ABSTRACT:
A 3-D camera includes a film carrier which in turn includes a frame, a film holder, and a lenticular lens carrier juxtaposed with a film holder and movable within the frame. Four springs are disposed between the frame and the lens carrier to urge against the lens carrier and thereby spring-load the lens carrier. Also, two opposed paddles are pivotably coupled to the frame opposite the springs. The paddles abut the lens carrier, such that when the paddles are moved the lenticular lens is moved relative to the film holder. A drive bolt is threadably engaged with the frame, and the drive bolt abuts the paddles. The bolt is operated by a motor for turning the drive bolt to thereby release the paddles and cause the lens holder to move. Additionally, the motor turns a shutter flywheel which is coupled to the shutter of the camera to open and close the shutter in coordination with the motion of the lenticular lens. A portable embodiment of the camera is also disclosed.
