Patent ID: 7428381

Claim:
An electronic motion picture camera, having an optical receiving system ( 11 ) and a rotating mirror aperture ( 15 ) which directs a taken image imaged by the optical receiving system ( 11 ) alternately along a taking beam path ( 19 ) in the direction of an optoelectronic taking sensor ( 27 ) and along a viewfinder beam path ( 21 ) in the direction of an optical viewfinder ( 29 ), wherein a matt glass screen ( 33 ) is arranged in the viewfinder beam path ( 21 ) such that the taken image directed along the viewfinder beam path ( 21 ) is imaged on the matt glass screen ( 33 ), wherein the camera has a signal processing device ( 41 ) which is connected to the taking sensor ( 27 ) and which processes a signal produced by the taking sensor ( 27 ), wherein the camera has an electronic display ( 37 ) which is connected to the signal processing device ( 41 ) and which reproduces the processed signal as an additional image substantially at the same time when the taking sensor ( 27 ) produces the signal, wherein an optical vision mixer ( 35 ) is arranged in the viewfinder beam path ( 21 ) between the matt glass screen ( 33 ) and the optical viewfinder ( 29 ), wherein the optical vision mixer ( 35 ) is adapted to direct the taken image imaged on the matt glass screen ( 33 ) and the additional image reproduced by the electronic display ( 37 ) in the direction of the viewfinder ( 29 ), and wherein the camera has a control device ( 43 ) which controls the rotating mirror aperture ( 15 ), the taking sensor ( 27 ) and the electronic display ( 37 ) such that the taken image imaged on the matt glass screen ( 33 ) and the additional image reproduced by the electronic display ( 37 ) are shown substantially alternately in the viewfinder ( 29 ).
