  • Patent number: 11902692
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a video processing apparatus and a video processing method that allow each person involved to make an advance preparation more easily. A presentation control unit controls, in such a way that, with a first scene of a captured video currently being captured used as a reference, advance information regarding a second scene is presented at a presentation timing before the second scene after the first scene, in a mode corresponding to an output destination of the captured video, the presentation of the advance information. The technology according to the present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a camera that captures video content such as a movie, a drama, or a CM.

  • Patent number: 11467371
    Abstract: Provided are an imaging device and a control method thereof for calculating an amount of tilt of an image sensor and an amount of deviation in a flange focal distance and presenting the amounts to a user. The imaging device acquires, for every one of a plurality of small areas in an imaging region of the image sensor, data regarding a focus position and a focusing degree of a lens by performing AF demodulation following movement of the focus position manually operated by the user, and calculates an amount of tilt of the image sensor or an amount of deviation in a flange focal distance of the lens on the basis of a cross-correlation of the data regarding the focus position and the focusing degree between the plurality of small areas.
