Abstract: A graphical user interface is proposed for generating an interface signal with a target on a display aimed. An image sensor has an image plane on which an image of the display including characteristic points is formed, a point of the image formed at a predetermined position of the image plane corresponding to the target. A processor calculates the position of the target on the display relative to the characteristic points on the basis of the output of the image sensor including the information of the positions of the characteristic points. And the interface signal is generated with the position of the target calculated.

Abstract: An electronic camera comprises an imaging optical system, image-pickup means for converting an optical image formed by the optical system into an electric image signal, memory means capable of recording the electric image signal, trigger means adapted to be actuated for transferring the electric image signal corresponding to a still optical image to the memory means and means for inserting data into the electric image signal thus transferred. The inserting means comprises means for replacing a part of the recorded electric image signal with "framed" or "unframed" data.

Abstract: Electronic camera comprises an image taking unit and a memory unit connected detachably. The image taking unit generates image signals corresponding to an object. The image signals are transmitted to the memory unit to be stored therein. The memory unit is detached from the image taking unit and connected to an external memory device such as a video tape recorder. The image taking unit has a monitor which can display the image signals in visual form before recording them in the memory unit.

Abstract: An electronic photographic camera includes an imaging optical system operable to be focused to an object to be photographed, a solid state imaging sensing device including a plurality of light-receiving elements disposed in the imaging plane of the imaging optical system and capable of producing a charge corresponding to the quantity of incident light and accumulating the charge therein, first transfer means having a first output terminal and adapted to transfer the charge accumulated in each of the elements separately to the first output terminal, and second transfer means having a second output terminal and adapted to transfer the charges produced in some or all of the elements collectively to the second output terminal, and metering means for measuring the brightness of the object from the charge transferred by the second transfer means.
