Patent ID: RE41798

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus with laser-framing viewfinder and laser pointer functions, the image capturing apparatus comprising: a housing; a laser source installed inside the housing for generating a laser beam; a first lens set installed inside the housing for diverging the laser beam; a reflector installed inside the housing in a rotatable manner for reflecting the laser beam from the first lens set; a second lens set installed inside the housing for diverging the laser beam reflected by the reflector; a framing mask for masking the laser beam diverged by the second lens set to form a laser-framing viewfinder; a third lens set installed on the housing for focusing the laser beam from the first lens set; and a camera lens installed on the housing for capturing an object in the laser-framing viewfinder; wherein when the reflector rotates to a first position, the reflector is capable of reflecting the laser beam from the first lens set, the second lens set is capable of diverging the laser beam reflected by the reflector, and the framing mask is capable of masking the laser beam diverged by the second lens set to form the laser-framing viewfinder, and when the reflector rotates to a second position, the third lens set is capable of focusing the laser beam from the first lens set.
