Patent number: 8810707Abstract: An image pickup apparatus which is capable of preventing shooting from ending in failure even when a display panel is unexpectedly closed under the influence of a strong wind, a water stream, or the like. Any shooting mode is selected from among a plurality of shooting modes including at least a first shooting mode and a second shooting mode. During taking of moving images in the first shooting mode, the taking of the moving images is stopped when a detection unit detects a display unit being in a closed position with respect to a main body of the image pickup apparatus, and during taking of moving images in the second shooting mode, the taking of the moving images is continued when the detection unit detects the display unit being in the closed position with respect to the main body.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hideaki Tsujii

Patent number: 8533371Abstract: A data recording apparatus includes a connection unit which is capable of connecting, as a recording medium, a first recording medium having a predetermined function and a second recording medium that does not have the predetermined function. The data recording apparatus detects a connection status of the recording medium to the connection unit, controls a menu concerning setting of the predetermined function. If the detection unit detects that the first recording medium is connected to the connection unit, the data recording apparatus makes the menu operable. If the detection unit detects that the first recording medium is removed and then detects that the second recording medium is connected to the connection unit, the data recording apparatus makes the menu inoperable, and maintains the menu in the operable state during a period from removal of the first recording medium to connection of the second recording medium to the connection unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hideaki Tsujii
