Abstract: An image capturing apparatus that includes one or more image sensors configured to capture a plurality of images and store the captured images in a memory. The apparatus also includes a circuitry that detects an input trigger and continues to capture new images in response to the trigger. The numbers of new images captured are equal in magnitude to half the magnitude of the capacity of the memory. The first new image captured after detecting the trigger is tagged as a reference image. In response to the number of new images captured, the sensors are deactivated and the reference image is displayed immediately on a display panel. On detecting an input operation, the apparatus displays a target image from the plurality of images captured in a quick and efficient manner.

Abstract: Captured or input image data is converted into an image of a size of a specific number of pixels. Then, predetermined plural types of different effects are applied to image data obtained through the conversion. Several types of image data items with the applied effects are arranged and simultaneously displayed.

Abstract: An electrostatic chuck has a structure in which a heater is sandwiched between a base member and an electrostatic chuck substrate, the heater being bonded to the base member with an adhesive layer interposing therebetween. The adhesive layer interposing between the heater and the base member has a structure in which a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer are stacked, the first adhesive layer being formed by curing an adhesive having high thermal conductivity, the second adhesive layer being formed as gel by curing an adhesive having lower viscosity than the adhesive of the first adhesive layer. Preferably, the first and second adhesive layers are both made of a silicone-based resin.
