A translation device includes a first receiver, a second receiver, a first output unit, and a second output unit. The first receiver receives a first voice and converts the first voice into a first voice signal. The second receiver receives a second voice and converts the second voice into a second voice signal. The first output unit outputs a voice corresponding to second translation data generated based on the second voice signal. The second output unit outputs a voice corresponding to first translation data generated based on the first voice signal. The first receiver is disposed near a mouth of a first user. The first output unit is disposed at a position at which the first output unit is in contact with an ear of the first user. The second receiver and the second output unit are disposed on a head of the first user.

Translation device

A translation device includes an input unit, a controller, a notification unit, an output unit, and a memory. The input unit inputs an utterance of a speaker to generate utterance data. The controller determines accuracy of a translation result when translated utterance data from the utterance data is obtained. The notification unit notifies the speaker of the determination result of the controller. The output unit outputs a translated utterance according to the translated utterance data. The memory stores dictionary data associating utterance data with translated utterance data. The controller performs translation based on the dictionary data. When the controller determines that the accuracy of the translation result is lower than a predetermined value, the controller controls the output unit not to output the translated utterance, and controls the notification unit to issue a notification regarding the determination result.

An imaging device comprises an imaging optical system with a plurality of lenses, a focusing manipulation component, an imaging state switching manipulation component, and first, second, third, and fourth restrictors. The focusing manipulation component can be turned to change the focal position formed by the imaging optical system. The imaging state switching manipulation component can be turned to move lenses and switch between the first imaging state and the second imaging state. When the imaging state switching manipulation component is turned, the range over which the focusing manipulation component can be turned is switched from a first range that is restricted by first and second restrictors, to a second range that is restricted by third and fourth restrictors and that is at least partly shifted from the first range.

Lens barrel

Embodiments of a lens barrel may comprise an imaging optical system with a plurality of lenses, a cylindrical focusing manipulation component, a stationary frame, and a restrictor. The focusing manipulation component changes the focal position of the imaging optical system by turning operation around the optical axis of the imaging optical system and to set the distance up to a second imaging region that is at least partially different from a first imaging region, and to move at least some of the lenses of the imaging optical system to switch between first and second imaging states. The restrictor restricts the rotatable range of the focusing manipulation component. When the focusing manipulation component is turned, its rotatable range is switched from a first rotatable range to a second rotatable range.

The camera body includes an imaging element, a hot shoe, an internal light source, and a camera controller. The camera controller is configured to calculate an evaluation value on the basis of the image data produced by the imaging element, and perform video autofocusing on the basis of the evaluation value. When the camera controller decides that the auxiliary light is needed, and that the flash device mounted to the hot shoe has an external auxiliary light source arranged to emit near infrared light, the internal light source emits light during the video autofocusing.

A lens barrel includes a fourth lens, a prism, and a sixth lens. The fourth lens receives a light flux incident along a first optical axis. The prism includes a reflecting surface reflecting the light flux passing through the fourth lens to a direction along a second optical axis intersecting with the first optical axis. The sixth lens receives the light flux reflected by the prism. A second group frame includes an opening portion, a prism retaining frame that is arranged in a more inner position than the opening portion and in which the prism is contained, and a plurality of adhesive pockets arranged on an area around the prism retaining frame and being open to the side of the opening portion. Adhesive agent is filled in the adhesive pockets.
