  • Patent number: 9829676
    Abstract: The present invention provides an imaging device and a focusing control method capable of performing reliability determination of a phase difference AF at high speed. A phase difference AF processing unit (19) performs a correlation operation with respect to detection signal groups in first pairs P1, and performs a correlation operation with respect to detection signal groups in second pairs P2. A system control unit (11) compares a difference between a first correlation amount M1 which is a minimum correlation amount between the detection signal groups in the first pairs P1, among obtained results of the correlation operation with respect to the first pairs P1 and a second correlation amount M2 which is a minimum correlation amount between the detection signal groups in the second pairs P2, among obtained results of the correlation operation with respect to the second pairs P2 with a threshold value TH, to thereby determine a reliability of a focusing control based on the phase difference AF method.

    Abstract: An generation section generates a first display image based on an image signal output from an image pick-up device including first and second pixel groups on which respective images are formed by a pupil-divided subject-image, and generates a second display image for use in focus verification from first and second images based on an image signal output from the first and second pixel groups. A display controller performs control to display the first display image on a display section, and to display the second display image on the display section within a display region of the first display image. An automatic focus section, in cases in which a predetermined instruction has been input, performs automatic focusing in a focus region having at least a portion that overlaps with at least a portion of a display region of the second display image.

  • Publication number: 20170070244
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a storage control device includes a controller, a compression condition determiner, a compressor, and an error correction encoder. The controller receives a write request for a data item and determines whether or not the wear degree of a target region in a storage device to which the data item is to be written is less than a threshold value. The compression condition determiner determines, based on the wear degree, an optimal compression condition out of compression conditions that include lossy compression. The compressor generates, based on the compression condition, compressed data. The error correction encoder subjects the data item to error correction and generates encoded data.
