ABSTRACT:
An adaptor affixing a video camera to a film camera. The adaptor permits the transmission of the image formed on the focusing screen of the latter to reach the former in a correct left-right and up-down orientation. For this purpose, it utilizes a mirror which, in one position, transmits the image to the video camera. In the other, it permits the viewing of the image on the film camera's focusing screen with or without magnification. Nonetheless, it permits visual and manual access to the normal controls of the camera. A shield prevents the access of light not from the film camera's image to the video camera for a sharper and clearer image. The adaptor attaches to the usual coupling devices of the film camera which generally permits the affixing of photographic accessories. To permit a more compact system, the adaptor bends the light path from the image screen to the video camera through an angle greater than 90 degrees but not greater than 180 degrees. For a single lens reflex camera, this angle may amount to 130 degrees. For a view camera, the light path bends 180 degrees.
