摘要:
An image extraction apparatus and flash control method for the same are provided. The method comprises taking a reference image, generates a first flash, and takes a first image. The first image is determined to be is overexposed or not. If the first image is not overexposed, a first flash parameter is set according to the first image. If so, a second flash is generated and a second image is taken. The second image is determined to be overexposed or not. If the second image is not overexposed, a second flash parameter is set according to the second image. If the second image is overexposed, a third flash parameter is set according to the reference image. Finally, a final flash is generated according to the first, second, or third flash parameter to obtain the desired image.

An image-taking apparatus includes: a face-detecting section that detects a face in a subject image; and a face-metering section that meters individual faces when the faces are detected by the face-detecting section, thereby obtaining metered values for the respective faces. The apparatus further includes a calculation section that calculates correct exposure values for the respective faces based on the metered values obtained by the face-metering section. The apparatus further includes a shooting section that performs, in response to a single shooting instruction, shootings with correct exposures for the respective faces based on the correct exposure values for the respective faces calculated by the calculation section.

The invention relates to a method in digital imaging for adjusting exposure, in which one or more exposure parameters (ET, AG) of a camera device are adjusted in connection with imaging. In the method, a histogram formed from a raw image frame (12) is analysed, from which one or more special values (Rhigh, Rlow) are specified and which compared with a target level (Htgt, Ltgt) set for them, and, if a special value (Rhigh, Rlow) differs from the target level (Htgt, Ltgt), the exposure parameters (ET, AG) are adjusted to achieve the target level (Htgt, Ltgt).

A method and apparatus are described wherein the composition responsiveness of a camera comprising an image stabilization system is adjusted. In example embodiments, the composition responsiveness may be adjusted in response to a particular photographic situation, including a scene condition, a camera optical configuration, a camera mode setting, or any combination of these. In another embodiment of the invention, the composition responsiveness is adjusted during a capture sequence used to take a photograph.

An exposure controller for use in a photographing apparatus including a flash, includes a diaphragm having a changeable opening to adjust the amount of light reaching a photosensitive medium from a lens optical system, a diaphragm control unit for changing the opening of the diaphragm during the time when a shutter is being opened, and a flash control unit for firing the flash at a predetermined time during the time when the shutter is being opened. This exposure controller enables photography having apodization effect.

In a wide range focusing camera, a cooperating engagement members are provided in moveable parts of a focusing mechanism and an aperture opening selecting mechanism so as to force the latter into selecting a smaller one of the aperture opening areas when the focusing mechanism is actuated into moving the lens to the position suitable for a close range shot. At the same time, a strobe light is enabled. Thus, the focal depth can be increased, and a clear picture of a close range object can be taken without regard to the condition under which the object is placed in relation with the surrounding objects. Also, a three-dimensional object having a depth can be photographed at close range with a satisfactory result. Because a number of settings required for such close-up shots are instantaneously set either manually by hand or automatically by an auto-focusing mechanism, it is possible even for an inexperienced photographer to take clear pictures of objects at close range.

A shutter apparatus is provided wherein openings for defining a secondary aperture are formed in respective shutter blades, such that an amount of light transmitted through the secondary aperture is detected, and the drive force for driving the shutter blades is changed so that the amount of the received amount increases in the opening stroke according to a predetermined function. When the integrated quantity of the received light reaches a threshold value, the movement of the shutter blades is reversed, and the shutter speed is determined based on the integrated light quantity obtained upon completion of shifting to the closing stroke. Thus, variations in the exposure amount that occur upon reversal of the shutter blades are canceled in the closing stroke.

A control device for a camera shutter comprises a diaphragm value setting device for setting a predetermined diaphragm value of the shutter, an exposure value setting device for setting an exposure value of the shutter, a storing device for storing an opening size of the shutter, output timings of signals for controlling opening and closing operations of the shutter, and an exposure value of the shutter corresponding to the set diaphragm value, and a control apparatus for controlling the opening and closing operations of the shutter on the basis of output signals from the diaphragm value setting device, the exposure value setting device and the storing device. The control apparatus calculates the output timings of the signals for controlling the opening and closing operations of the shutter on the basis of the exposure value of the shutter outputted from the exposure value setting device, and controls the opening and closing operations of the shutter on the basis of the results of the calculation.

An encoder for detecting a forward/reverse movement of a rotatable object includes a rotating shaft that is supported on a base and rotates in accordance with the movement of the subject, two rotating disks fixed to the rotating shaft, and two photocouplers mounted on the base which are associated with the disks. Each of said rotating disks is formed with a predetermined light modulating pattern to vary the intensity of light along a circumferential direction. Each of the photocouplers emits a light toward the rotating disk and detects the light modulated by the pattern on the rotating disk. The angular relationship between the rotating disks is selected such that the output signals from the photocouplers due to the rotation of the rotating shaft have a predetermined phase difference.
