Abstract: The computer readable medium has embodied thereon a file management program for processing by a computer, the file management program comprising: a first code segment for, when an icon of a first folder displayed on a display apparatus is dragged and dropped onto another icon of a second folder displayed on the display apparatus, creating a third folder at the same level as the second folder; and a second code segment for copying a file stored in the first folder and a file stored in the second folder into the third folder.

Abstract: A digital camera is mounted on a camera mounting unit of a cradle, and supported as swayable. When the digital camera is tilted forward, a front switch is turned on, and a command to change into a storage mode is issued from a switch determination circuit to the digital camera. When the digital camera is tilted backward, a back switch is turned on, and a command to change into a PC camera mode is issued from the switch determination circuit to the digital camera.

Abstract: A digital camera system comprises a digital camera and a cradle unit, which are electrically connected via a connector and a connection terminal. The cradle unit is provided with an operation-code generator and a light emitter. When an external display mode is selected by operating an operational section of the digital camera, the operation-code generator generates an operation code as an analog signal. This analog signal is sent to the light emitter. Upon receiving the analog signal, the light emitter emits an infrared signal of the operation code toward a TV monitor to change the TV monitor into an external input condition.

Abstract: A video tape recorder includes an integrated camera. There is a title image data storage for storing a plurality of title image data items and audio data storage for storing audio data items associated with the titles. In response to a title indication supplied from the operator, this apparatus reads out title image data and audio data from the respective storage so as to record or to produce these data items together with a video signal obtained through an imaging operation. A title and a voice can be effectively inserted in a shooting operation.

Abstract: A helical scan video tape recorder includes a recording device having a head cylinder which carries magnetic heads therewith for rotating the head cylinder and applying incoming video signals to the magnetic heads to record the signals on a magnetic tape. A tape transport mechanism transports the tape while maintaining the tape in sliding contact with the head cylinder. A servo-lock sensing circuit senses a servo-locked condition in the recording device. A system controller responds to a record command entered on an operation board for controlling the tape transport mechanism to transport the tape in one direction to thereby record the video signals on the tape.

Abstract: A video camera includes a light receiving device to enable a remote control operation to be achieved and a tally lamp to indicate a state of operation of the camera to the operator. The light receiving device and the tally lamp are installed in a housing such that when travel members disposed in a lower portion of the housing travel on an annular rail arranged on the body of the camera, the light receiving device and the tally lamp are moved to change directions thereof with respect to the body. An operator causes light to enter the light receiving device from a desired direction so as to operate the camera and to recognize a state of the operation of the camera by visually checking the tally lamp.

Abstract: An automatic focus adjusting apparatus of a camera in which an object is shot by use of an imaging lens having a variable focus. The apparatus includes a distance measuring unit for measuring a distance between the object and the camera, an adjusting device for adjusting the focus of the imaging lens, an operating unit for entering an instruction directing an automatic focusing operation, and a control unit responsive to a result of a measurement effected by the distance measuring unit and the instruction entered by the operating unit for controlling the adjusting unit.

Abstract: A still video camera includes a color temperature sensor for detecting the color temperature of ambient light which is used in the color balance adjustment of video signals outputted from an image pickup system. The camera further includes a strobe emission circuit which produces a signal indicating when strobe emission is capable of being performed. A control circuit controls the adjustment of the color balance of the video signals on the basis of the color temperature detected by the color sensor in the absence of a strobe ready signal. Upon the activation of a shutter release switch, the control unit determines whether or not a strobe ready signal is present. If a strobe ready signal is present, the control unit fixes the color temperature to a predetermined constant value for color balance adjustment.

Abstract: When a disc pack containing a magnetic disc is loaded in a still video camera, all tracks on the magnetic disc are searched to determine whether each track has been recorded on or is blank, and the results of the search are stored in memory. If a continuous picture-taking mode has been set, the magnetic head is fed forwardly from a home position and is positioned on a track next to the last track recorded on. Since all of the remaining tracks from the track at which the head has been positioned to the final track of the disc will be blank, feeding of the magnetic head during the continuous picture-taking operation is simplified. In other words, in the continuous picture-taking mode, it will suffice merely to feed the head one track at a time each time a still picture is taken.

Abstract: An image recording/reproducing apparatus is disclosed which records video signals obtained by photographing an object onto a magnetic recording medium, such as a magnetic disc or the like, or reproduces the video signals recorded on the magnetic recording media. In the image recording/reproducing apparatus, when the object is photographed in a sequential photograph mode, the video signals of the object, as well as, data signals representing the photograph data, including the number of frames to be photographed in one sequential photograph unit and its sequential speed, are recorded onto the magnetic recording medium. During reproduction, the frames recorded in the sequential photograph mode are reproduced at a sequential photograph speed corresponding to the sequential photograph speed of the recording as set forth by the data signals.

Abstract: An electronic still camera includes a solid-state imaging device for generating electric charges corresponding to an incident light thereto and for producing in the form of a unit of video signals the electric charges in response to a driving signal. An exposing unit has an optical shutter which opens and closes in response to an instruction signal to expose the imaging device to the incident light. A recording unit for rotating a rotary recording medium records the unit of video signals on the rotary recording medium. A phase detector detects a predetermined rotation phase of the recording medium to produce a phase detect signal, and a control unit is responsive to a shutter release button and the phase detecting unit for controlling the imaging device, exposing unit, and recording unit. The unit of video signals are recorded on the recording medium in rotation beginning from the predetermined rotation phase of the recording medium with reference to the phase detect signal.
