Publication number: 20140365973Abstract: A system control unit displays, on a display unit, a menu screen corresponding to an operation mode designated through a mode change-over switch, and sets various conditions for the operation mode according to operation on an operation unit. The system control unit displays a predetermined menu item in a selected state on an initially opened menu screen. When a menu screen subjected to setting change is opened, the system control unit displays a menu item subjected to setting change last time in the selected state. A table indicating a menu item to be displayed in the selected state is stored in a nonvolatile memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2014Publication date: December 11, 2014Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Naomi Mori

Patent number: 8760528Abstract: An image capture apparatus capable of auto bracketing. When a capture count for the auto bracketing is N (N is an integer of not less than three), a total of N?1 correction values are set by at least one on each of a positive side and negative side with respect to a reference value, and the apparatus sequentially expands or narrows a correction width serving as a difference between the reference value and each of the N?1 correction values in accordance with user's operation. When the capture count is two, the reference value and one correction value are set, and the apparatus sequentially increases or decreases the one correction value within the predetermined range in accordance with user's operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Naomi Mori

Patent number: 8749689Abstract: An image capturing apparatus has a plurality of predetermined temperatures to be compared with the temperature of an image sensor. Every time a detected temperature of the image sensor exceeds one of the plurality of temperatures, a different predetermined indication corresponding to the predetermined temperature is displayed on a display device together with an image signal output from the image sensor, thereby giving a warning to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naomi Mori, Koji Yoshida

Patent number: 8421902Abstract: A display processing apparatus which makes it possible to set auto bracketing values while confirming a whole range of shooting conditions configurable for correction in which possible shooting condition corrections are taken into account. An exposure correction value is set based on an instruction from a user for correcting a preset value of exposure. Auto bracketing value auto bracketing shooting are set based on an instruction from the user. A process is carried out for displaying a scale for indicating values of the exposure correction value and the auto bracketing values, indicators indicative of a range of exposure correction values that can be set and are arranged in a manner associated with the scale, and indicators indicative of a range of auto bracketing values that can be set and are arranged in a manner associated with the scale and the first indicators.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Naomi Mori

Patent number: 8085332Abstract: The image pickup apparatus includes an optical viewfinder, a rear touch panel display, a registering part which registers whether an eye of a user viewing an object image through the optical viewfinder is a right eye or a left eye, a setting part which sets a non-enterable area where touch entry is not permitted in the touch panel to a first area when the right eye is registered, and to set the non-enterable area to a second area different from the first area when the left eye is registered. A controller controls the apparatus such that the apparatus does not perform an operation in response to a touch to the non-enterable area in the touch panel and the apparatus performs an operation in response to a touch to an area other than the non-enterable area in the touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Naomi Mori

Patent number: 5130573Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes an emitter-coupled logic circuit coupled between a first power source line and a second power source line. The emitter-coupled logic circuit has a differential circuit and an output buffer circuit. A wiring line is provided which is coupled to the emitter of a first transistor of the output buffer circuit and which carries an output signal of the emitter-coupled logic circuit to a circuit of the next stage. The semiconductor integrated circuit also includes a second transistor having an emitter coupled to the emitter of the first transistor, a collector coupled to the first power source line, and a base supplied with a second reference voltage, and a constant-current source coupled to the emitter of the first and second transistors and allowing a constant current to selectively pass through either the first transistor or the second transistor.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1990Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takanori Nawa, Naomi Mori, Hideji Sumi
