  • Patent number: 7936381
    Abstract: According to a method of managing photographing conditions for an image sensing apparatus, one of images photographed by the image sensing apparatus is selected. The selected image, photographing conditions such as the exposure value and shutter speed in photographing the image, and a separately input photographing status such as the photographing place are stored in association with each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7498765
    Abstract: A rechargeable battery charging apparatus includes a type detection section for determining the type of rechargeable battery, a power-supply section for charging the rechargeable battery, and a charging control section for controlling the power-supply section. The charging control section stops the charging of the rechargeable battery or changes the limitation value of the charging current when it is detected by the type detection section that the type of the rechargeable battery is changed during charging.

  • Patent number: 6549237
    Abstract: An image sensing apparatus having a display device mounted rotatable about an axis on a side of the image sensing apparatus for displaying a sensed image. When the display device is folded up by the side of the image sensing apparatus, a mirror reflects an image displayed on the display device toward a finder, so that the displayed image can be seen though the finder.

  • Patent number: 5132807
    Abstract: An apparatus for recording main information signals in tracks formed on a recording medium, wherein the track is not only made up from the recording area for the main information signals, but also provided with a recording area for additional information signals, whereby digital additional information signals and analog additional information signals are recorded in frequency-multiplexed relation on the additional information signal recording area, thus forming an information signal recording apparatus.

  • Patent number: 4924326
    Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing recorded signals by periodically tracing with reproducing heads many recording tracks formed on a record bearing medium, is arranged to form from the output of the reproducing head a first periodic signal relative to a tracking error between the head and one of many recording tracks; and to control the movement of the record bearing medium relative to the reproducing head on the basis of a phase difference between the first periodic signal and a second periodic signal which is related to the tracing period of the reproducing head.
