20080198474 | Optical path bending type zoom lens system and image taking apparatus including the same - A zoom lens system comprises, in order from an object side, a positive first lens unit including a reflective optical element, a negative second lens unit, a positive third lens unit and a positive fourth lens unit, or a positive first lens unit, a negative second lens unit, a positive third lens unit, a negative fourth lens unit and a positive fifth lens unit. During zooming from a wide-angle end toward a telephoto end, the first lens unit is fixed, at least the second and third lens units move, and a space between the lens units changes. The second lens unit is positioned closer to an image-surface side in the telephoto end than in the wide-angle end, and the third lens unit is positioned closer to the object side in the telephoto end than in the wide-angle end. An image taking apparatus including the zoom lens system is also disclosed. | 08-21-2008 |
20100128361 | Zoom lens and image pickup apparatus equipped with same - A zoom lens includes, in order from the object side thereof, a first lens unit having a positive refracting power, a second lens unit having a negative refracting power, a third lens unit having a positive refracting power, a fourth lens unit having a positive refracting power, and a fifth lens unit having a negative refracting power. During zooming from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, the first lens unit and the third lens unit are kept stationary with respect to the image plane, and at least the second lens unit and the fourth lens unit move. The first lens unit includes, in order from the object side, a first sub unit having a negative refracting power, a reflecting optical element that bends an optical path by reflection, and a second sub unit having a positive refracting power. The second sub unit includes a cemented lens. | 05-27-2010 |
20100265595 | Two-unit zoom lens system and image pickup apparatus using the same - A two-unit zoom lens system which forms an image on an image pickup surface, includes in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens unit G | 10-21-2010 |
20100295974 | Electronic image pickup apparatus - An electronic image pickup apparatus comprising a zoom lens system and an image pickup device disposed on an image side of the zoom lens system and which converts an image formed by the zoom lens system into an electric signal, the zoom lens system having, in order from an object side, a negative first lens unit, a positive second lens unit, a negative third lens unit, and a positive fourth lens unit, the first lens unit having, in order from the object side, a negative lens and a reflective optical element which reflects an optical path, and during zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, each space between the lens units which are adjacent with each other being changed, the first lens unit being arranged in a fixed position to the image pickup device, and at least the second lens unit and the third lens unit being moved. | 11-25-2010 |
20110157430 | Image pickup apparatus having optical path reflecting zoom lens - An image pickup apparatus includes a zoom lens, and an image pickup element having an image pickup surface which receives optically an image formed by the zoom lens, and which converts the image received to an electric signal. The image pickup apparatus satisfies the following conditional expressions (1), (2), and (3). | 06-30-2011 |
20120008214 | Image pickup apparatus having optical path reflecting zoom lens - An image pickup apparatus includes a zoom lens, and an image pickup element having an image pickup surface which receives an image which has been formed by the zoom lens, and converts to an electric signal. When an object having a uniform brightness is captured, at any state from the wide angle end to the telephoto end, the zoom lens satisfies conditional expression (A). The image pickup apparatus includes a shading correction parameter storage section which stores a shading correction parameter which differs at a front-surface side and a rear-surface side with respect to a center of an image, which is for correcting asymmetric shading at the front-surface side and the rear-surface side of the zoom lens, and
