Patent number: 7990458Abstract: A digital camera has an image-capturing device, an image processor, and a display. The image-capturing device creates a cleaning image which is used for pinpointing dust particles attached to an image sensor. The image processor creates an inverted cleaning image so that the top and bottom of a subject image provided on the image sensor match the top and bottom of a subject image included in the cleaning image. The display displays the inverted cleaning image.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventors: Tomohiko Kanzaki, Toshihiro Hamamura

Patent number: 7864220Abstract: A photographing apparatus comprises an operation unit and a controller. The operation unit has a direct key and an operation key. The operation key is used for setting a function regarding at least one of an image processing operation of an image data obtained by a photographing operation and a storing operation of the image data and is operated more than once for setting the function. The direct key is used for setting the function and is operated only once for setting the function. The controller sets the function corresponding to an operation of the operation key and that sets the function corresponding to one operation of the direct key. When the direct key is operated once, the function is set regardless of a prior function state set by operating the operation key.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2007Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventor: Tomohiko Kanzaki

Publication number: 20100073506Abstract: An image processor is provided that includes an image priority order determining processor, an image arranging processor, and a composite image creating processor. The image priority order determining processor determines priority order among a plurality of images based on predetermined priority information. The image arranging processor arranges the plurality of images with a layout that distinguishes images having higher priority in the priority order. The composite image creating processor synthesizes the plurality of images arranged by the image arranging processor into a composite image and stores the composite image in memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2009Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroyasu UEHARA, Tomohiko KANZAKI
