    摘要: Image data captured by digital cameras are shared among the digital cameras. Image data captured by digital cameras constituting members of an image-sharing group are shared, by way of a network, within the image-sharing group. Every time captured image data are output, the digital camera generates for each of the members distribution information, including a storage source directory, a distribution destination address, and a storage destination directory, all pertaining to the image data, by reference to a group list where member information is registered for each of the members, including a distribution destination address and a storage destination directory, to thus generate a distribution list having respective pieces of distribution information registered therein. Further, the digital camera sequentially reads distribution information from the distribution list and distributes the image data to respective other digital cameras, which constitute the members, on the basis of the read distribution information.

    摘要: Image capture devices are synchronized without using a communication unit for an image capture device to perform communication with other image capture device. When an image capture device 10 is set to the main device mode, it outputs a reset signal to a timing generator 40 simultaneously with the time when a flash circuit 50 performs pre-light emission and, when the image capture device 10 is set to the auxiliary device mode, the flash circuit 50 detects pre-light emission performed by other image capture device and outputs a reset signal to the timing generator 40 in accordance with the detection of the pre-light emission.

    摘要: Coordinated image capturing is appropriately performed even if an error occurs in the synchronization between cameras that are connected via a network. Camera A for image capturing and camera B for providing strobe light are connected via a radio network, and camera A sets a point at which to start exposure for image capturing Tx and a point at which to start strobe emission Tf such that Tx is earlier than Tf, the time difference Id between Tx and Tf becomes larger than a synchronization error Ie between a synchronous clock of camera A and a synchronous clock of camera B, and the sum (Id+If+Ie) of the time difference Id, the strobe emission period If and the synchronization error Ie becomes smaller than exposure period Ix. Then, camera A outputs a strobe emission command with Tf designated and an exposure command with Tx designated, and controls the exposure control mechanism to start exposure at Tx in response to the exposure command. On the other hand, camera B controls the strobe mechanism to start strobe emission at Tf in response to the strobe emission command received via the radio network.

    摘要: In order to efficiently transmit captured image data to a server using multiple digital cameras having a communication function, a plurality of digital cameras constitute a group with a master function allocated to the digital camera. Each of the digital cameras includes a plurality of communication units. The digital camera divides into three segments image data to be transmitted (uploaded) to a server, and allocates two of the three segments to the digital cameras, respectively. The digital camera transmits the allocated segments of image data to the digital cameras. The digital camera transmits to the server the one of the three segments allocated to the digital camera, and issues a transfer request to the digital cameras. The digital cameras transmit the received image data to the server according to the transfer request.

    摘要: To provide a camera which enables photographing while intentionally, subtly shifting operation timing from that of another camera. A digital camera has a timing computing circuit. The timing computing circuit receives a reset request from another digital camera by way of a communications interface. The timing computing circuit awaits a reset request for a standby period shown by the reset request, and outputs a reset command to a reset circuit. The reset circuit outputs a reset signal to a timing generator (TG) in accordance with the reset command.

    摘要: In a digital camera having multiple optical systems, multiple image capturing elements are effectively driven to reduce power consumption. A digital camera has a first image capturing optical system having a lens and a first image sensor and a second image capturing optical system having a lens and a second image sensor. A controller and timing generator selects the image signal from the first image capturing optical system while controlling an operation or power of the second image sensor and a clock driver to be OFF when the zoom position falls within a first zoom range. When the zoom position falls within a second zoom range, the image signal from the second image capturing optical system is selected while an operation or power of the first image sensor and a clock driver is controlled to be OFF. An operation or power of the image capturing optical system which is not selected is stopped so that power consumption is reduced.

    摘要: An automobile window molding includes an elongated leg having an embedded core member, an outer head portion having a contact portion, an inner support portion, a seal lip and a position control portion. The molding is suited to position a window in a supporting window frame. The head portion is integrally formed at an upper end of the leg and extends over a portion of the front widow glass. The contact portion is defined by a projection positioned between the head portion and the inner support portion so as to touch the end surface of the front window glass. The inner support portion is formed at a lower end of the leg and is configured to touch an inner surface of the front window glass. The perimeter of the front window glass is held between the head portion and the inner support portion. At least one seal lip is formed on the leg so as to contact a window frame. The position control portion is preferably bent towards the window glass, such that the projection is disposed to be closer to the inner support portion than to the core member.
