Photographing apparatus having function of preventing blur of still image
First Claim
1. A photographing apparatus having a function of preventing a blur of a still image, the apparatus comprising:
- a photoelectric transduction unit for photoelectrical-transducing incident light from a lens;
a pulse generation unit for outputting a charge extract pulse for extracting charge accumulated in the photoelectric transduction unit, and an erase pulse for erasing the accumulated charge;
a diaphragm unit for controlling an amount of light incident on the photoelectric transduction unit;
a diaphragm driving unit for controlling an open/close operation of the diaphragm unit; and
a control unit for outputting, to the diaphragm driving unit, a first control signal to supply a driving voltage in a direction of opening the diaphragm unit, for outputting, to the diaphragm unit, a second control signal to supply the driving voltage in a direction of closing the diaphragm unit, and for controlling the operation of the photoelectric transduction unit, the pulse generation unit, and the diaphragm driving unit.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a photographing apparatus having the function of preventing blur of a still image. A diaphragm unit controls the amount of light incident on a photoelectric transduction unit from a lens. A diaphragm driving unit controls an open/close operation of the diaphragm unit. When opening the diaphragm unit, a control unit outputs to the diaphragm driving unit a control signal for supplying a driving voltage in a direction of opening the diaphragm unit. When closing the diaphragm unit, the control unit outputs to the diaphragm driving unit a control signal for supplying the driving voltage in a direction of closing the diaphragm unit. Moreover, power supplied to the diaphragm unit is controlled without requiring a special mechanical shutter, thereby reducing the time from an open state to a close state of a diaphragm. As a result, it is possible to prevent a blur of the image generated due to movement of a subject or shaking of the photographer'"'"'s hands.
