Abstract:
A video apparatus includes a memory in which image information denoting a moving image is recorded and a thumbnail creator that creates thumbnail information denoting thumbnails upon completion of recording of the image information in the memory. The apparatus also includes various types of user interfaces by which a user can designate frames of the moving image information for thumbnail creation.
Abstract:
an electronic camera includes: an image-capturing unit that creates an image by capturing an image of a subject; an enlarged image generating unit that creates an enlarged image by enlarging a portion of the image created by the image-capturing unit; an optical viewfinder that enables verification of a subject range corresponding to a range of the image created by the image-capturing unit; and a warning output unit that issues a warning when the enlarged image generating unit is in operation.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide a digital camera capable of outputting image information suitable for using by peripherals. According to one aspect of the present invention, a digital camera includes an input section that inputs special information related to using images by peripherals, a special memory that stores the special information in advance, a processor that processes image information to be an output image data in accordance with each peripheral on the basis of the special information stored in the special memory, and an output section that outputs the output image data processed by the processor to the
Abstract:
An electronic camera displays recorded information, such as image frames, to permit the selection of items of information to be transferred to external equipment. Each time an item of information is transferred, an informative indication (e.g., an icon) is displayed in association with the transferred item to confirm the transfer and to permit an operator to select items of recorded information that may be erased. If an error occurs during transfer of a series of items, the operator can determine from the display the point at which the error occurred, avoiding the need for transferring items that have already been transferred.
Abstract:
A film image reading apparatus and method which more quickly reads images from a cartridge of developed film for production of thumbnail images which are displayed on a monitor. The apparatus reads a first image from the film cartridge using imaging condition values associated with each frame image. These imaging condition values include photographic information such as, exposure value, white balance value and focus adjustment. In the event that the first or current image being read by the apparatus is the start of a series of photographic images, the film image reading apparatus will set the exposure value, the white balance value and the focus adjustment only once for the entire series. The remaining images of the series are then read using the imaging condition values of the first image of the series. In this manner, these imaging condition values are not reset for each image and time is saved in reading the series of images from the film.
Abstract:
A film image signal generation apparatus, includes: a film displacement device which displaces a developed film which has a magnetic recording layer to an image area; an image signal conversion device which converts an image of a film frame which is opposed to the image area into a first image signal; a magnetic writing device which rewrites old data written in the magnetic recording layer of the film into new data; a data storage circuit which stores the old data and the new data; an image signal generation circuit which generates a second image signal which shows data change information, based upon the old data and the new data which are stored by the data storage circuit; and a control circuit which controls the magnetic writing device, the data storage circuit, and the film displacement device so as to rewrite the old data which is recorded upon the magnetic recording layer into the new data which is stored in the storage circuit, and controls the image signal conversion device and the image signal generation circuit so as to output the second image signal at a predetermined time.
Abstract:
The film image signal outputting apparatus of the present invention includes: an imaging section which forms an image of a developed film; a display condition setting section which sets a display condition for a film image which is displayed; and an image display signal output section which outputs a signal for displaying the image of the film which is formed by the imaging section, according to the display condition, wherein the display condition setting section cancels a display condition which was set for a film frame before outputting a signal to display an image of a next film frame.
Abstract:
A camera includes a display that displays in the viewfinder a photographic screen size even when the low consumption power supply mode is in use. The camera includes a power source, a controller, a film winding motor, a panorama frame driving motor, a CPU, an EEPROM, a viewfinder LCD and a timer. When the power switch is turned on, the CPU causes the panorama frame to move and changes the transmissivity of the viewfinder LCD to match the photographic screen size selected the largest number of times. When a new photographic screen size is selected using the photographic screen size switch, the number of times the photographic screen size has been selected is calculated and stored in the EEPROM. In addition, the time that has elapsed after the power switch has been turned on is measured by the timer, and when the time exceeds a predetermined value, the camera moves into the low consumption power supply mode with power still being supplied to the viewfinder LCD.
Abstract:
A camera capable of recording information about a color of light emission of a flashing device comprises a recording unit for recording information on a recording medium, an information acquiring unit for acquiring information about a color of light emission of the flashing device used, and a control unit for causing the recording unit to record the information about the color of light emission acquired by the information acquiring unit, on the recording medium. Information about the actual color of light emission of the flashing device at the time of photographing is thus transferred to a laboratory.
Abstract:
A film end detecting device of a camera, used for a film in which film aligning perforations are regularly formed in units of frames, includes: a winding device for winding the film, which has an end detection perforation formed at an interval smaller than the predetermined interval on a film end side of the film aligning perforation of the last frame; a detection device for detecting the perforations of the film; a time measuring device for, when the film is wound, measuring a time from when a given film aligning perforation is detected until the next perforation is detected; and a signal output device for, when the time measured by the time measuring device is shorter than a predetermined reference time, outputting a film end detection signal.
