A lens barrel is removeably attachable to an image pickup unit, wherein a large amount of shake can be corrected. This lens barrel includes a mounting part that is removeably attachable to an image pickup unit, including: an image forming optical system that forms a subject image for the image pickup unit; a support unit that supports at least a portion of the image forming optical system; and a fixed unit that is disposed outside of the support unit and that is fixed to the mounting unit. The support part is relatively rotatable and moveable with respect to the fixed unit, about at least two axes which are substantially orthogonal to the light axis of the image forming optical system.

Lens barrel and camera body

An electronic apparatus includes a processing unit that processes an image capture signal captured by an image capturing unit, a communication unit that is capable of transmitting the image capture signal captured by the image capturing unit to an external apparatus, and a determination unit that determines whether or not to transmit the image capture signal to the external apparatus, according to a capture setting for the image capturing unit.

Electronic apparatus and method for conditionally providing image processing by an external apparatus

A lens barrel attached to an imaging device, including a focus lens unit that is movable in an optical axis direction; an actuator that moves the focus lens unit along the optical axis direction; a drive control section that controls drive of the actuator; and a setting section that is capable of setting a movement range of the focus lens unit to be one of a first range and a second range that differ from each other with respect to at least one of one end and another end, each range defining the range in which the focus lens unit is allowed to move. Even when the movement range of the focus lens unit is set by the setting section to be one of the first range and the second range, the drive control section removes the setting of the movement range when instructions are received from the imaging device.

Lens barrel, replacement lens, imaging device, and control program

An electronic apparatus includes: a processing unit that processes an image capture signal captured by an image capturing unit; a communication unit that is capable of transmitting the image capture signal captured by the image capturing unit to an external apparatus; and a determination unit that determines whether or not to transmit the image capture signal to the external apparatus, according to a capture setting for the image capturing unit.

At the inside wall face of the first tube portionof the lens barrel, the shielding grooveshaving a saw blade shape are formed along the optical axis O, and each shielding grooveat least comprises the first inclined facefacing the image side, and the second inclined facefacing the object side, further the groove widths of the shielding grooveis constituted so that they changes in steps or continuously as getting closer to the second lens groupfrom the object side.

Lens barrel, camera device and lens hood

To provide a lens barrel having an improved assembly accuracy. The lens barrel is provided with: a stationary part; a movable part provided movably relative to the stationary part, its movement moving a lens relative to the stationary part; a rotary member to transfer to the movable part a driving force for moving the movable part relative to the stationary part; and a supporting part provided integrally with the stationary part to support a rotary axis of the rotary member.
