Abstract:
An imaging apparatus having a projector, includes: an imaging unit that photographs a subject; a mirror image converting unit that converts a live view image photographed by the imaging unit into a mirror image; a projector that projects the mirror image of the live view image in a direction opposite to a photographing direction of the imaging unit; a control unit that initiates actual photography for recording the subject by the imaging unit when a posture of a main subject satisfies a predetermined condition; and a pose image superimposing unit that superimpose a pose image on a projected image, in which the control unit determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied and performs the actual photography when a superimposition degree of the main subject in the projected image and the pose image is a threshold value or more.
Abstract:
It is arranged so that a user looking at an optical viewfinder and manipulating an operating member of a camera can ascertain which operating member is being manipulated. An optical image of a subject is displayed in the optical viewfinder. Operating members of the camera, which include a shutter-speed dial, exposure dial and command lever, are provided with respective touch sensors for sensing that these operating members have been touched. If the user touches the shutter-speed dial, an image representing the shutter-speed dial touched by the user appears on the optical image of the subject. Viewing the displayed image allows the user to ascertain that he is manipulating the shutter-speed dial.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes: a solid-state imaging device having pairs of phase-difference pixels for detecting a phase difference; a position control section which changes the relative position of an imaging optical system and the solid-state imaging device; a control section which causes the solid-state imaging device to perform plural provisional imagings while changing the relative position; and a regular-imaging position determination section which determines one of the relative positions that are obtained when the provisional imagings are performed, as a relative position in regular imaging, on the basis of, among plural captured image signals which are obtained in the provisional imagings, output signals which correspond to a part or all of the pairs included in the solid-state imaging device, and which are obtained from pixels in areas including the pairs.
