Abstract: In an interval capturing mode for performing automatic image capturing each set capturing interval, exposure settings including a shutter speed and capturing sensitivity are determined based on information relating to the capturing interval. Specifically, the exposure settings are determined by prioritizing a low shutter speed over a high capturing sensitivity when the capturing interval is a second capturing interval that is longer than the first capturing interval.

Abstract: The coating film-forming composition is a solution of pH 6 to 9 and includes an aromatic compound having an amino group and an aromatic ring in one molecule, a polybasic acid having two or more carboxy groups, and a halide ion. The content of polybasic acid in the coating film-forming composition is 0.05 to 10 times the content of aromatic compound, and the halide ion concentration is 5 to 600 mM. A coating film with excellent adhesion to a resin can be formed on a surface of a metal member by bringing the coating film-forming composition into contact with the surface of the metal member.

Abstract: An image capturing device capable of intermittent image capture, based on a predetermined given timing, to acquire multiple first images includes a detecting unit, an acquiring unit, and a setting unit. The detecting unit detects at least either a zooming operation or a panning operation that is performed when an image of a subject is captured. The acquiring unit causes a second image to be acquired in accordance with the zooming operation or the panning operation when at least either the zooming operation or the panning operation has been detected. The setting unit sets the second image as an image corresponding to at least one frame forming a time-lapse motion picture when at least either the zooming operation or the panning operation has been detected. The second image is acquired at a different timing from the given timing for acquiring the first images.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a closed-eye detection unit configured to detect a face from an image captured by the imaging unit and to detect whether the detected face has closed eyes, and a control unit configured to determine whether to issue a warning about a captured image to be recorded according to a detection result detected by the closed-eye detection unit for the captured image to be recorded and a detection result detected by the closed-eye detection unit for a preview image captured before the image to be recorded is captured.

Abstract: The present invention provides a PTO switch mode control device that is capable of performing appropriate idle shutdown when an engine is started, even in the case where an ignition switch is turned ON with a PTO switch ON when the engine is stopped. The PTO switch mode control device has: an ignition switch 3 that is turned ON or OFF to start and stop an engine 1; a PTO switch 4 that is turned ON or OFF to select switch a PTO mode that permits power takeoff, and an inactive mode that does not permit the power takeoff; and an ECU 2 that executes idle shutdown to stop the engine 1 when the engine 1 continuously idles for a predetermined time period, except for the PTO mode state. The ECU 2 functions to establish the inactive mode even when the PTO switch 4 is ON, when the ignition switch 3 is turned ON while the PTO switch 4 is ON, and subsequently establish the PTO mode when the PTO switch is switched from OFF to ON.
