Abstract:
A image stabilization apparatus includes a support member, a holder where a lens is movable between a retraction position and a vibration-prevention-and-correction region, an urging member that urges the holder in a direction of the vibration-prevention-and-correction region, and a drive member that causes the lens in the vibration-prevention-and-correction region to move to the retraction position when the drive member is in a first positional relation relative to the holder, and allows movement of the lens located in the retraction position to the vibration-prevention-and-correction region direction when the drive member is in a second positional relation relative to the holder, wherein when the holder and the drive member are in the second positional relation, the urging member causes the lens to move to the vibration-prevention-and-correction region from the retraction position, and in the position, enables movement of the holder within a plane perpendicular to the optical axis.
Abstract:
A zoom lens includes a frontmost lens unit, which is located closest to the object side and a plurality of lens units located closer to the image side than the frontmost lens unit. All the distances between adjacent lens units vary during zooming in the state in which the zoom lens is focused on an object at infinity. One of the plurality of lens units is a first focusing lens unit. During focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a short distance in a first shooting mode, only the first focusing lens unit moves. During focusing from an object at infinity to an object at a short distance in a second shooting mode, two lens units in the zoom lens move.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a main subject detecting unit, and control unit. The imaging unit includes an imaging element. The imaging unit generates image data. The main subject detecting unit detects a main subject from the image data. The control unit compares an exposure value of the image data with a predetermined appropriate value and performs an exposure control so that the exposure value for the main subject part in the image data changes to the appropriate value and the exposure value for a part excluding the main subject part in the image data changes to a value larger than the appropriate value.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus for the present invention comprises an image sensor which repeatedly reads out image data, an OB calculating unit which calculates a representative value of OB output levels read from the image sensor; and a memory which stores the representative value of OB pixel output levels calculated by the OB calculating unit in a manner of dividing into a part for subtraction (a integer part) and a part for carrying-over (a decimal part); and an image synthesizing unit which sequentially adds the image data read from an effective pixel region in the image sensor and generates an added image, wherein the above-described image synthesizing unit subtracts the part for subtraction of the representative value of OB pixel output levels stored in the memory (OB subtraction part) from either the generated added image, or the image read from the effective pixel region, and, when a next OB value for addition after second addition is calculated, the OB calculating unit adds the carrying-over (decimal) part to the representative value of OB output levels stored in the memory for the representative value of OB output levels calculated using the image data read from the OB pixel regions.
Abstract:
A shooting apparatus has an image pickup section, a display section which displays an image picked up by the image pickup section, an operation section for performing operations including a shooting command, a communication section which performs communication with a further shooting apparatus, a determination section which determines a left-right placement relationship between the shooting apparatus and the further shooting apparatus from a predetermined position held by the user with a right hand or a left hand or from a predetermined operation, and a control section which, by transmitting a signal to the further shooting apparatus through the communication section, performs control for causing at least a portion of an image picked up by the further shooting apparatus to be transmitted from the further shooting apparatus.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes: a display unit capable of displaying a rotational pathway which rotates on a screen and with which an operation of the electronic device is associated according to a position on the rotational pathway; a touch screen that detects a touch from an outside and receives an input of a positional signal according to a position of the touch; a display controller that converts the position of the touch corresponding to the positional signal received by the touch screen into a position on the rotational pathway and causes a mark to be displayed at the position converted; and an operation controller that controls an operation of the electronic device according to a display position of the mark on the rotational pathway.
