Abstract: A lighting device for a digital camera is built including one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) along with a strobe. The LEDs are configured to provide lighting of the subject during a video mode of the camera and the strobe is configured to provide lighting of the subject during a still mode of the camera. These independent light sources may share a common reflector in some embodiments, while in other embodiments they may use separate reflectors. This lighting device may be built in to a digital camera or in some embodiments may be configured as a separate device controlled by the digital camera.

Abstract: A digital camera system and method that automatically maximizes television viewing area when a television is used to view images stored in or transferred from a digital camera. A test signal or image comprising a beacon is output from the digital camera and is displayed on a television screen. A user points the camera at the television. Firmware that runs on the digital camera moves the test signal and beacon horizontally and vertically towards respective edges of the television screen until the beacon is lost at each edge, and determines or calculates how much viewing area is available on the television screen. The autocalibration firmware then automatically adjusts the size of images sent from the digital camera to the television to maximize the viewing area on the television while minimizing cropping or clipping of the images.

Abstract: A digital camera and method that provide the ability to dynamically partition memory (both internal and removable) into memory dedicated for saved images and memory dedicated for deleted images. Deleted images may occupy as much memory as is available down to a user or factory selectable minimum. When a user deletes an image it is moved from a saved memory partion into a deleted memory partition, and when the memory partition dedicated to deleted images is full, then images are automatically and permanently deleted. In a preferred embodiment, the deleted images are automatically and permanently deleted on a first-in first-deleted basis. The deleted memory partition may be a physical memory partition or may correspond to indexed memory locations of the deleted images.

Abstract translation: 一种数字照相机和方法，能够将存储器（内部和可移动）动态分配到专用于保存的图像的存储器和专用于删除的图像的存储器中。 删除的图像可能会占用与用户相同的存储空间，也可能占用出厂设置的最小值。 当用户删除图像时，将其从已保存的内存分区移动到已删除的内存分区，当专用于删除的图像的内存分区已满时，图像将自动永久删除。 在优选实施例中，删除的图像以先入先出的方式自动并永久删除。 删除的存储器分区可以是物理存储器分区，或者可以对应于删除的图像的索引的存储器位置。

Abstract: An apparatus for environmental testing of a device under test (DUT), such as a printed circuit board. The apparatus generally includes a chamber for environmentally isolating the DUT with the DUT in situ and functional on another device (e.g., a motherboard). The DUT can be subjected to an environmental test condition inside the chamber while the other device is isolated from the environmental test condition. The chamber may have a connector for coupling the other device and the DUT, such that the DUT and the other device are in communication although in isolated environments.

Abstract: In one embodiment, there is shown a method for improving image capturing ability, such that contemporaneously with the initial capture of an image, metadata contained within the captured image is analyzed to determine which, if any, image capture parameters are in need of adjustment. The images are stored when the metadata contained therein does not yield image capture parameters in need of adjustment.

Abstract: A digital camera is built having a still mode and a video mode. The camera is configured to control two different light sources. When the camera is in still mode, it is configured to fire a strobe during capture of the image. When the camera is in video mode, it is configured to turn on a continuous light source during capture of the video. These two different light sources may be combined into a single unit or may exist as separate devices. In video mode, a partial depress of the shutter control may turn on the continuous light source prior to exposure, allowing the light source to stabilize before video capture begins.

Abstract translation: 建立了具有静止模式和视频模式的数码相机。 相机配置为控制两种不同的光源。 当相机处于静态模式时，它被配置为在拍摄图像期间点亮闪光灯。 当相机处于视频模式时，它被配置为在拍摄视频期间打开连续的光源。 这两种不同的光源可以组合成单个单元或者可以作为单独的设备存在。 在视频模式中，快门控制的部分按下可以在曝光之前打开连续光源，从而允许光源在视频捕捉开始之前稳定。
