Patent number: 10542199Abstract: An image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a communication unit, and a control unit which communicates with an external device by first or second communication systems. The first system maintains communication connection even if the apparatus and device are not in a predetermined operational mode for executing image transmission processing. The second system maintains communication connection if the apparatus and device are in the predetermined mode. The control unit can automatically transmit a photographed image to an external device through the communication unit by the second communication system, and switch and control first and second functional modes for enabling and disabling a photography function, respectively. Where an image is photographed in the first mode, the control unit records the image as a target for automatic transmission. If the transmission target image is recorded, automatic transmission is not started during the first mode, and started during the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Tanaka, Taku Koreki, Takashi Onoda, Ai Nakajima, Genki Kumazaki

Patent number: 7483071Abstract: When the start of still picture AF operation is designated during moving picture pick-up/recording, the current position of an AF lens is acquired, and the AF lens is moved by X addresses from the lens position. The AF lens is moved to the Yth address in an opposite direction from the lens position to which the AF lens has been moved by X addresses, and an AF evaluation value is detected for each address. Whether the peak value of the AF evaluation value has been detected is determined. If so, whether the peak value is larger than the threshold is determined. If the peak value is determined larger, the AF lens is-moved to a lens position at which the peak value has been obtained. Hence, still picture AF operation can be performed within a short time during moving picture pick-up/recording.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventor: Taku Koreki
