Abstract: An imaging apparatus fetches an optical image of an object so as to produce an image signal, records on a recording medium an image signal corresponding to a still-image-use image size according to a still-image recording instruction, records on the recording medium an image signal corresponding to a moving-image-use image size according to a moving-image recording instruction, repeatedly creates the image signal and causes a displayer to display a still-image-use through image corresponding to the still-image-use image size, repeatedly creates the image signal and causes the displayer to display a moving-image-use through image corresponding to the moving-image-use image size, switches the still-image-use through image and the moving-image-use through image, and accepts the still-image recording instruction or the moving-image recording instruction when the still-image-use through image or the moving-image-use through image is displayed.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information display device including an imaging unit that executes an imaging process to image a subject to output an imaging signal; a monitor capable of displaying an image of the subject based on the imaging signal; a switching part located near the monitor; a first display controller for displaying, in a menu on the monitor, each of a first group of items consisting of a plurality of items associated with the imaging process, whereby first setting data can be set; and a second display controller for displaying, in a menu on the monitor, each of a second group of items associated with a plurality of particular items in the first group and having fewer items than the first group, whereby second setting data can be set, wherein switching between the first and second display controllers is performed by operating the switching part.

Abstract: An electronic camera is provided with: an imager, having an imaging surface for capturing an object scene, for generating an object scene image; a designator for designating a specific position within the object scene image generated by the imager; a recorder for recording, together with position information of the specific position designated by the designator, the object scene image generated by the imager; and a reproducer for reproducing the object scene image recorded by the recorder, using the position information recorded by the recorder.

Abstract: An information display device includes a monitor, an operator, a display processor for displaying, on the monitor, identification information of item groups and items in the lower hierarchy of an item group, an item group selector for selecting one item group in response to an item group selecting operation on the operator, a display controller for making the display processor display, on the monitor, items in the lower hierarchy of the one item group selected by the item group selector, a first item selector for selecting an item from items currently displayed on the monitor in response to a first item selecting operation on the operator, and a second item selector for making the display processor sequentially display, on the monitor, items in the lower hierarchy of the item groups in response to a second item selecting operation on the operator, and for selecting an item from the displayed items.

Abstract: An image producing apparatus according to the present invention includes a control unit configured to switch from an operation mode of a face detection automatic exposing/focusing unit to an operation mode of a color detection automatic exposing/focusing unit when a single object region other than a face image is specified by a manipulation of a touch panel during an operation of the face detection automatic exposing/focusing unit, and to switch from the operation mode of the color detection automatic exposing/focusing unit to the operation mode of the face detection automatic exposing/focusing unit when a single face image is specified by a manipulation of the touch panel during an operation of the color detection automatic exposing/focusing unit.

Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus according to the present invention includes a main body with a front part on which a shooting lens is provided, wherein a moving image shooting button and a still image shooting button are provided at a rear part of the main body. A moving image shooting button and a still image shooting button are provided independent from the two aforementioned recording buttons on an upper face of the main body. The moving image shooting button and the still image shooting button provided at the rear part of the main body can be operated independently from the moving image shooting button and the still image shooting button provided on the upper face of the main body.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus is so configured that the imaging apparatus and an external electronic device are connected, and when the imaging apparatus is in a power-save mode state, if a predetermined button on an external electronic device-use remote controller is depressed, the imaging apparatus is shifted from the power-save mode to a normal activation mode, and respective thumbnail images of a still image file and/or a moving image file stored in the imaging apparatus are multi-displayed on the external electronic device. Therefore, a user is able to immediately confirm what images are stored in the imaging apparatus with a simple manipulation, and thus, convenience is provided.
