20080198259 | Auto focus system - The auto focus system obtains focus information on a lens-interchangeable camera body of a TV camera and sends the focus information to a lens apparatus mounted on the camera body. The lens apparatus controls an auto focus based on the focus information. It is thereby possible to control the focus on adequate conditions according to optical specifications of the lens apparatus and so on. | 08-21-2008 |
20080225159 | AUTOMATIC FOCUSING SYSTEM - A taking lens | 09-18-2008 |
20090237554 | AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM - If another registration pattern exists in an image as well as a selected tracking target in the course of tracking the selected tracking target and if the tracking target disappears from the image, said another registration pattern existing in the image is tracked. Thereafter, even if the tracking target, which disappeared, appears in the image again, it is continued to track said another registration pattern | 09-24-2009 |
20090238549 | AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM - Pattern data for specifying a face image of a person is registered in a pattern data storage unit 32 of a tracking device 16. When a face recognition auto-tracking mode is selected, a face image coinciding with the registered pattern data is detected, and an AF area is set to track the face image. | 09-24-2009 |
20090238550 | AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM - When it is detected that a tracking target disappears in an image range in the course of tracking the tracking target, which is a registration pattern selected as a target to be tracked from among registration patterns, an autofocus is disabled. Thereafter, the autofocus is kept being disabled even if it is detected that the tracking target having the selected registration pattern appears in the image range. Alternatively, when the tracking target disappears in the image range in the course of tracking the tracking target, the autofocus is disabled, and thereafter when the tracking target having the registration pattern appears in the image range, it is started to track the tracking target having the registration pattern. | 09-24-2009 |
