Abstract: An image pickup apparatus controls in such a manner that if a touch applied to a touch operation member is detected by a detection unit arranged to detect a touch operation applied to the touch operation member, a photographic preparation unit makes an adjustment of a photographic setting, and after the touch, if the detection unit detects a predetermined touch operation and thereafter detects that the touch operation member loses the touch applied thereto, a photographic processing unit does not execute a photographic processing, while after the touch, if the detection unit detects that the touch operation member loses the touch applied thereto without detecting the predetermined touch operation, the photographic processing unit executes the photographic processing.

Abstract: A display unit that moves into a first position and a second position with respect to a main body portion includes setting, where the display unit is in the first position, any of a plurality of settings including a first setting, with which a normal image of an image is displayed, and a second setting, with which a mirror image of an image is displayed, and displaying, where the display unit is in the second position with the first setting, an image that has an orientation opposite to that of the image displayed when the display unit is in the first position with the first setting, and when the display unit is in the second position with the second setting, an image is displayed with the same orientation as the image displayed when the display unit is in the first position with the second setting.

Abstract: When an autorotation function is ON and an object is photographed by holding a main body in an inverse attitude, rotation units rotate a camera image by 360 degrees in total and a rotation unit rotates display OSD data by 180 degrees. A combine unit combines outputs of the rotation units and writes panel-output image data into a VRAM. A combine unit combines recording OSD data drawn by a touch drawing function to the camera image rotated by 180 degrees in the rotation unit and writes into a recording VRAM. The image data in the recording VRAM is encoded and recorded as a moving image file into a recording medium.

Abstract: In a case where a dripproof case is not used, a CPU changes a position of a touch icon which is displayed to an LCD panel in accordance with a detection result of an attitude detection unit. In a case where the dripproof case in which a touch panel can be operated from the outside is used and a case mode is ON, a CPU fixes a display position of the touch icon to a position corresponding to an operation unit of the dripproof case irrespective of the detection result of the attitude detection unit.

Abstract: A display control apparatus includes a first display unit in an eyepiece viewfinder, a second display unit configured to be visible without the user's eye being in contact therewith, and a display control unit configured to perform control to display a soft keyboard on the second display unit without displaying the soft keyboard on the first display unit in response to an operation for displaying the soft keyboard during display on the first display unit.

Abstract: A wearing article having front and rear waist belt members that include waist elastic members attached thereto and spaced one from another in a longitudinal direction Y. On non-contractile regions, these elastic members do not overlap graphics on respective heat-sealable sheets or exert contractile force thereon. The non-contractile regions are formed by leaving between inner and outer sheets as well as between inner and outer sheets not coated with adhesive in respective middles of the front and rear waist belt members as viewed in a transverse direction X and cutting the waist elastic members attached under tension in the respective middles of the waist belt members. Along the ends of the non-contractile regions on the side of the crotch member, the inner and outer sheets as well as the inner and outer sheets are respectively joined to each other by means of heat sealing technique so as to form the joint zones.

Abstract: An underpants-type disposable diaper is of a size and a water absorption capacity suitable for infants 3 to 6 years old, and is capable of preventing the protrusion of the groin portion of the diaper in use so that leakage does not occur. The leakage can be avoided by increasing the size and the water absorption capacity of the diaper main body to a level suitable for infants 3 to 6 year olds still using diaper and at the same time improving the tracks of a plurality of elastic members disposed along the peripheral edges of leg holes so as to reduce the elasticity in the vertical direction of the crotch section and prevent the protrusion of an infant's groin.

Abstract: A disposable diaper having a front waist region including elasticized regions extending at least in the transverse direction Y, wherein the elasticized regions comprise a first elasticized region defined between a waist-opening peripheral edge and a front end flap of the absorbent chassis so as to extend in the transverse direction Y. A second elasticized region is defined adjacent the first elasticized region so as to extend in the transverse direction Y, and a pair of third elasticized regions are defined adjacent the second elasticized region and spaced from and opposed to in the transverse direction Y on both sides of a non-elasticized region formed in a transverse middle of the front waist region. The second elasticized region extends across the front flap of the absorbent chassis.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent wearing article having an absorbent chassis and an annular elasticized waist panel. The elastic waist panel includes a front waist panel and a rear waist panel. A rear waist panel has a dimension in a longitudinal direction that is greater than that of the front waist panel and further includes a first elasticized region, a second elasticized region defining a waist band and a third elasticized region located toward a crotch region of the article. Tensile stress of the third elasticized region, as measured in a transverse direction, is less than the tensile stress of the first and second elasticized regions.

Abstract: A moving image reproduction apparatus making it possible to rapidly and reliably find a target frame by search with simple manipulations. It is determined whether or not a currently manipulated frame move button is the same as that manipulated at the immediately preceding manipulation. If the current and preceding manipulations are performed on the same frame move button, a moving image is moved over the same number of frames as the number of frames over which the moving image was moved at the preceding manipulation. If the current and preceding manipulation are performed on different frame move buttons, the moving image is moved over a smaller number of frames than the number of frames over which the movement occurred at the preceding manipulation.

Abstract: In providing a user interface displayed in a tabbed format, a display control apparatus displays information effectively on a limited display screen, particularly in a tab display area. To effectively use the tab display area, a currently selected tab is displayed smaller than non-selected tabs that may be selected later.

Abstract: A stretchable composite sheet used in a waist region of a disposable wearing article. The stretchable composite sheet has a stretchable sheet and a non-stretchable sheet, and the stretchable sheet is stretched. Nip roll mechanisms are respectively arranged on one end side in the stretch direction (SD) and the other end side, and the stretchable sheet is bonded to the non-stretchable sheet by the nip roll mechanisms with the stretchable sheet contracted in the direction (CD) orthogonal to the stretching direction (SD). The above processes provide the stretchable composite sheet with basic weight change regions in which the basis weight of the stretchable sheet is changed depending on stretch conditions of the stretchable sheet. The basic weight of the basic weight change regions is greater than that of a center region of the stretchable composite sheet.
