Abstract: An exposure control device of a vehicle-mounted camera comprises an illuminance level determination unit, a plurality of timers, a timer operating unit, and an exposure level determination unit. The illuminance level determination unit determines that an illumination level of an external light illuminance corresponds to one of a plurality of illuminance levels. The timers each provided for a corresponding one of a plurality of change modes, the change modes being defined among the plurality of illuminance levels, or among a plurality of exposure levels for an exposure of a vehicular camera. The timer operating unit operates each of the timers in accordance with a state of change of the illuminance level of the external light illuminance. The exposure level determination unit determines one of the exposure levels for the exposure of the vehicular camera based on a count state of each of the timers.

Abstract: To increase the accuracy of adjusting the main light emission. An amount of main light emission is adjusted on the basis of an estimated pre-light-emitted subject distance or information corresponding to the estimated pre-light-emitted subject distance and an estimated lens-focused subject distance. The estimated pre-light-emitted subject distance and the information corresponding to the estimated pre-light-emitted subject distance are obtained by pre-light-emission processing. The estimated lens-focused subject distance is obtained from focus information through a lens. In a case of bounce light emission, in a case where the estimated pre-light-emitted subject distance is smaller than the estimated lens-focused subject distance, a distance made closer to the estimated lens-focused subject distance from the estimated pre-light-emitted subject distance by a predetermined amount is set as an estimated subject distance for adjusting the main light emission.

Abstract: Disclosed are a focus detecting apparatus capable detection in various light illumination conditions and an image acquiring apparatus having the same. The focus detecting apparatus may include a mark disposed on a primary image plane. A pair of images of the mark is detected by a sensor, the distance between which images is used to determine the main wavelength of the light received from a subject. The main wavelength is used in determining the chromatic aberration correction by which the defocus amount may be adjusted.

Abstract: There is disclosed a photographic system, wherein a user designates photographic conditions of a digital still camera through a graphic user interface displayed on a monitor of a personal computer. The personal computer derives second photographic conditions from the photographic conditions designated by the user, and sets up the digital still camera with the second photographic conditions. Data of a still image taken under the second photographic conditions are sent from the digital still camera to the personal computer, to be processed for gradation compression and gradation conversion. The processed still image has similar gradation to that intended by the user in most brightness range, while white-saturation in a high brightness range and black-saturation in a low brightness range are reduced.
