FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a usage pattern when the strobe device 10 is attached to the camera body 14 of the interchangeable lens camera to which the small-sized lens device 12 is attached. FIG. FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a usage pattern when the strobe device 10 is attached to the camera body 14 to which a large lens device is attached. FIG. 3 is a rear view of the strobe device 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the strobe device 10 includes a box-shaped base 20 that is attached to a hot shoe (strobe mounting portion) 18 formed on the upper surface of the camera body 14, and a first side on the side of the base 20. A box-shaped first strobe main body 22 connected to be freely tiltable (adjustable in angle) via a hinge 21, and a box-type first strobe main body 22 connected to the top of the strobe main body 22 via a second hinge 23. The second strobe body 24 is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the base 20 has a screw rod 26 extending downward at a lower portion thereof. The screw rod 26 has a plate 28 fitted to the hot shoe 18 and a hot shoe 18 between the plate 28. A nut 30 that holds the pinched pressure is provided. The strobe device 10 is fixed to the camera body 14 by fitting the plate 28 to the hot shoe 18 and holding the hot shoe 18 with a nut 30, and a contact piece (not shown) provided on the hot shoe 18. ) And the synchro contact 32 (see FIG. 4) provided on the base 20 side. As a result, the synchronization contact 32 is turned on in conjunction with the opening operation of the shutter of the camera body 14, and the light emission parts of the flash body parts 22 and 24 emit light.

  The strobe body 22 is tiltable in the direction of the subject by a hinge 21 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and a desired inclination is obtained by a rotational resistance generated between the hinge 21 and the strobe body 22. Is held at an angle. In addition, a click mechanism may be provided in the hinge 21, and the strobe body 22 may be held at a desired inclination angle by the click mechanism.

  A discharge tube 34 as a first light emitting unit is disposed in the strobe main body 22. As shown in FIG. 2, the discharge tube 34 is disposed at a side surface facing the subject in a posture in which the strobe main body 22 is erected in the vertical direction with respect to the base 20. In addition, a reflector 36 is disposed behind the discharge tube 34 and a Fresnel lens 38 is disposed in front thereof.

  On the other hand, a pair of support pieces 22A and 22A are formed to project from the upper portion of the strobe main body 22, and a strobe main body 24 is attached to a hinge 23 spanning the support pieces 22A and 22A so as to be tiltable. The hinge 23 is disposed in parallel with the hinge 21 in the horizontal direction, so that the strobe body 24 can be tilted in the direction of the subject by the hinge 23. Further, the strobe main body 24 is held at a desired inclination angle by a rotational resistance generated between the hinge 23 and the strobe main body 24. Note that a click mechanism may be provided in the hinge 23, and the strobe main body 24 may be held at a desired inclination angle by the click mechanism.

  In the strobe main body 24, a discharge tube 40 as a second light emitting unit is arranged. As shown in FIG. 1, the discharge tube 40 is positioned at a position facing the subject in a posture in which the strobe main body 24 is horizontally inclined with respect to the strobe main body 22. A reflector 42 is disposed behind the discharge tube 40 and a Fresnel lens 44 is disposed in front of the discharge tube 40.

  The base 20 is loaded with a rechargeable battery or battery 46 (see FIG. 4) that supplies power to the discharge tubes 34 and 40. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a power switch 48, a light emission selection switch (selection means) 50, a bounce changeover switch (switching means) 52, and a neon lamp 54 are arranged at predetermined positions on the rear surface of the base portion 20, respectively.

  According to the strobe circuit diagram shown in FIG. 4, when the power switch 48 is turned on, the main capacitor 58 starts to be charged from the battery 46 via the resistor 56, and when charged to a specified voltage, the resistor 59 passes through the resistor 59. The neon lamp 54 is lit. At this time, the trigger capacitor (not shown) of the first trigger circuit 60 and the trigger capacitor (not shown) of the second trigger circuit 62 are also charged with electric charges according to their capacities.

  When the shutter of the camera body 14 is released in this charged state, the sync contact 32 is closed. At this time, when the discharge tube 34 is selected by the light emission selection switch 50, the trigger control unit 64 uses the charge charged in the trigger capacitor of the first trigger circuit 60 as the trigger coil ( And a high voltage is generated on the secondary side of the trigger coil. This high voltage is applied to the trigger electrode provided on the tube wall of the discharge tube 34. As a result, the xenon gas in the discharge tube 34 is excited and the resistance in the discharge tube 34 decreases, so that it is stored in the main capacitor 58. Discharge due to the generated charge is started in the discharge tube 34. Thereby, the discharge tube 34 emits light. If the discharge tube 40 is selected by the light emission selection switch 50 when the sync contact 32 is closed, the trigger control unit 64 controls the second trigger circuit 62 so that the discharge tube 40 emits light.

  On the other hand, when the bounce changeover switch 52 is switched to the bounce shooting side, the trigger control unit 64 prioritizes the bounce shooting by the bounce changeover switch 52 over the selection by the light emission selection switch 50 and executes the bounce shooting. That is, the trigger control unit 64 controls the first trigger circuit 60 or both trigger circuits 60 and 62 so that the discharge tube 34 or both discharge tubes 34 and 40 emit light.

At this time, the bounce switch 52 is previously switched to the OFF (normal shooting) side. Then, after the neon lamp 54 is turned on, the shutter of the camera body 14 is released. Thereby, only the discharge tube 40 emits light, and the strobe light from the discharge tube 40 is irradiated to the subject without vignetting the lens device 12.

  When the large lens device 16 is mounted on the camera body 14 as shown in FIG. 2 and the strobe light vignetts on the lens device 16 in the discharge tube 40 in the lying position in FIG. The unit 22 is erected as shown in FIG. 2 so that the discharge tube 34 is directed toward the subject and the strobe light from the discharge tube 34 is prevented from vignetting the lens device 16. Next, the power switch 48 is turned ON and the light emission selection switch 50 is set to No. 1 (discharge tube 34) side. At this time, the bounce switch 52 is previously switched to the OFF side (normal photographing side). Then, after the neon lamp 54 is turned on, the shutter of the camera body 14 is released.

Thereafter, the discharge tube 40 emits light when the shutter is released, and the subject is irradiated with the strobe light reflected by the ceiling, and is photographed. Note that the discharge tube 34 may emit light at the same time during bounce shooting.

  As described above, according to the strobe device 10 of the embodiment, since the two discharge tubes 34 and 40 are provided, the discharge tube 34 and 40 have a position in which the strobe light is not vignetted in the lens devices 12 and 16. By emitting light 34 and 40, it is possible to cope with one strobe device 10 regardless of the size of the lens devices 12 and 16.

  Further, since the strobe body 22 is tiltably provided on the base 20 and the strobe body 24 is tiltably provided on the strobe body 22, the strobe light of the discharge tubes 34 and 40 is placed at a position where the strobe light is not vignetted.

The tilt member 104A is tiltably connected to the base 102 via a pin 103 disposed in parallel with the photographing optical axis 71 of the digital camera 70. Thereby, the tilting member 104 is tilted in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis 71, and the tilted posture is maintained at a predetermined tilt angle by the frictional resistance generated between the pin 103 and the tilting member 104A.

  The hinge 105 is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the photographing optical axis 71, and thereby the strobe body unit 108 is tilted in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis 71. Further, the strobe body 108 is held in a tilted posture at a predetermined tilt angle by the frictional resistance generated between the hinge 105 and the strobe body 108. The discharge tube 106 of the strobe main body 108 is disposed on the side of the strobe main body 108 facing the subject. A reflector 114 is disposed behind the discharge tube 106 and a Fresnel lens 116 is disposed in front of the reflector 114.

  On the other hand, the hinge 109 is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the hinge 105 and in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis 71, whereby the strobe main body 112 is tilted in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis 71. . The strobe body 112 is held at a predetermined inclination angle by a frictional resistance generated between the hinge 109 and the strobe body 112. A reflector 118 is provided behind the discharge tube 110 of the strobe main body 112 and a Fresnel lens 120 is arranged in front of the reflector 118. Note that a power switch, a light emission selection switch, a bounce changeover switch, and a neon lamp are also arranged at predetermined positions on the back surface of the base portion 102 as in the base portion 20 of the strobe device 10 shown in FIG.

  Next, the operation of the strobe device 100 configured as described above will be described.

  First, when the size of the lens barrel 74 of the digital camera 70 is small as shown in FIG. 6, the tilting member 104 is tilted laterally with respect to the base 102 as shown in FIG. 6, and the discharge tube 106 of the strobe main body 108. The discharge tube 110 of the strobe body 112 is directed toward the subject. Next, the power switch of the strobe device 100 is turned ON, and the light emission selection switch is set to No. Set to 1.2 (discharge tube 106, 110) side. At this time, the bounce switch is switched to the OFF (normal shooting) side in advance. When the neon lamp is lit, the shutter 88 of the digital camera 70 is half-pressed to focus automatically, and then the shutter 88 is fully pressed to release the shutter. As a result, the discharge tubes 106 and 110 emit light simultaneously, and the strobe light from the discharge tubes 106 and 110 is irradiated onto the subject without vignetting the lens barrel 74.

  When performing bounce shooting with this strobe posture, the bounce switch is switched to the ON (bounce shooting) side. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the strobe main body 108 is inclined obliquely upward by a predetermined angle with respect to the tilting member 104, and the discharge tube 106 of the strobe main body 108 is directed to the ceiling directly above the subject. After that, the discharge tube 106 emits light by releasing the shutter, and the subject is irradiated with the strobe light reflected by the ceiling. Note that the discharge tube 110 may emit light at the same time during bounce shooting.

  Next, when the stroboscopic device 100 is attached to a digital camera having a large lens barrel when it is desired to extend the stroboscopic light irradiation distance, the tilting member 104 is made perpendicular to the base 102 as shown in FIG. While standing up, the discharge tube 106 of the strobe main body 108 and the discharge tube 110 of the strobe main body 112 are directed toward the subject. Next, the power switch of the strobe device 100 is turned ON, and the light emission selection switch is set to No. Set to 1.2 (discharge tube 106, 110) side. At this time, the bounce switch is switched to the OFF (normal shooting) side in advance. When the neon lamp is lit, the shutter 88 of the digital camera 70 is half-pressed to focus automatically, and then the shutter 88 is fully pressed to release the shutter. Thereby, the discharge tubes 106 and 110 emit light, the irradiation distance of the strobe light is extended, and the strobe light from the discharge tubes 106 and 110 is irradiated to the subject without vignetting the lens barrel.

  When performing bounce shooting with this strobe posture, the bounce switch is switched to the ON (bounce shooting) side. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the strobe main body 112 is inclined obliquely upward by a predetermined angle with respect to the tilting member 104, and the discharge tube 110 of the strobe main body 112 is directed directly above the subject. Thereafter, the discharge tube 110 emits light when the shutter is released, and the subject is irradiated with the strobe light reflected by the ceiling. Note that the discharge tube 106 may emit light at the same time during bounce shooting.

  As described above, according to the strobe device 100 of the second embodiment, the two discharge tubes 106 and 110 are provided, so that the strobe light is not vignetted in the lens barrel of these discharge tubes 106 and 110. By causing a certain light emitting section to emit light, one strobe device can be used regardless of the size of the lens barrel.

  The strobe device 108 is provided on a tilting member 104 that is tiltable on the base 102 via a first hinge 105, and the second strobe body 112 is tiltably provided on the tilting member 104 via a hinge 109. Therefore, the strobe main body portions 108 and 112 can be disposed at a position where the strobe light from the discharge tubes 106 and 110 is not vignetted. Therefore, since the degree of freedom of adjustment for preventing vignetting of the strobe light is widened, the discharge tubes 106 and 110 can be arranged at optimum positions according to the size of the lens barrel.

  Further, in the strobe device 100, since the tilt direction of the strobe main body portion 108 by the hinge 105 and the tilt direction of the strobe main body portion 112 by the hinge 109 are orthogonal to each other, the degree of freedom of adjustment for preventing vignetting of the strobe light is further increased. Therefore, the discharge tubes 106 and 110 can be arranged at an optimum position.

  In the above description, the strobe device including the first and second light emitting units has been described. However, the present invention has a plurality of light emitting units, and each light emitting unit is provided in the camera body so that the angle can be adjusted. Is the technical idea.
