  • Patent number: 8971662
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus to generate a trimming image from an input image. The apparatus including a central processing unit (CPU) programmed such that during operation, when a first trimming region in which an object included in an input image is arranged with a first composition is beyond a range of the input image, sets a second trimming region in which the object is arranged with a second composition. One of the first composition or the second composition is a three division composition and the other of the first composition or the second composition is a two division composition.

  • Patent number: 7944474
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus which includes a camera shake correction mechanism and determines exposure conditions including at least a shutter speed in response to brightness of an image pickup object, including acquisition means, decision means, and setting means. The acquisition means is configured to acquire a focal distance of a lens for converging an optical image of the image pickup object. The decision means is configured to decide a camera shake limit shutter speed corresponding to the acquired focal distance. The setting means is configured to set, where the camera shake correction mechanism is valid, a shutter speed lower than the camera shake limit shutter speed by an amount corresponding to a predetermined difference in exposure value to one end of a setting range of the shutter speed of the exposure condition.
