generation unit that generates image data based on a signal from the light receiving element.

  When the light beam that has passed through the photographing optical system L enters the imaging unit 25, the optical image of the subject formed on the imaging surface of the light receiving element is photoelectrically converted by the light receiving element to generate an electrical signal. Then, based on this electrical signal, the image generation unit generates image data of the subject.

The sensitivity for switching from the OVF mode to the EVF mode can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the first predetermined value P1. Further, the sensitivity for switching from the EVF mode to the OVF mode can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the second predetermined value P2. Further, by increasing the difference (hysteresis) between the first predetermined value P1 and the second predetermined value P2, it is possible to prevent the observation state from frequently switching due to luminance fluctuations.

  When the observation state is changed from the OVF mode to the EVF mode, the body CPU 29 displays an index indicating that the observation state is changed to the EVF mode within the visual field visually recognized by the user via the eyepiece unit 23. Is displayed.

On the other hand, when the observation state is changed from the OVF mode to the EVF mode, the subject image disappears from the field of view and a downward arrow (hereinafter referred to as an index R1) is displayed as shown in FIG. The index R1 indicates that the image of the subject imaged by the imaging unit 25 is displayed on the monitor 26 provided below the eyepiece unit 23 when the observation state is changed to the EVF mode. With this index R1, the user can visually recognize that the observation state has been switched to the EVF mode, and smoothly shift to the observation of the subject in the EVF mode without being confused by the fact that the field of view of the finder has been blacked out. can do.
