摘要:
Disclosed is a focus adjustment information forming device of the kind arranged to measure distances at a plurality of distance measuring areas on a picture plane specified by optical means which has its focal point being adjusted and to form information on adjustment of the focal point, the plurality of distance measuring areas including a center distance area located approximately in the center of the picture plane. The device comprises first priority means for giving priority to a measured distance value which represents the nearest distance among measured distance values obtained from the distance measuring areas; a second priority means for giving priority to the measured distance value obtained from the center distance measuring area according to its relations to the measured distance values of other distance measuring areas when one of the measured distance values of the distance measuring areas other than the center distance measuring area represents the nearest distance; and focus adjustment information forming means for forming information on adjustment of the focal point of the optical means on the basis of outputs of the first and second priority means.

摘要:
An image recording apparatus for recording an image captured by use of electronic zoom, comprises an electronic-zoom setting unit configured to set a zoom magnification when using the electronic zoom, a recording-mode selection unit configured to select at least either a non-compression format or a compression format as a recording mode in recording the captured image, a recording-size setting unit configured to set a recording size in each recording mode, and a control unit configured to, when the zoom magnification is set to a magnification at which an image is enlarged, control a recording size in the non-compression format to be larger than the recording size set by the recording-size setting unit.
摘要:
An image capturing apparatus performs photographing multiple times and composing the multiple images to obtain one image of a correct exposure. The apparatus includes an image capturing unit, an illumination unit and an image composition unit. The image capturing unit captures an optical image of an object as an electrical signal. The illumination unit performs illumination on photographing by the image capturing unit. The image composition unit composes multiple images obtained by multiple times of photographing by the image capturing unit. All of the multiple images are the images shot by performing illumination with the illumination unit.

摘要:
A flash device having a charging circuit which is arranged to be capable of changing between a flyback-type boosting action and a forward-type boosting action. The flyback-type boosting action is performed in the initial stage of a charging process and, after that, is changed over to the forward-type boosting action. The arrangement permits a charging action to be efficiently carried out.

摘要:
A camera includes a line-of-sight sensing circuit for sensing a position of a photographer's line-of-sight, and a processing circuit for controlling each of (i) the line-of-sight sensing operation and (ii) at least one other photographic processing operation. The processing circuit controls the line-of-sight sensing circuit to sense the photographer's line-of-sight in parallel with the at least one other photographic processing operation.
摘要:
A camera with focus detecting and hand trembling detecting apparatus includes a focus detecting device for automatic focusing and a hand trembling detection circuit for detecting the hand trembling state of the camera. At the hand trembling detection by the hand trembling detection circuit, the automatic focusing is automatically switched from the servo mode to the one-shot mode, thus enabling exact hand trembling detection.
