Abstract: A living radical polymer that has a low molecular weight distribution and has a specific functional group at least at one end, and a resin-coated pigment has high dispersibility of a resin composition including the living radical polymer, is excellent in properties such as preservation stability, discharge stability, and color developability in a dispersed state, and is suitably used in a pigment dispersion. A living radical polymer has a specific functional group structure, the living radical polymer includes a polymerization initiator-derived specific organic compound moiety at one end or in a backbone of the living radical polymer and is obtained by reacting a radical generator having a specific functional group with at least any end, for example, an iodine end ascribable to a precursor. A living radical polymer composition includes the same; a resin-coated pigment is obtained by coating with the living radical polymer composition; and a method produces the living radical polymer.

Abstract: Provided are a digital photographing apparatus including a 3D touch panel through which various manipulation signals of a photographer are input, and a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus. Accordingly, not only plane coordinates information of an object is determined but also a distance between the object and the digital photographing apparatus is recognized as depth information to thereby control execution of a predetermined operation according to the depth information.

Abstract: A digital image processing apparatus capable of effective file management during the duplication and movement of a digital image file between digital image processing apparatuses, and a file arranging method used by the digital image processing apparatus. The apparatus stores a digital image file with a name including a serial number under a folder with a name including a part indicating a manufacturing company and a serial number. When the apparatus duplicates or moves a first digital image file stored in a first digital image processing apparatus to a second digital image processing apparatus, the digital image processing apparatus compares a name of a folder containing the first digital image file with a name of a folder of the second digital image processing apparatus, duplicates or moves the first digital image file to the folder, or generates a new folder and duplicates or moves the first digital image file to the new folder.

Abstract: A digital image processing apparatus that detects a moving object included in an input image, establishes a shutter speed according to an amount of movement of the moving object, and performs a capturing operation based on the established shutter speed, and a method of controlling the digital image processing apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving an input image; detecting a moving object in the input image; measuring an amount of movement of the moving object; and establishing a shutter time for a capturing operation according to the amount of movement of the moving object and according to at least one of: an established file size of an image to be captured or an established image size of the image to be captured.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus is provided which can recognize a face even in a dark place, such as under a backlight condition, or in too bright a place, and also provided is a method of controlling the same. According to the method, when a face is not recognized, an exposure value is temporarily adjusted so as to generate an image signal, and a face recognition algorithm is performed from the image signal.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus and a method of operating an image pickup device reduce generation of smear. The image pickup device includes a matrix of photoelectric converters which generate charges from incident light, vertical transfer paths for reading charges generated in the photoelectric converters and for transferring the read charges in a vertical direction, and a horizontal transfer path for transferring the charges on the vertical transfer paths in a horizontal direction. The method includes: applying vertical and horizontal transfer signals for causing the charges generated in photoelectric converters defining a subset of rows of the photoelectric converters to be read by the vertical transfer paths and to be transferred in the horizontal direction along the horizontal transfer path; and providing a predetermined period of time in which the horizontal transfer signals are not applied to the horizontal transfer path while charges are being transferred to the horizontal transfer path.

Abstract: Provided are a photographing control method and apparatus. The photographing control method includes: obtaining image data from a subject during pre-emission of a strobe, detecting a face region of the subject based on the obtained image data, and performing a calculation for main emission based on the detected face region and controlling main emission of the strobe. Accordingly, even when it is difficult to detect a face because of low brightness at the position of the face, the probability of detecting the face can be increased and an appropriately exposed image can be obtained.
