Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an image pickup apparatus and method of controlling the same. This innovative apparatus is capable of generating both motion pictures and still pictures. In the still imaging mode, the amount of exposure is increased compared to the motion picture imaging mode, ideally set to twice as large. The apparatus features a mechanism where electric charges are swept out from a CCD by an exposure control, which occurs simultaneously with the closing of a diaphragm to adjust the exposure amount. In cases where there is an error in the diaphragm's closing operation, the exposure amount is set to a predetermined design value. The system also corrects the gain for the video signal based on the difference between the design value and the actual measured exposure. Additionally, in the motion picture mode, the diaphragm and electronic shutter speed are adjusted to prevent flicker under fluorescent lighting, with the adjusted speed being capable of reaching 1/100 sec.
