    摘要: In a printing system capable of supplying a sheet of a job having undergone print processing by the printing unit of a printing apparatus to a post-processing unit capable of executing at least a specific type of post-processing among a plurality of types of post-processes, when the target job requires the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is inhibited from executing print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by a user using a user interface unit. When the target job does not require the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is permitted to execute print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by the user using the user interface unit.

    摘要: An imaging apparatus includes a communication unit, a movement unit, an imaging unit, and a control unit. The communication unit receives first information including information on a shooting position of an external apparatus. The movement unit moves the imaging apparatus to a position at which a bird's eye view of subjects is made possible. The imaging unit performs shooting at the position at which the bird's eye view of the subject is made possible. The control unit acquires second information on the subjects from an image that is shot at the position at which the bird's eye view of the subject is made possible, determines priority for shooting each of the subjects based on the first information and the second information, and controls the movement unit and the imaging unit based on the determined priority.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus capable of properly editing a moving image file including imaging information items recorded at different recording periods. The image processing apparatus executes an editing process on a moving image file in which a moving image including frames arranged in time-series and imaging information associated with the moving image have been recorded. The imaging information has a data structure in which long period imaging information recorded at a first period in the time series and short period imaging information recorded at a second period shorter than the first period in the time series are arranged. A system controller executes the editing process such that a frame having the long period imaging information becomes a first frame in the moving image file having been edited.
