20090060488 | COMMANDER FLASH APPARATUS AND SLAVE FLASH APPARATUS - A commander flash apparatus for use in a wireless flash system which continuously emits light from the commander flash apparatus, transmits from the commander flash apparatus to a slave flash apparatus the data corresponding to the emission time interval of the commander flash apparatus, and controls the flash emission of a slave flash apparatus includes: a data setting unit for setting emission control data for control of the emission of the slave flash apparatus and emission amount determination data for determination of an amount of emission of the slave flash apparatus as the transmission data; and a data transmission control unit for controlling the emission of the commander flash apparatus so that the emission time interval per bit of the digital data configuring the emission control data can be longer than the emission time interval per bit of the digital data configuring the emission amount determination data. | 03-05-2009 |
20090136225 | Software Based Photoflash synchronization of camera equipped portable media device and external lighting apparatus - Methods of using software to synchronize the control of a camera on portable media device with the photoflash on an external lighting apparatus. | 05-28-2009 |
20090202236 | ILLUMINATION CONTROLLER, ILLUMINATION CONTROL METHOD, AND IMAGING APPARATUS - An illumination controller for controlling an illumination device that irradiates an object to be photographed with illumination light. The illumination controller includes an introducing unit that introduces ambient light emitted to the object from a light source other than the illumination device; a processing unit that processes the ambient light introduced by the introducing unit to have a same characteristic as that of the illumination light; and an irradiation controlling unit that controls the ambient light processed by the processing unit so as to irradiate the object therewith as illumination, from a same path as the irradiation path of the illumination light. | 08-13-2009 |
20110317991 | FLASH CONTROL FOR ELECTRONIC ROLLING SHUTTER - A method performed by an electronic camera in flash mode is as follows. A scene ambient lighting indication is obtained. An integration time interval and a flash pulse-on time interval for taking a picture is then set. The set integration time interval is shorter when the indication is bright than when the indication is dark; and the set flash pulse-on time interval is longer when the indication is bright than when the indication is dark. An image is captured using the set integration time interval and the set flash pulse-on time interval in accordance with an electronic rolling shutter (ERS). Other embodiments are also described and claimed. | 12-29-2011 |
20120207459 | Early Photographic Critical Point Synchronization System and Method - A system and method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera such that initiation of light emission of the photographic lighting device occurs after the first shutter blade of the camera begins to expose an image acquisition sensor of the camera to light and before X-sync associated with the first shutter blade stopping movement. | 08-16-2012 |
20120207460 | Early Photographic Predictor Signal Synchronization System and Method - A system and method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera such that initiation of light emission of the photographic lighting device occurs after the first shutter blade of the camera begins to expose an image acquisition sensor of the camera to light and before X-sync associated with the first shutter blade stopping movement. | 08-16-2012 |
20120243859 | Photographic Synchronization Optimization System and Method - A system and method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera using light emission profile information to position a light emission profile at a desired location in an image acquisition window. A light energy balance point of a light emission profile can be used to position the balance point at a desired location in an image acquisition window. | 09-27-2012 |
20130343742 | TTL Photographic Wireless Communication System and Method - A system and method for synchronizing a remote lighting device to a camera using a hot shoe connection and a wireless communication device connected via the hot shoe connector. The wireless communication device receives a request for flash data from the camera via the hot shoe connector. The wireless communication device responds to the request with response data that mocks information that a flash would provide if the flash were connected to the hot shoe connector, such that the camera continues to provide TTL data via the hot shoe connector to the wireless communication device. | 12-26-2013 |
20140241710 | Photographic Synchronization Optimization System and Method - A system and method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera using light emission profile information to position a light emission profile at a desired location in an image acquisition window. A light energy balance point of a light emission profile can be used to position the balance point at a desired location in an image acquisition window. | 08-28-2014 |

20120099847 | Systems and Methods For Controlling A Photographic Modeling Light Using One or More Camera Body Control Signals - A control system for controlling illumination output of photographic modeling lighting in response to camera body signaling/user control actuation. The control system is configured to detect one or more camera body signals. The control system generates an illumination output control signal in response to the detected camera body signal(s). The control system then transmits the illumination output control signal to one or more modeling lighting devices so as to cause the device(s) to operate at a first illumination output level. The control system also causes the modeling lighting device(s) to change from the first illumination level to a second illumination level. In one example, the second change occurs as a function of a preset delay. In another example, the second change occurs in response to a user actuating one or more camera body controls. | 04-26-2012 |
