Patent ID: 7280145

Claim:
A camera comprising: a photographing lens which inputs a subject image; an image pick-up device which comprises a photoelectrically converting surface, and which produces an image signal corresponding to beams of the subject image irradiated onto the photoelectrically converting surface; a dust-proofing member which is interposed between the photographing lens and the image pick-up device, and which comprises a transparent portion through which a visible light component is transmitted among beams of the subject image input by the photographing lens to the image pick-up device, the transparent portion being opposed to a front of the image pick-up device at a predetermined interval; a vibration member which is arranged at a peripheral portion of the dust-proofing member, and which vibrates the dust-proofing member approximately at a resonance frequency; a sealing structure which seals a space between the image pick-up device and the dust-proofing member; an image signal processing circuit which converts the image signal produced by the image pick-up device into a signal suitable to recording; and an infrared reflection layer provided on a light-incident surface of the dust-proofing member.
