20100070783 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND POWER CONTROL METHOD - An electronic device capable of controlling a power state of an external device from a first power state (ex. “Standby”) to a second power state (ex. “ON”) includes a determination unit operable to determine whether information indicating linkage is stored in a storage unit when it is detected that communication between the electronic device and the external device is enabled, and a transmitting unit operable to transmit a control signal for controlling power state of the external device. When the information indicating linkage is not stored in the storage unit, the transmitting unit stores the information indicating linkage and transmits the control signal for controlling power state of the external device to the second power state to the external device. When the information indicating linkage is stored in the storage unit, the transmitting unit refrains from transmitting the control signal to the external device. | 03-18-2010 |
20120069217 | IMAGING DEVICE - An imaging device is provided that is configured to perform continuous shooting and includes an imaging unit, a memory, an imaging control unit and a grouping determination unit. The imaging unit is configured to capture an image of a subject. The memory is configured to store continuous shooting control information indicating a value of a control parameter related to continuous shooting. The imaging control unit is configured to cause the imaging unit to perform continuous shooting in accordance with the stored continuous shooting control information.

20130002906 | IMAGING DEVICE - An imaging device is provided that includes an imaging component, an image processor a display component, and a controller. The imaging component is configured to capture a subject image and produce image information that corresponds to the subject image. The image information has a first region and a second region. The image processor is configured to perform a vignette processing on the second region to produce a vignetted image. The image processor is further configured to enlarge at least part of the first region to produce an enlarged image according to an operation signal from an interface component. The display component is configured to display the vignetted image on the second region and the enlarged image on the first region. The controller is configured to control at least one of the imaging component, the image processor, and the display component. | 01-03-2013 |
20130093945 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes a controller configured to calculate a target exposure value based on image data generated by an imaging unit and control an exposure to obtain the target exposure value based on a first shooting parameter set by a user, and a predetermined operation member for receiving operation of the user. The controller calculates a first appropriate range which is a range in which the first shooting parameter is settable for obtaining the target exposure value, calculates a second shooting parameter based on the target exposure value and the first shooting parameter set by the user, and performs an exposure control operation for setting the first shooting parameter within the first appropriate range, when the predetermined operation member receives user's operation in cases where the first shooting parameter set by the user is out of the first appropriate range. | 04-18-2013 |
