摘要:
An imaging device according to the present invention has: a photometric circuit that detects a brightness of a photographic subject based on a light flux from the photographic subject that passes through a photographic lens; an exposure calculation circuit that calculates an aperture value and a shutter speed based on the detected brightness of the photographic subject; an imaging element that converts the light flux from the photographic subject received on each photo-electric element to an electric signal and outputs the electric signal, the imaging element having a plurality of the photo-electric elements and a micro-lens in which each of micro-lens elements is arranged facing to each of the photo-electric elements in order to converge the light flux from the photographic subject to a light receiving surface of each of the photo-electric elements; and a correction circuit that corrects the aperture value calculated by the exposure calculation circuit so that a signal level of the electric signal of the light flux does not change among photographic subjects each having a same brightness respectively.

A setting of control information changing apparatus having first and second operational components, a setting change device, and a switching device. The setting change device changes the setting of the first control information, for example, in response to the independent operation of the first operational component, and changes the setting of the second control information in response to simultaneous operation of both of the first and the second operational components. The switching device switches the operation of the setting change device between a possible condition in which the setting change of the first control information is possible and an impossible condition in which the setting change of the first control information is not possible. When the setting change device is in the impossible condition, the first control information is not changed if the first operational component is in operation, while the second control information can be changed by the simultaneous operation of the first and the second operational components. Therefore, changing operation of the undesirable control information is certainly prohibited.
摘要:
A still image recording apparatus for compressing and storing image information comprises a compression unit for compressing the same image information at a plurality of different compression ratios, and a memory for storing the image data compressed by the compression unit at the different compression ratios, collectively. It further comprises a selector for setting a combination of compression ratios to the compression unit. The selector selects the combination of compression ratios based on a degree of complexity of the input image information.

An electronic still camera includes, but is not limited to, an imaging unit to produce image data corresponding to an image of a subject to be imaged, a recording medium to record the image data and a sequence controller to control recording of the image data on the recording medium. The sequence controller is configured to modify specified data to be recorded at a beginning of the recording of the image data on the recording medium. The specified data indicates the validity of the image data. Additionally, a method is provided which includes, but is not limited to the steps of establishing a temporary identifier to be associated with a quantity of image data, recording the temporary identifier and the image data on a memory device modifying the temporary identifiers to be a modified identifier after the image data has been properly recorded and recording the modified identifier in the memory device.
摘要:
An imaging device which includes an optical unit passing light from a subject and having an exit pupil position. An image pickup element receives the light from the subject passing through the optical unit, and produces an image signal from the received light. The image signal has corresponding color excitation values. A color compensation mechanism adjusts a ratio of the color excitation values of the image signal produced by the image pickup element by adjusting at least one of the color excitation values in correspondence with the exit pupil position of the optical unit. Further, the imaging device can include an aperture positioned between the optical unit and the image pickup element to limit the amount of light received by the image pickup element from the optical unit. The size of the aperture is adjustable. The color compensation mechanism can then adjust a ratio of the color excitation values of the image signal produced by the image pickup element by adjusting at least one of the color excitation values in correspondence with the size of the aperture.
摘要:
A system to form reduced data for indexing use classified according to specific groups. A digital still camera records image data corresponding to a photographed subject, in frame units on a recording medium, and includes a classification unit to classify the image data corresponding to the photographed subjects into specific groups and a recording control to record image data corresponding to plural frames of the specific groups classified by the classification unit.
摘要:
A still-picture imaging apparatus includes a manually operable photography starting switch to output a start-of-imaging signal. A control circuit operates dependent upon the start-of-imaging signal to actuate an image pick up device and a color measuring sensor, which measures color temperature for purposes of white-balancing. The control circuit may control an adjuster to adjust white-balance of an image signal from the image pick up device based on a color temperature signal from the color measuring sensor.
