1. Outline
The lens drive system is driven by the scanner/lens drive motor (M2). When the lens solenoid
(SL3) turns on, the switching gear is pushed in the direction of
. In this condition, when the
scanner/lens drive motor rotates in reverse direction (
), the lens unit will move in the direction of
reduction (
) by the work of the gear and the lens cable.
At the same time, the No. 4/5 mirror unit operates according to the distance over which the lens
unit is moved by the work of the gear and the cam, thereby varying the optical length.
At this time, the blanking lamp also moves in conjunction with the lens to blank out the appro-
priate front/rear widths to suit the selected reduction ratio.
