Abstract: An image sensing apparatus generates image data corresponding to a sensed image, and generates key data which is used to generate authentication data. The authentication data is used to authenticate whether or not the image data is altered. The image sensing apparatus erases the generated key data from the image sensing apparatus if at least two image data generated by the image sensing apparatus are stored in a memory.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an image recording unit configured to record captured image data on a first recording medium with no wireless communication function and a second recording medium with a wireless communication function, which is detachable, a recording destination setting unit configured to set a recording destination on which to record the image data by the image recording unit, and a transmission setting unit configured to set whether to transmit the image data to an external apparatus by the wireless communication function of the second recording medium. If the transmission setting unit sets the image data to be transmitted to the external apparatus, the recording destination setting unit automatically sets the second recording medium as the recording destination of the captured image data.

Abstract: A camera that is connected to a PC via a network sends an action decision program in response to an operation screen request from the PC, and obtains a decision result from the PC 300 by causing the PC to execute the action decision program. Based on the thus obtained decision result, data of an operation screen for operating the camera 100 is sent to the PC. As a result, the PC displays the operation screen based on the data. The user of the PC can then remotely control the camera using the operation screen.

Abstract: This invention makes it difficult to analyze key data necessary to generate authentication data of image data. In this invention, when a user turns on the power supply of an image sensing apparatus 10, key data necessary to generate authentication data is generated (step S201). When the user turns off the power supply of the image sensing apparatus 10, the key data is erased (step S204). Since a period during which the image sensing apparatus 10 holds the key data can be limited to “a period during which the power supply of the image sensing apparatus 10 is ON”, analysis of the key data can be made difficult.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus includes an image sensing unit and a key data control unit. The image sensing unit generates image data of a sensed image. The key data control unit generates key data if a user turns on a function of generating authentication data, and erases the key data from the image sensing apparatus if a user turns off the function. The key data is used to generate the authentication data. The authentication data is used to authenticate whether the image data is altered.

Abstract: The digital camera according to an embodiment executes image sensing processing first, if interruption processing occurs during transfer parameter setting processing. Thus, the user does not miss a photo opportunity.

Abstract: An image capture device is capable of transmitting captured images to a file server on a computer network. The image capture device stores the state of the communication environment with the file server, transmits a signal, based on the stored communication settings, to the file server to determine the state of the communication environment with the file server, and determines, based on the results of transmitting the signal, the communication environment with the file server.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus includes an image sensing unit and a key data control unit. The image sensing unit generates image data of a sensed image. The key data control unit (a) generates key data if a user turns on the power of the image sensing apparatus, and (b) erases the key data from the image sensing apparatus if a user turns off the power of the image sensing apparatus. The key data is used to generate authentication data. The authentication data is used to authenticate whether the image data is altered.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprising, an image capture unit configured to execute image capturing in response to an image shooting instruction, a display unit configured to display an image obtained by the image capturing, a transfer instruction acceptance unit configured to accept a transfer instruction to transfer the image to an external apparatus, a communication unit configured to transfer an image subject to the transfer instruction to the external apparatus, and a display control unit configured to control display by the display unit, that, if acceptance of the transfer instruction by the transfer instruction acceptance unit is possible during display of the image by the display unit, controls the display unit so as to continue displaying the image until the transfer instruction is accepted.
