  • Patent number: 8345124
    Abstract: A digital camera of the present invention comprises a control circuit executing an initialization processing of a recording medium mounted thereon and a series of photographing processings. The control circuit starts the initialization processing of the recording medium when a power of a camera body is turned on, and thereafter, determines presence/absence of an image recording operation regardless of whether or not the initialization processing has been completed. The control circuit starts the series of photographing processings when it is determined that the image recording operation has been performed, then, when either the exposure processing or one or more steps of signal processing is completed, suspends the series of photographing processings to determine whether or not the initialization processing of the recording medium has been completed, and resumes the series of photographing processings when it is determined that the initialization processing of the recording medium has been completed.

  • Publication number: 20120079300
    Abstract: A power-supply connection portion connects a power supply and a main body device. Operation information for operating the apparatus main body is stored in a volatile memory. A power feeder feeds power fed from the power supply, to the volatile memory. A non-operation state request receiver receives a non-operation state request for moving the apparatus main body from an operation state to a non-operation state. When the non-operation state request is received by the non-operation state request receiver, a power-feeding controller performs control such that the power feeder feeds the power to the volatile memory for a predetermined period. A mode determiner determines a mode of the non-operation state request. A changer is provided with a setter which sets the predetermined period depending on the mode determined by the mode determiner.

  • Patent number: 7893959
    Abstract: An OSD circuit superimposes a mask image on a video imaged by a camera main body in a camera device. A microcomputer performs processing for changing the position where a mask image is displayed (superimposed) within a range of imaging with the camera device on the basis of a signal representing the pan/tilt position of the camera device. At this time, when the mask image is moved in the pan direction from an area where the initial position of the mask image is set, the position and the size of the mask image are corrected depending on the amount of movement of the mask image and the tilt angle of the camera device.

  • Publication number: 20100110219
    Abstract: An electronic camera includes an imager. The imager produces an image representing an object scene. An LED device is arranged on a front surface of a camera casing. A CPU searches a face image of a person from the image produced by the imager, and causes a light-emitting operation of the LED device to differ depending on a search result. The LED device is set to non-light emission when the number of detected face images is “0”, emits light in red when the number of detected face images is “1”, and emits light in green when the number of detected face images is equal to or more than “2”.
