PHOTOGRAPHIC DEVICE WITH VARIABLE DIRECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHING, CONTROLLED VALUE OF FIELD OF VIEW AND SCALE OF PHOTOGRAPHY Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G03B37/04 

FIELD: photography.

SUBSTANCE: device is intended for producing wide-span pictures with the possibility of controlling the value of angular field of view and variable scale of the image for separate sections (zones) of the picture. Device consists of at least two photo cameras, each of which is made of at least one lens and at least one photodetector. Herewith the photodetectors fields of view are summed at simultaneous exposure of all the photodetectors. At least one camera is installed with the possibility of changing the inclination relative to the base plane and changing the position of the optical axis of the lenses included in the device relative to the base plane. Changing the inclination of the photo camera is made so that at increase in difference of angles of inclination of the photo cameras the increased total field of view of the device is provided and/or reduced angular overlapping of the photodetectors fields of view. At decrease in difference of angles of inclination of the photo cameras the decreased total field of view of the device is provided and/or increased angular overlapping of the photodetectors fields of view.

EFFECT: increased angle of field of view at maintaining high image quality combined with the possibility of changing the direction of photographing, changing the angle of view, changing the photodetectors fields of view overlap zone and the scale of photographing at constant distance to the observation object.
