Abstract: The display device is mounted on a vehicle and includes a display, a reflectance control part, and a control circuit. The display includes a display surface on which a video is displayed, and is able to switch between on and off. The reflectance control part is positioned close to the display surface and is able to change a reflectance of incident light. The control circuit is configured to control a reflectance of the reflectance control part, the on and off of the display, and the video. The display surface is subjected to low reflection processing for reducing a reflectance of light.

Abstract: The image capturing apparatus extracts and records an effective image Ap from a captured image Ao obtained by imaging of incident light from a subject on an image capturing element by an optical system composed of optical members. When an angle of view of an image that is to be recorded is large, the image capturing apparatus adjusts an angle of view of the effective image Ap by an optical zoom unit and records the effective image Ap while correcting camera shake by a mechanical camera-shake correction unit. Only when a magnification of the optical zoom unit for the captured image Ao is maximal, the image capturing apparatus further adjusts the angle of view of the effective image Ap by an electronic zoom unit and records the effective image Ap while correcting camera shake by an electronic camera-shake correction unit.

Abstract: In an electronically zoomable digital camera having a hand shake correction mechanism, when electronic zoom operates, pixel shift is carried out in such manner of capturing a reference image and then capturing a shifted image after moving an image capturing element from the reference image by a prescribed amount of shift by means of the hand shake correction mechanism and thereafter interpolating pixels of the shifted image between pixels of the reference image. The amount of shift is changed according to a magnification of the electronic zoom. The hand shake correction mechanism has a continuous mode in which the movement is effected by a continuous amount and a fixed amount mode in which movement is effected by only a fixed amount and is driven in the fixed amount mode when the pixel shift is carried out.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus having an optical zooming lens which varies shooting magnification, an imaging sensor which captures image data of a subject image focused through the optical zooming lens, a zooming ring movable around a lens barrel containing the optical zooming lens for varying a focal length of the optical zooming lens, and a digital zooming portion which digitally enlarges the image data by reading a portion of the image data from the image data captured by the imaging sensor. In the above image capturing apparatus, the digital zooming portion is operated in response to a detection that the zooming ring reaches a predetermined position when a digital zooming instruction is input to the image capturing apparatus.

Abstract: More reality is given to weather phenomena reflected on an image displayed on a screen of a display unit and on operability of an operatable object. A global weather deciding part 901 decides weather in each global area obtained by dividing the whole map of a virtual world into a plurality of global areas. The weather in the global area in question is decided at intervals of a first time, in accordance with a preset behavior model and considering area information of each global area in advance. A local weather deciding part 902 decides weather in each local area obtained by dividing each global area into a plurality of local areas. The weather in the local area in question is decided at intervals of a second time, which is shorter than the first time, in accordance with the weather of the global area concerned decided by the global weather deciding part 901, and considering area information of each local area.
