1. Field of the Invention
Embodiments relate generally to a digital photographing apparatus and a method of controlling the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
Typically, a lens assembly of a digital photographing apparatus such as a camera is housed in a lens body tube. According to an ON/OFF position of a power switch in the camera, the body tube automatically moves to an extended, open position, i.e., a position where the body tube protrudes outside of the camera; or a retracted, closed position, i.e., a position where the body tube is housed within the camera. In the open position, a zooming operation may move portions of the lens assembly, and/or of the body tube itself, to a focal position according to an automatic or manual operation of a zoom switch, such as when taking a photograph. In the closed position, a photograph cannot be taken.
The body tube may move according to rotation of a motor, for example, a zoom motor. When the zoom motor rotates, a gear group linked to the zoom motor rotates, transferring the force of the zoom motor to a body tube member included in the body tube. This rotates the body tube member, thereby moving the body tube back and forth.
