20100225779	Method and Device to extend camera battery life - The battery power consumption in a camera is adjustable based on the level of camera activity determined from formation on scene changes. Information can be gathered from statistical data on auto-white balance, auto-exposure and auto-focusing calculations, or from scene movement and camera movement. When the activity level is low, the viewfinder frame rate can be reduced, the accuracy of analog-to-digital conversion in the camera can be reduced, and the entire camera operation can be slowed down.	09-09-2010
20100271489	Imaging unit, apparatus comprising an imaging unit, a system, and methods for calibrating an imaging apparatus - An apparatus includes an electronic imaging module, a calibration memory including stored calibration data indicative of specific characteristics of said electronic imaging module, and at least one register including stored allocation data indicative of composition of said stored calibration data.	10-28-2010
20100285837	Apparatus, methods and computer readable storage mediums - An apparatus including: a processor configured to control a flash unit in an exposure time period of an image sensor array, to provide a first non-zero light intensity in a first portion of the exposure time period and to provide a second non-zero light intensity, different to the first light intensity, in a second portion of the exposure time period.	11-11-2010
