  • Publication number: 20160227110
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus whose posture is easily adjustable is provided. The imaging apparatus is configured to include an inclination detector detecting a degree of inclination of one of the imaging apparatus and an image captured by the imaging apparatus relative to a horizontal direction orthogonal to a direction of gravity; a display unit; a first inclination indicator unit allowing the display unit to display an indicator to indicate the degree of inclination according to a detection result from the inclination detector; a second inclination indicator unit notifying via sound according to a detection result from the inclination detector that the degree of inclination is over a predetermined value; and a selector unit allowing at least one of the first and second inclination indicator units to operate.

  • Patent number: 8947574
    Abstract: An imaging device includes a display on which a captured image of a subject is displayed, a first corrector to correct a first parameter related to shooting of the subject, a second corrector to correct a second parameter related to image processing to the captured image, and an automatic correction controller to determine a correction amount for the second parameter on the basis of a correction amount for the first parameter corrected by the first corrector, and control the second corrector to correct the second parameter by the determined correction amount.
