  • Publication number: 20240083180
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes at least a tank configured to hold a first printing material at a first position and a tank configured to hold a second printing material at a second position different from the first position. A light emitting control unit controls light emitting states of a plurality of light emitters. If an amount of the printing material in the first tank is less than a predetermined amount, and an amount of the printing material in the second tank is greater than a predetermined amount, the light emitting control unit transits a state of a first light emitter from a state indicating that the amount of the printing material is greater than the predetermined amount to a state indicating that the amount of the printing material is less than the predetermined amount, and maintains a state of a second light emitter.

  • Patent number: 11184543
    Abstract: There is provided an exposure setting apparatus. A display control unit performs control so that a coordinate system region which expresses a coordinate system including a first axis corresponding to an aperture value and a second axis corresponding to a shutter speed is displayed in a display unit. The display control unit performs control to add, to the coordinate system region, a visual gradation in which a tone value changes in the coordinate system region in a direction from a side where the aperture value is low and the shutter speed is slow to a side where the aperture value is high and the shutter speed is fast.
