Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program that make it possible to implement an appropriate auto white balance (AWB) lock desired by a user. As a shutter button setting for applying the AWB lock, any one of Shutter Halfway Down, Continuous Shooting, or Off can be select and set. Furthermore, a setting is configured in which an AWBL button is assigned to a custom button so that the AEB lock can be applied by either a hold operation or a toggle operation. The present disclosure can be applied to an imaging device.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device acquiring a captured image on a subject; a display section; setting means for setting whether to make effective a temporary recording mode in which the captured image is temporarily recorded in a first storage section; if the temporary recording mode is effective, display control means for playback displaying the captured image recorded in the first storage section from when the temporary recording mode has been effective on the display section in response to an instruction operation of a user; and recording control means for recording an image specified by the user from the playback-displayed captured images in a second storage section as an image to be saved.

Abstract: Three light emitting elements and one light receiving element are provided on a surface of a substrate. An arithmetic processing portion of a signal processing circuit separates three reflected light signals from a light detection signal from the light receiving element. The arithmetic processing portion calculates a square sum of the difference between the entire waveforms of the reflected light signals while the reflected light signal is shifted. The arithmetic processing portion calculates a phase difference between the reflected light signals on the basis of a shift amount with which the calculated value is minimum. On the basis of similar processing, the arithmetic processing portion calculates a phase difference between the reflected light signals. The arithmetic processing portion identifies a movement direction of a detection object on the basis of the phase differences.

Abstract: Three light emitting elements and one light receiving element are provided on a surface of a substrate. The light receiving element is disposed within a first triangular region connecting the three light emitting elements. A first rectangle circumscribed around the triangular region is formed. In addition, a second rectangle circumscribed around a second triangle formed when intersections of a virtually set XY plane and optical axes of light beams emitted from the three light emitting elements are perpendicularly projected on the surface of the substrate, is formed. Directions of the light emitted from the three light emitting elements are set such that at least either one of length and breadth dimensions of the second rectangle is larger than a corresponding one of length and breadth dimensions of the first rectangle.

Abstract: In a hearth liner wherein an evaporation material is adhered to a substrate to form an optical thin film thereon, the present invention is directed to prevent bumping (splashing) when the evaporation material is irradiated by an electron beam from an electron gun to melt and vaporize thereof. A hearth liner of a vacuum evaporation apparatus wherein the electron beam from the electron gun is irradiated on the evaporation material to form an optical thin film on a substrate, wherein the cross-section shape of an evaporation material storage part of the hearth liner is a shallow semicircular (spherical) shape (bowl shape).

Abstract: Optical multilayer thin-film filters (OMTFFs) are disclosed. An exemplary filter includes a transparent substrate, a multilayer film (MF) on a surface of the substrate, and a top layer. The MF is of alternatingly laminated layers of a high-refractive-index (HRI) material and a low-refractive-index (LRI) material. The top layer is on an uppermost layer of the MF and is of a material having atoms of lower atomic weight than atoms of either the HRI or LRI materials. The OMTFFs are made in a vacuum environment by alternatingly laminating respective thin films of the HRI and LRI materials on the substrate. The top layer is formed on the MF. Between forming the MF and top layer is a suppression step in which the newly formed MF is exposed to moisture by briefly venting the vacuum to atmosphere. The moisture inhibits migration of the low-molecular-weight atoms into the HRI and LRI materials.
