摘要:
In a voice mode, when a shutter button of a camera is fully depressed, first and second switches are turned ON, recording of voice starts. The shutter button is released. When the shutter button is half depressed after the shutter button is released the recording of the voice is stopped. Since the recording of voice is performed between when the shutter button is released and when it is depressed half, no mechanical sound is recorded.
摘要:
When an external communication device (14) is connected to an image processing apparatus, the external communication device (14) transfers identification information to the image processing apparatus through a communication driver (10). A central processing portion (8) transmits information of the image processing apparatus through the communication driver (10) when a communication with the connected communication device (14) is possible. This information of the image processing apparatus is information which can be processed by the communication device, and includes a program which can be executed by the communication device (14). As a result of executing the program of the information of the image processing apparatus, functions of photographing and playback and the like of the image processing apparatus can be selected and instructed from the communication device (14).

In a digital camera, a pre-measuring device obtains color temperature information according to external light in a preliminary exposure. A white balance control value is then determined. The white balance is subsequently adjusted when a strobe light is generated. A regular exposure is thereafter made using the strobe light and the image is recorded for future processing.

A photographing apparatus includes an imaging optical system to guide light from a subject, a movement mechanism to move the imaging optical system, a sub control section to move the imaging optical system toward a predetermined position with the aid of the movement mechanism when a power supply is turned on, and a main control section to execute system initialization when the power supply is turned on, and to move the imaging optical system with the aid of the movement mechanism and interrupt the movement of the imaging optical system at the predetermined position. The sub control section may also start a lens barrel initialization processing to drive the lens barrel from a non-photographing position to a photographing standby position while the main control section executes system initialization, and the main control section may drive the lens barrel to the photographing standby position after the system initialization is finished.
摘要:
The digital camera includes a CPU which controls the operation of the digital camera. The digital camera has an audio recording mode in which sound data can be continuously recorded. If this audio recording mode is under execution and if the CPU receives an instruction, through the operation section, to capture a still image of an object, the CPU provides control to record the sound and the image data corresponding to the still image simultaneously.

A digital camera further includes a compression/multiplex section for providing compressed motion picture data by compressing the respective frames constituting a motion picture in a predetermined operation mode, a communication interface for outputting the compressed motion picture data in an appropriate format, and a picture selection unit which permits a user to select a picture. When the user selects a picture, the compression/multiplex section outputs the selected picture instead of compressed motion picture data.
摘要:
An image processing method and an image processing apparatus in which a DCT section transforms image data to a frequency conversion coefficient using a discrete cosine transform coefficient, a quantizing section quantizes the transformed frequency conversion coefficient using a quantization coefficient indicating weighing in quantization, a Huffman encoding section encodes the quantized data, and a CPU detects a code rate for encoded data by a prespecified time interval during execution of processing for encoding the data quantized by the encoding means and changes the quantization coefficient during processing for encoding according to the detected code rate.
