Abstract: An image printer system that prints out images using image data taken by a digital camera and recorded in a recording medium and that saves the image data in the recording medium in another recording medium. In this system, parameters are set for the printing operation and for the saving operation before they are begun, and the two operations are performed simultaneously or in one sequence. The image data may be corrected for the printing, but the image data that is saved is the original image data.

Abstract: An air-driven rotating and cutting device or handpiece has a double-wheel rotor. The handpiece includes connecting channels for guiding air from first turbine blades to second turbine blades. Each of the channels is defined by an opening opened toward a direction parallel to the rotational axis and a surface portion formed by extending the opening to a direction along the rotational axis.

Abstract: Based on image data including a whole image 91, a specified region 91a defining a part of the whole image 91, and character data 91b corresponding to the part of the whole image within the specified region 91a, an image is displayed or printed that has the character data 92b arranged near to an extracted image 92a obtained by extracting from the whole image 91 the part thereof within the specified region 91a.

Abstract: An automatic exposure control apparatus comprises a skin color extracting circuit for extracting a skin-colored portion from an input video signal and a focus condition detecting circuit for detecting a focus condition of the skin-colored portion. Exposure is controlled based on outputs of the two circuits. That is, when a skin-colored portion is extracted and it is detected that the skin-colored portion is in an in-focus condition, exposure is controlled so as to be appropriate with respect to the skin-colored portion.
