Abstract: Imaging apparatus includes imaging unit that captures a subject image while changing an in-focus position to generate a plurality of pieces of image data, image processor that synthesizes the plurality of pieces of image data generated by the imaging unit to generate still image data having a deeper depth of field than a depth of field of each of the plurality of pieces of image data, and controller that controls the image processor. Controller causes image processor to detect a main subject from an image indicated by one image data in the plurality of pieces of image data, determine a range for synthesizing the plurality of pieces of image data based on a position of the detected main subject, and synthesize pieces of image data focused within the determined range to generate the still image data.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus performs search processing for shooting frame images while moving the focus lens and obtaining a frame image which is focused on each AF area, performs moving image shooting processing for recording a moving image while moving the focus lens after ending the search processing, and performs still image generation processing for generating a still image from among a plurality of frame images composing the recorded moving image data, by referring to a result of the search processing after the moving image shooting processing. When a user performs an operation of changing a focus position on a subject during a period from an end of the search processing to an end of the moving-image shooting processing, the imaging apparatus displays a message that calls user's attention on the display unit.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a display, an operation receiver, and a controller. The display displays a menu screen including menu items. The operation receiver receives a user operation on the menu screen. The controller controls the display according to the user operation via the operation receiver. The menu screen further includes: first tab information indicating a category for classifying the menu items; second tab information indicating a plurality of sub categories included in the category; and third tab information indicating, for each of the sub categories, a menu item set number in which menu items in one sub category are partitioned to be displayed per a set on the menu screens. The controller changes menu items to be displayed on the menu screen, according to a user operation input via the operation receiver with the first, second, and third tab information displayed on the menu screen.

Abstract: The controller of a digital camera executes copying of image data between memory cards loaded in the digital camera. The controller stores target medium information in a memory. The target medium information indicates, among the loaded memory cards, a memory card in which image data is recorded last or a memory card from which image data is read last. Based on the target medium information, the controller sets a copy direction. The copy direction indicates, among the loaded memory cards, a copy source memory card and a copy destination memory card.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus having a plurality of video modes for capturing videos with respective video quality, the imaging apparatus comprising: a display that displays information indicating the plurality of video modes; an operation receiver that receives a user operation for designating a video mode in the plurality of video modes based on the displayed information; and a controller that sets the video mode designated via the operation receiver for the imaging apparatus. Each of the video modes has elements corresponding to items associated with the video quality. Combinations of the elements of different items are limited in the plurality of video modes. The controller receives, via the operation receiver, a user operation for setting a refining condition associated with at least one of the items, and refines, from the plurality of video modes, a video mode to be displayed on the display in accordance with the set refining condition.
