  • Patent number: 10212382
    Abstract: A captured image and a blank area generated by a difference between an aspect ratio of the image and an aspect ratio of a screen are displayed on the screen. An item is located on the image and is displayed on the screen when the item is set to be superimposed and recorded on the image, and the item is located on the blank area and is displayed on the screen when the item is set to be recorded without being superimposed on the image. The image on which the item is superimposed is stored in a memory unit when the item is set to be superimposed and recorded on the image, and the image on which the item is not superimposed is stored in the memory unit when the item is set to be recorded without being superimposed on the image.

  • Patent number: 9778686
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a touch detection unit that detects a touch operation to a display unit. A display control unit controls operation so as to display a touch icon to the display unit. An attitude detection unit detects an attitude of the electronic apparatus. A setting unit sets a case mode to be used when the electronic apparatus is put in a case. A control unit controls, in a case when the case mode is not set by the setting unit, to change a position of a touch-responsive area adapted to receive a touch operation to the touch icon in accordance with the attitude of the electronic apparatus detected by the attitude detection unit, and, in a case when the case mode is set by the setting unit, not to change the position of the touch-responsive area irrespective of the attitude of the electronic apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8982153
    Abstract: When rendering a graphic according to the locus of an input position, it is determined whether a region which has been preset for the graphic to be rendered, and has the start position of the continuous input as a reference overlaps a region preset for an already rendered graphic by a predetermined amount or more. If it is determined that the regions do not overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, a graphic is rendered according to the locus of the input position. Alternatively, if it is determined that the regions overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, control is switched to remove the already rendered graphic according to the locus of the input position.

  • Publication number: 20150029224
    Abstract: When an autorotation function is ON and an object is photographed by holding a main body in an inverse attitude, rotation units rotate a camera image by 360 degrees in total and a rotation unit rotates display OSD data by 180 degrees. A combine unit combines outputs of the rotation units and writes panel-output image data into a VRAM. A combine unit combines recording OSD data drawn by a touch drawing function to the camera image rotated by 180 degrees in the rotation unit and writes into a recording VRAM. The image data in the recording VRAM is encoded and recorded as a moving image file into a recording medium.

  • Publication number: 20150007072
    Abstract: In a case where a dripproof case is not used, a CPU changes a position of a touch icon which is displayed to an LCD panel in accordance with a detection result of an attitude detection unit. In a case where the dripproof case in which a touch panel can be operated from the outside is used and a case mode is ON, a CPU fixes a display position of the touch icon to a position corresponding to an operation unit of the dripproof case irrespective of the detection result of the attitude detection unit.
