Abstract: An image pickup apparatus having a controlling unit, a propulsion unit for propulsion of the image pickup apparatus, and an image pickup unit which images plural subjects or a single subject. The controlling unit controls the propulsion unit to move the image pickup apparatus such that at least two out of the plural subjects and the image pickup unit do not interfere in position with each other, or such that the single subject and the image pickup unit do not interfere in position with each other. For instance, detecting a line of the plural subjects, the controlling unit controls the propulsion unit to move the image pickup apparatus to a position in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the detected line of the plural subjects, and instructs the image pickup unit to image the plural subjects or the single subject.

Abstract: An image data imaged consecutively is divided into three groups in time series. As for a first group imaged most newly, all imaged image data are held in buffers. The image data of a second group is divided again into subgroups at every 2N images. In the second group, the number of pieces of image data to be recorded in a certain subgroup is twice the number of pieces of image data held in the buffer in the subgroup imaged in the past adjoining the certain subgroup. In a third group, the image data having been held in the buffer included in the subgroup imaged in the earliest in the second group will be all held in the buffer.

Abstract: A user friendly image pick-up apparatus is provided, which is capable of reproducing a moving image in various ways. The image pick-up apparatus 100 is provided with a display device 5 and an image processing circuit 2, wherein the display device reproduces a moving image at a reproducing speed based on plural image frames produced by an image pick-up unit 1, and the image processing circuit adds and combines a predetermined number of image frames among the plural image frames produced by the image pick-up unit to successively produce standard frames to be produced at a standard reproducing frame rate and successively produces difference image data between the standard frame and each of the predetermined image frames.

Abstract: An image capturing unit outputs an image data signal. A first moving picture data generating unit generates first moving picture data based on the image signal from the image capturing unit. A trigger signal generating unit causes a trigger signal to be generated, every time a predetermined trigger condition is met, while the first moving picture data generating unit is in process of generating the first moving picture data. A second moving picture data generating unit causes, every time the trigger signal is generated, generation of moving picture data corresponding to an image signal of the predetermined period of time based on the point of time the trigger signal has been generated. A recording unit effects recording of the first moving picture data and the second moving picture data.

Abstract: An image pick-up apparatus is provided, which is provided with a recording medium, a image processing unit, a display, and a controlling unit. The recording medium stores plural continuous image frames of one scene. The image processing unit adds and combines a predetermined number of image frames among the plural image frames stored in the recording medium to successively produce image frames H for reproduction. The display switches the image frames for reproduction at a reproducing frame rate to reproduce a moving image. The controlling unit sets the number of image frames to be added and combined by the image processing unit in accordance with a reproducing speed of the moving image, whereby the moving image is reproduced with noises reduced at various reproducing speeds.

Abstract: An image pick-up apparatus includes an image pick-up device, a storage media which stores an image picked up by the image pick up device, a color space converter which converts a color space of the image; a storage media reader which reads out the image from the storage media, an external display interface, a coefficient determiner which determines a coefficient for color conversion based on comparison between a resolution of the image read out by the storage media reader and a resolution of a display which is connected to the external display interface, and a display controller which outputs the image of which color is converted by the color space converter based on the coefficient for color conversion to the display.

Abstract: A shooting operation is performed using a short exposure time at least one to obtain frame image data “A”, and a shooting operation is performed a plurality of times using a long exposure time to obtain sequential frame image data “B”. The image data “A” and “B” are recorded in a single file. In a moving image displaying operation, a moving image consisting of the plural pieces of frame image data “B” sequentially shot using the long exposure time is displayed. When the moving image being displayed is paused, a still image is displayed based on the frame image data “A” shot using the short exposure time.

Abstract: In a moving image recording process, a shooting operation using a short exposure time appropriate for shooting a still image, and a shooting operation using a long exposure time appropriate for shooting a moving image are performed repeatedly in turn. Plural pieces of frame image data “B” shot by the shooting operations using a long exposure time are successively recorded as moving image data. When a shutter button is pressed in the moving image recording process, frame image data which is shot using a short exposure time just before the shutter button is pressed is recorded as a still image.
