Abstract: L'invention concerne un système optique permettant la commande régionale de la mise au point. Ce système fait appel à un constituant optique de puissance variable tel que deux plaques de cisaillement optiques (22, 24) qui peuvent être déplacées latéralement l'une par rapport à l'autre pour régler et modifier la courbure de champ du système optique. Ce changement de courbure de champ créée une zone de mise au point dont la taille et forme particulières dans le champ de vue sont commandées à travers la manipulation des plaques de cisaillement (22, 24) l'une par rapport à l'autre et du champ de vue. La zone de mise au point peut être repositionnée dans n'importe quel point situé dans le champ de vue de façon que la zone de mise au point puisse affecter la lumière d'image coïncidant avec cette région particulière. Les plaques de cisaillement (22, 24) sont de préférence placées au niveau du plan focal intermédiaire du système optique, entre le corps de l'appareil photo (12) et la lentille de prise de vue (16). L'image qui a été modifiée par les plaques de cisaillement (22, 24) est ensuite transposée dans le corps de l'appareil photo (12) à l'aide d'une lentille de relais (14) et enregistrée par le film au niveau du plan de film primaire (28) situé dans le corps de l'appareil photo (12). Le résultat final est un système optique qui convient à un appareil photo dans lequel la commande de mise au point régionale est obtenue, indépendamment de la profondeur de champ de la lentille de prise de vue (16) ou des réglages de l'ouverture de cette dernière.
