Abstract: A frame molding includes a horizontal portion extending along an upper edge of a door panel and an inclined portion extending obliquely upwards from the horizontal portion to be connected to an upper sash. A decorative garnish is formed from synthetic resin and has an external shape that corresponds to external shapes of the horizontal portion and the inclined portion of the frame molding. The dimensions of the frame molding in the vehicle widthwise direction are reduced. The positioned accuracy between the frame molding and the garnish is enhanced by fixing the garnish to the frame molding that is fixed to the door panel.

Abstract: A frame molding for a vehicle door includes a first molding portion which is connected to a sash molding attached to a door sash, a second molding portion which is connected to a belt molding, which is attached to an upper edge of a door panel, and a corner portion at which the first molding portion and the second molding portion meet. The frame molding includes, at the corner portion, a corner engaging portion which is engaged with the door panel to restrict at least upward movement of the corner portion. This makes it possible to improve the stability of support for the frame molding.

Abstract: A camera system is disclosed which allows different types of lens apparatuses to be used in combination with a single image-taking apparatus without requiring changes of focus control signals on the side of the image-taking apparatus depending on the type of a lens apparatus mounted on the image-taking apparatus. The camera system includes an image-taking apparatus which outputs a focus control signal and a lens apparatus which includes a focus lens and is mounted on the image-taking apparatus. The lens apparatus includes a controller which produces a drive signal according to a type of focus of the lens apparatus based on the focus control signal and controls drive of the focus lens based on the drive signal.

Abstract: An image shooting unit 21 generates an image signal DVb having an image shooting frame rate. A main line image processing block 40 performs frame addition on the image signal DVb having the image shooting frame rate, and generates a main line image signal having a desired output frame rate. Based on the image signal DVb, a monitor image processing block 50 generates a monitor image signal having a frame rate independent of the frame rate of the main line image signal. Since the frame rate of the main line image signal and that of the monitor image signal are independent of each other, shooting an image while varying the frame rate of the main line image signal allows a monitor image at an image shooting time to be displayed at a predetermined frame rate using the monitor image signal DVr.
