  • Patent number: 8823864
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject to obtain an image signal; a display unit configured to display an image based on the image signal and a specific index; an instruction-receiving unit configured to receive a specific instruction; and a control unit configured to perform control such that, in a case where a specific mode is set, when an auto-focus point is designated using the instruction-receiving unit, it is determined whether the face of a subject is located at the auto-focus point, and then if it is determined that the face of the subject is located at the auto-focus point, auto-focusing, auto-exposure, and auto-white-balance suitable for the position of the face are performed.

  • Patent number: 7764877
    Abstract: In the present invention, there is provided an imaging apparatus including: a mode determiner configured to determine a mode that is set; an automatic focus detectable frame display controller configured to, if a predetermined mode is found set by the mode determiner, control displaying an automatic focus detectable frame for a predetermined period of time to delete the displayed automatic focus detectable frame after passing of the predetermined period of time; and a main controller configured to, if an automatic focus point is set at a position outside the automatic focus detectable frame, make the automatic focus detectable frame display controller control redisplaying the automatic focus detectable frame.

  • Patent number: 4622097
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a copper through-hole printed circuit board, which comprises forming a required pattern on a copper-clad laminated plate using a resist ink soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution, immersing the copper-clad laminated plate in an aqueous solution of a salt of an alkylimidazole compound represented by the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.2 represents an alkyl group having 5 to 21 carbon atoms, R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and HA represents an organic or inorganic acid, to form on the copper surface of the copper-clad laminated plate an etching resist film composed of the alkylimidazole compound, drying the resulting copper-clad laminated plate, and then treating it with an alkaline etching solution.
