  • Patent number: 10129473
    Abstract: A video recording apparatus that is capable of reducing generation of error in a time code due to an auto-power-off function. A setting unit sets a count method by which a time code given to a video image is counted by selecting from among a plurality of count methods including a free run mode in which the time code is counted regardless of whether a video image is recording. A control unit controls so as to perform auto power off to turn off power when a predetermined condition, which includes a condition where there is no user's operation within a predetermined period, is satisfied in a mode other than the free run mode. The control unit controls so as not to turn off the power even when the predetermined condition is satisfied in the free run mode.

  • Patent number: 9778686
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a touch detection unit that detects a touch operation to a display unit. A display control unit controls operation so as to display a touch icon to the display unit. An attitude detection unit detects an attitude of the electronic apparatus. A setting unit sets a case mode to be used when the electronic apparatus is put in a case. A control unit controls, in a case when the case mode is not set by the setting unit, to change a position of a touch-responsive area adapted to receive a touch operation to the touch icon in accordance with the attitude of the electronic apparatus detected by the attitude detection unit, and, in a case when the case mode is set by the setting unit, not to change the position of the touch-responsive area irrespective of the attitude of the electronic apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9160926
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of reducing storage capacity and lightening processing loads while keeping visual quality of shooting information high. An output unit resizes a taken image into images with resolutions corresponding to respective resolutions of a plurality of image output destinations including a display unit and output the images at the same time. A superimposition unit individually superimposes shooting information corresponding to the respective resolutions of the plurality of image output destinations on the images. A control unit provides control such that the shooting information is superimposed on the image output to the display unit and a selected image output destination and the output unit outputs the same, and that the output unit outputs the image to an image output destination that has not been selected without superimposing the shooting information on the image.

  • Publication number: 20150205356
    Abstract: In order to give a tactile signal with sufficient time even in a case where the displayed screen changes at a high speed, if a current scrolling speed is equal to or higher than a preset speed in scrolling a screen, a CPU determines whether a search point exists within a range calculated by multiplying the scrolling speed and a coefficient n within a specific distance in proportion to the current scrolling speed S. If a search point exists, a feedback duration count is reset, and a process for executing a tactile feedback is performed. A larger range is set for determining the presence/absence of a bookmark for a higher playback speed than a low speed to execute a tactile feedback as described above.

  • Patent number: 9007406
    Abstract: This invention provides a display control apparatus capable of more quickly displaying the next image while suppressing a decrease in viewability. The apparatus displays an image together with an added non-image area when displaying, in a display area of a display unit to be used to display an image, the image having an aspect ratio different from that of the display area. Upon accepting a scroll operation of instructing scroll display of the image displayed in the display area, the apparatus performs the scroll display in accordance with the scroll operation. At this time, the apparatus adjusts the non-image area to decrease the width of the non-image area in the moving direction of the scroll during execution of the scroll display as the operation amount of the accepted scroll operation increases.

  • Patent number: 8982153
    Abstract: When rendering a graphic according to the locus of an input position, it is determined whether a region which has been preset for the graphic to be rendered, and has the start position of the continuous input as a reference overlaps a region preset for an already rendered graphic by a predetermined amount or more. If it is determined that the regions do not overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, a graphic is rendered according to the locus of the input position. Alternatively, if it is determined that the regions overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, control is switched to remove the already rendered graphic according to the locus of the input position.

  • Publication number: 20150029224
    Abstract: When an autorotation function is ON and an object is photographed by holding a main body in an inverse attitude, rotation units rotate a camera image by 360 degrees in total and a rotation unit rotates display OSD data by 180 degrees. A combine unit combines outputs of the rotation units and writes panel-output image data into a VRAM. A combine unit combines recording OSD data drawn by a touch drawing function to the camera image rotated by 180 degrees in the rotation unit and writes into a recording VRAM. The image data in the recording VRAM is encoded and recorded as a moving image file into a recording medium.

  • Publication number: 20150007072
    Abstract: In a case where a dripproof case is not used, a CPU changes a position of a touch icon which is displayed to an LCD panel in accordance with a detection result of an attitude detection unit. In a case where the dripproof case in which a touch panel can be operated from the outside is used and a case mode is ON, a CPU fixes a display position of the touch icon to a position corresponding to an operation unit of the dripproof case irrespective of the detection result of the attitude detection unit.
