Abstract: The present technology relates to an image pickup apparatus, a focus control method, and a program that are aimed at enabling an MF distance to be rapidly adjusted. An image pickup apparatus according to a first aspect of the present technology includes a lens section including a focus adjusting lens, a control section configured to drive the focus adjusting lens over a movable area, and an operation receiving section configured to receive an instruction operation for causing the control section to drive the focus adjusting lens, in which the operation receiving section distinctively receives a first instruction operation for moving the focus adjusting lens by a first number of steps within the movable area and a second instruction operation for moving the focus adjusting lens by a second number of steps more than the first number of steps within the movable area. The present technology is applicable to a digital camera.

Abstract: [Object] To propose an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of efficiently transmitting captured images between devices connected via a network even when a moving image or a plurality of still images are captured as a series of images. [Solution] The information processing device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a series of images captured by an imaging unit in accordance with a predetermined operation mode on the basis of an instruction from an external device connected via a network; and a transmission control unit configured to transmit a series of thumbnail images corresponding to the series of images to the external device via the network. The transmission control unit transmits at least some of the series of images to the external device via the network in accordance with an instruction from the external device to which the series of thumbnail images has been transmitted.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a measuring unit, a transmitter, and a receiver. The measuring unit first measures the performance of the information processing apparatus. The transmitter then transmits measurement results in the form of information indicating the performance measured by the measuring unit, together with a content request requesting desired content, to another information processing apparatus. The receiver subsequently receives content from the other information processing apparatus that has been supplied according to the content request and selected on the basis of the measurement results. In so doing, the information processing load is suitably adjusted according to the performance of the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An audio playing apparatus that plays a multiplexed audio stream resulting from the multiplexing of multiple kinds of audio is disclosed. The apparatus can be switched at least between a mixing output mode for mixing decoded data or uncompressed data of the audio streams of multiple kinds of audio and outputting the result to one audio output terminal and a separate output mode for outputting the audio streams of multiple kinds of audio to separate audio output terminals independently.
