Abstract: Provided is a camera module with a heating function. The camera module with the heating function includes a lens barrel including a lens accommodation portion in which a plurality of lenses including an outermost lens are accommodated; and a heating part formed by injecting a heating composition to the lens barrel, wherein an inner diameter of the lens accommodation portion is 50 mm or less, and the heating part is provided on the lens barrel opposed to an upper surface of the outermost lens and generates heat when power is applied.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus and method using a face recognition function for obtaining an image in which a plurality of faces are focused by setting AF areas in the plurality of recognized faces and photographing the faces in a bracket mode based on the set AF areas. The digital photographing apparatus includes: a face recognition unit detecting face information from a real image; an AF region setting unit setting a plurality of AF areas based on the detected face information; and a control unit operating so that an image is captured by adjusting focuses of the set plurality of AF areas.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus such as a digital camera, having a retractable body tube containing a lens assembly, and a method of controlling the same. The digital camera receives an ongoing series of images, analyzes differences between images to determine an abnormal camera condition such as dropping the camera, and automatically retracts the body tube into the camera to protect it from impact.

Abstract: Provided are a digital photographing apparatus which provides the benefit of distorting an image of an object display on an electronic viewfinder so that the object does not appear to be distorted to a user with astigmatism, and a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus. The digital photographing apparatus includes an image capture device configured to generate data from light incident to an object to generate preview images of the object; and an electronic viewfinder configured to display preview images, wherein the digital photographing apparatus is configured to distort the preview image to correct for the vision of a user and to control the electronic viewfinder to display the distorted preview image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a shaken image by using auto focusing. The method includes calculating a maximum AF value of a preview image and a maximum AF value of a captured image that is down-sampled according to the preview image and comparing the maximum AF value of the preview with the maximum AF value of the captured image to determine whether the captured image is shaken or not.

Abstract: Provided are a digital photographing apparatus, and associated method and recording medium with method instructions, by which smear generation during moving picture photographing or moving picture display is effectively reduced. The digital photographing apparatus includes an imaging device having an effective area that generates first image data from incident light and an optical black area that is disposed outside the effective area and extends horizontally; a first smear correction unit that corrects the first image data generated by the effective area by using smear data generated by the optical black area, thereby acquiring second image data corresponding to a second frame image comprising less smear than a first frame image corresponding to the first image data; a unit corrects the second image data thereby acquiring third image data.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for controlling an auto focus (AF) function. The method performs AF only on an area that is converted according to a shape of a subject, instead of on an area in a predetermined frame. Accordingly, focus is accurately adjusted even in a backlight situation or in a dark place, and also, an AF speed is increased since an AF area to be calculated is reduced.
