Abstract: An imaging apparatus and a text display method capable of checking an imageable range of a subject without displaying a live view image and also capable of displaying a text corresponding to audio around the subject or an ambient sound on the apparatus main body are provided. The imaging apparatus includes a transparent casing, an imaging unit that is arranged in the casing and acquires a captured image of a subject, a transparent display unit that is arranged in the casing and includes a display screen orthogonal to an imaging direction of the imaging unit, a sound collection unit that includes a microphone and acquires audio or an ambient sound, a text generation unit that generates a text based on the audio or the ambient sound acquired by the sound collection unit, and a display control unit that displays the text generated by the text generation unit on the display unit.

Abstract: A printer-equipped imaging apparatus capable of giving new pleasure to a user and clearly recording an imaged scene, an operation method of a printer-equipped imaging apparatus, and a program are provided. The printer-equipped imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit 2 that acquires a captured image of a subject, a text generation unit that generates a text based on a sound emitted by the subject or a sound around the subject, a print unit that prints the captured image acquired by the imaging unit and the text generated by the text generation unit, the print unit printing a combined photograph of the captured image and the text, and a print control unit that causes the print unit to print the combined photograph.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a portable device having a first enclosure and a second enclosure, comprising: a joint device which slidably joints the first enclosure and the second enclosure, and which enables a first operation of slidably moving the first enclosure between a first position and a second position in a same plane and enables a second operation of rotatably moving the first enclosure around a predetermined axis in the same plane based on a reference position of at least one of the first position and the second position; and an instruction input device which inputs an instruction to the portable device based on at least the second operation of the first enclosure.

Abstract: A portable device having a first enclosure and a second enclosure, comprises: a linking device which slidably links the first enclosure and second enclosure in a slidable manner, the linking device permitting a first action of shifting the first enclosure between a first position and a second position in a plane, and a second action of shifting the first enclosure at least in a direction different from a direction of the first action in the plane using at least one of the first position and second position as a reference position; and a command input device which inputs a command to the portable device on the basis of at least the second action of the first enclosure, thereby enabling to operate the portable device according to the action of the first enclosure.
