Aerial digital cameras and methods of controlling aerial digital cameras

摘要

An aerial digital camera comprises a housing 15, a lens adapter attached to the housing for receiving a lens, a frame 45, an image sensor 35 which is attached to the frame, at least three solid joints 51 which connect the frame and the housing, the Solid-state joints allow the frame to be displaced relative to the housing in a displacement direction 67 parallel to a light-receiving surface of the image sensor; a spring 69 which provides a biasing force between the housing and the frame oriented in the direction of displacement; and an actuator 71 configured to displace the frame relative to the housing against the biasing force.
