    摘要: An image capture apparatus sets a first value relating to an aperture diameter, and performs display control when displaying on a display unit a plurality of settable first values including the first value currently set in the image capture apparatus. The image capture apparatus controls such that, when a first range in which changes in the first values and changes in second values indicating a lens brightness that are different from the first values are proportional and a second range in which the changes in the first values and the changes in the second values are not proportional are present as the plurality of settable first values, the changes in the first values are displayed discretely in the second range with reference to the changes in the second values.

    摘要: An image pickup apparatus 100 has a casing; a camera unit configured to be disposed in the casing and hold a lens; a protecting member 140 configured to protect the camera unit; and a holding member configured to hold the protecting member 140 and to be rotatably held to the casing around a shaft serving as a central axis. The holding member is rotatable between a first position at which the protecting member 140 is fixed to the casing and a second position at which the protecting member 140 is attachable to and detachable from the casing.

    摘要: The invention provides an image processing apparatus which comprises a controller which causes an image sensing device to execute either a first mode in which outputs image data of a first resolution, or a second mode in which outputs image data of a second resolution lower than the first resolution; and an evaluating circuit which, by outputting image data of the second resolution in relation to acquired image data, obtains an index value that relates to a spatial frequency of a frequency band in which a signal level decreases in image data of the second resolution more than in image data of the first resolution, wherein the evaluating circuit detects, by machine learning, the index value of image data of the second resolution, and the controller, based on the detected index value, selects either the first or second mode.

    摘要: A focus detection apparatus includes a selection unit configured to select as the focus detection area a first focus detection area and a second focus detection area including the first focus detection area and its periphery, and an information acquiring unit configured to acquire first information on whether or not the object moving within the imaging screen can be continuously captured in the first focus detection area. The selection unit selects the first focus detection area when the first information indicates that the object can be continuously captured in the first focus detection area, and the selection unit selects the second focus detection area when the first information indicates that the object cannot be continuously captured.

    摘要: Novel modular smart management devices in the form of drop safes include the modular components of a chassis, door and technology cabinet. The drop safes enable retailers to make cash deposits quickly and safely within or near their own facilities. Various technology, including RFID readers, RFID tags, and other equipment allow the drop safes to identify each deposited bag. Employees utilize specialized apps on their mobile devices to facilitate deposit creation and other tasks. Novel methodologies for accessing the drop safes for emptying employ single-use, time-expiration type authorization codes along with other security measures to minimize risk and to provide other benefits. Novel structures along with methodologies for replacing, on-site, modular components with auto-detection of functionality during initialization and re-initialization enables for efficient replacement and upgrading of components, including the upgrading of safes to provide additional functionality.
