  • Patent number: 11671700
    Abstract: Provided is an operation control device that includes an operation detection unit that detects a first type operation and a second type operation having an operation area common to the first type operation. The operation control device further includes an operation response processing unit that performs response processing corresponding to the first type operation and the second type operation detected by the operation detection unit, and an operation determination unit that determines whether the second type operation detected by the operation detection unit is a valid operation or an invalid operation in a determination period corresponding to that the operation detection unit has detected the first type operation.

  • Patent number: 11463612
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a control apparatus, a control method, and a program for giving a sense of imaging to a user. There are provided a processing unit that processes data based on pixel signals output from a plurality of pixels, and a display control unit that causes a display unit to display an image based on the data processed by the processing unit as a through image. The display unit displays a mark indicating a recording process in response to an instruction of recording the data together with the through image displayed on the display unit. The mark is displayed at each of four corners of the display unit. Alternatively, the mark is displayed near a frame of autofocus. The present technology is applicable to an imaging device.

  • Publication number: 20190356834
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program capable of making a user feel that imaging is performed. An imaging device includes an imaging element, a mechanical shutter that exposes the imaging element by controlling a light shielding state of light entering the imaging element, an electronic shutter that exposes the imaging element by controlling a reading timing of the imaging element, an electronic shutter driving unit that makes the electronic shutter travel, and a mechanical shutter driving unit that makes the mechanical shutter travel after the exposure of the imaging element by the electronic shutter ends. A control unit that issues a drive instruction to the mechanical shutter driving unit is further included, and the control unit issues the drive instruction at the time when the exposure of the imaging element by the electronic shutter ends. The present technology is available for an imaging device.
