  • Publication number: 20240048865
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a power supply circuit, and a power storage device. A charging unit charges the power storage device using power from the power supply circuit. A control unit performs control such that in a first operation state of the image capturing apparatus, power is supplied from the power supply circuit to the image sensor without power being supplied from the power storage device to the image sensor. The control unit further performs control such that in a second operation state of the image capturing apparatus in which a maximum power consumption of the image sensor is higher than in the first operation state, power is supplied from the power supply circuit and the power storage device to the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 11418703
    Abstract: Electronic equipment includes a first operating member having a detecting unit to detect touch and slide operations. Where a detecting unit touch detecting face is touched in the touch operation over a first and a second predetermined area, larger than the first predetermined area, or less, a first function is executed. Where the touch detecting face of the detecting unit is touched in the touch operation over more than the second predetermined area, a second function is executed. The touch detecting face is divided into a first, a second, and a third touch detecting face, in that order in a direction of the slide operation. A relation of 1.4?W1/W2?6.0 is satisfied. W1 represents a length of the touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation, and W2 represents a length of the second touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation.
