Abstract: When directed to transmit data in a personal computer (1), a document image data generating section (22) generates document image data obtained by imaging a document content based on document data for every page. An index image generating section (23) composites a file name of the document data and icon image data corresponding to application software by which the document data is created, and thereby generates index image data. The folder generating section (26) generates a PC folder based on the document image data, the index image data, and the management data, and generated by a management file generating section (24) transmits the PC folder to a digital camera (51) via a data transmitting section (27).

Abstract: An imaging device equipped with an imaging system includes an imaging lens optical system which images an object, a flash emitting unit which synchronizes imaging in the imaging system to emit a flash having not less than a prescribed luminance in a charged state not less than a prescribed charged state by power to be charged, and a control unit which determines a charging amount of the charged state of the flash emitting unit and which controls imaging to be performed by using the flash emitting unit with an imaging sensitivity of the imaging lens optical system set in accordance with the charging amount of the charged state in imaging by the imaging lens optical system.

Abstract: A display screen of a liquid crystal display is divided into a main area and three sub-areas arranged vertically on the right thereof. A through image is displayed on the main area. On the respective sub-areas, composition images are displayed indicating different compositions and object regions different from each other. When any of the images is selected, the selection triggers the generation and recording of an image having composition similar to the selected composition image. When any of the composition images is selected, the selected composition image is enlarged and displayed on the main area.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus comprises an image capturing unit which captures image data of an object, a zoom image data generating unit which generates items of zoom image data having different zoom magnifications, a display control unit which displays through images on a display unit based on the items of the generated zoom image data, a selection unit which selects one of the zoom magnifications by selecting one of the through images displayed on the display unit, and a recording control unit which records image data corresponding to the selected zoom magnification in a storing medium.

Abstract: When a continuous-zoom-photographing mode is selected, a through image of a subject and first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames are produced on an image-display section. When a user operates a cross key, recorded information about a trimming position of each of the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames is updated according to the cross-key operation, and the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames are produced at the updated trimming position recorded after the update. When a shutter button is operated, still-image photographing is started and obtained image data is stored in a buffer memory. On the basis of the obtained image data, image data is generated for each of the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames through trimming processing and stored in the buffer memory. The obtained image data and the generated image data are stored in a flash memory.

When a user operates a cross key, recorded information about the trimming position of each of the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames is updated according to the cross-key operation and the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames are produced at the updated trimming position recorded after the update. After a shutter button is pressed down, still-image photographing is started and image data obtained thereby is stored in a buffer memory. On the basis of the obtained image data, image data is generated for each of the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames through trimming processing and stored in the buffer memory.

Abstract: A camera apparatus has an imaging unit, a display unit, a storage unit and a control unit. The imaging unit shoots an object and outputs image data thereof. The display unit displays an image. The storage unit stores shooting conditions. The control unit displays a real-time image based on the image data from the imaging unit together with a plurality of selectable images for identifying a plurality of shot images stored in the storage unit on the display unit; selects an arbitrary one of selectable images displayed on the display unit; sets that shooting condition stored in the storage unit which corresponds to the selectable image selected by the selection unit as a shooting condition for a shooting operation; causes the imaging unit to shoot the object according to the shooting condition set by the setting unit; and records obtained image data in a memory.

Abstract: A second-frame is displayed while a through image is displayed for a reviewing purpose immediately after the photographing operation is performed. The user is allowed to combine an object image of ID photograph with the second-frame. The user obtains plural ID photograph sizes with respect to the previously set display language by operating SET key (at step S14). The ID photograph sizes are different from country to country. The user trims portions of an image of image data defined by the second-frame based on plural ID photograph sizes to produce plural trimmed-images (images of ID photograph of different sizes (at step S15). One layout image is produced using the plural trimmed-images based on a layout chosen by the user (at step S18), and is recorded (at step S19).

Abstract: When a digital camera 1 is being swung, the CPU 10 judges whether or not a block group having motion vectors which are varyingly different from the motion vectors of a peripheral area 32 in a field angle photographing area as shown in FIG. 3A exists in a center area 31 as shown in FIG. 3B. When judged that a block group having varyingly different motion vectors exists in the center area 31, the digital camera 1 determines this block group as an observed photographic subject area. Subsequently, when the scalar quantity of the largest motion vector, among the motion vectors of each block in the determined observed photographic subject area, is smaller than a threshold v, the digital camera 1 judges that the user is attempting to perform a follow shot and there is no blurring of the photographic subject, and performs automatic shooting.

Abstract: A digital camera picks up an image of an object for face authentication prior to each of, for example, continuous photographing operations, and operates as follows if performing an actual photographing process only when a face of a designated person can be recognized in the acquired image. If the face of the designated person can be recognized at an arbitrary timing and the actual photographing process is performed, the digital camera changes a plurality of recognition conditions at the arbitrary timing, thereby reducing face recognition accuracy used if the face of the designated person is recognized at a time of second and following face recognitions. By reducing the face recognition accuracy, the second and following face recognitions can be performed at high speed.
