| 20090009609 | PHOTOGRAPHING DEVICE WITH IMAGE OUTPUT CONTROL FUNCTION - A photographing device outputs image data signals to a peripheral device that reproduces the image data signals in a reproduction format predetermined according to the location where the peripheral device is actually used. The photographing device includes an output-format selector and an information receiver. The output-format selector selects an output format for the image data signals to be output to the peripheral device. The information receiver receives location information for where the peripheral device is in actual use. The output-format selector selects the output format corresponding to the reproduction format, based on reproduction-format information and the location information. The reproduction-format information represents the match between a plurality of the reproduction formats and the locations on the earth where each reproduction format is employed. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100039535 | PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A photographic apparatus comprises a monitor, a face detector, and an electronic zoom controller. The monitor displays a first through-image based on image data. The face detector performs face detection on an image of an area displayed on the monitor, based on the image data. The electronic zoom controller performs first electronic zoom control that enlarges and displays a second through-image corresponding to a predetermined area including a face area detected by the face detector, to the size of a display area of the first through-image, on the monitor. The electronic zoom controller performs second electronic zoom control that enlarges and displays an intermediate through-image corresponding to an intermediate area including the predetermined area and larger than the predetermined area, to the size of the display area of the first through-image, on the monitor, before performing the first electronic zoom control. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100040358 | PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A photographic apparatus comprises a flash that flashes and a controller. The controller obtains information regarding state of charge of the flash when an operation for preparing a photographic operation is conducted before the photographic operation corresponding to fully depressing a release button, calculates a first time until the flash reaches a charged state where the flash can flash on the basis of the information, calculates a second time after fully depressing said release button, and determines whether the photographic apparatus performs the photographic operation using the flash after the second time has elapsed or the photographic apparatus aborts the photographic operation on the basis of a comparison between the second time and a threshold. The second time is a difference between the first time and an elapsed time from a time point when the first time is calculated. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100040359 | PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - A photographic apparatus comprises an information obtaining unit and a controller. The information obtaining unit obtains information regarding a photographic subject image. The controller performs a switching control that changes a first use mode to a second use mode on a basis of the information. The first use mode is set by a user, and the second use mode is different from the first use mode. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100149383 | IMAGER FOR PHOTOGRAPHING A SUBJECT WITH A PROPERLY SIZE - An imager is provided having an image-capturing device, a display, and a view angle controller. The image-capturing device captures a subject image and outputs an image signal. The display displays a through image consisting of multiple images continuously displayed. The view angle controller controls a view angle of an image so that a ratio of an area of a subject in an area of an image is maintained at a certain value when the display displays a through image. | 06-17-2010 |
