Publication number: 20100144273Abstract: A communication control unit performs communications with an external device via a first wireless communication unit of which communication distance is short and which is capable of performing high-speed communications or a second wireless communication unit of which communication distance is long compared with the first wireless communication unit and which is capable of performing low-speed communications. A communication state judging unit judges a communication state of the communications with the external device via the first wireless communication unit or the second wireless communication unit. The communication control unit performs switching between the communications with the external device via the first wireless communication unit and the communications with the external device via the second wireless communication unit based on the communication state judged by the communication state judging unit and/or a transmission data amount to be transmitted to the external device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: Yusuke SEKIKAWA, Tsugumoto Kosugiyama, Toshihiro Ogata

Patent number: 7548267Abstract: A digital single-lens reflex camera comprises: an optical viewfinder; a retractable movable mirror for guiding subject images to the optical viewfinder; an image display device, serving as an electronic viewfinder, for displaying a subject image captured by an image-capturing device with the movable mirror retracted from the optical path; and a control device for starting image data acquisition with the image-capturing device after elapsing of a predetermined time, taking into consideration the amount of time necessary for the movable mirror to be retracted from the optical path and maximum diaphragm driving time of a diaphragm driving unit, following the user making a releasing operation while displaying a moving image on the image display device. This realizes a digital single-lens reflex camera which allows settings wherein the shutter release time lag is constantly the same, regardless of whether the optical viewfinder or the electronic viewfinder is used.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2005Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventor: Tsugumoto Kosugiyama
