20100266269 | Imaging equipment, photographic setting determination method, and photographic setting determination program - Imaging equipment includes: a position acquisition unit that acquires a current position; a memory unit in which a plurality of pieces of setting information representing photographic settings suitable for photography at positions and being associated in advance with the positions is stored; a control unit that reads setting information, which represents a photographic setting suitable for photography at the current position acquired by the position acquisition unit, from the memory unit, and determines a photographic setting according to the setting information; and an imaging unit that images a subject according to the photographic setting determined by the control unit. | 10-21-2010 |
20100329653 | CAMERA - A camera comprising a location sensor, a first recorder, a first calculator, and a first motor, is provided. The location sensor detects the present location of the camera. The first recorder records a past location. The past location is a location where an image was photographed at a previous point in time. The first calculator compares the present location of the camera with the past location. The first calculator calculates a first difference between the present location of the camera and the past location. The first monitor displays the calculated first difference. | 12-30-2010 |
20110064396 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - An image capturing apparatus including an image capturing unit configured to obtain an image by image capturing includes a first storage unit configured to store face information of an owner of the image capturing apparatus, an estimation unit configured to estimate a photographer of the image capturing apparatus based on a relationship between an object included in the image obtained by the image capturing unit and the face information of the owner stored in the first storage unit, and a change unit configured to change a photographing mode to a simple photographing mode according to the estimated photographer. | 03-17-2011 |
