Abstract: There is provided an interchangeable lens mountable to a camera body. The interchangeable lens includes a zoom lens which can change a field angle of a subject image, a receiving unit for receiving sound pickup property information from the camera body, the sound pickup property information indicating sound pickup property of the camera body, and a lens controller for controlling drive of the zoom lens. The lens controller decides an available driving speed based on the sound collecting property information, the available driving speed being a driving speed settable to the zoom lens.

Abstract: An imaging device includes an imaging element, a shutter mechanism, an actuator, a position detector, and a drive controller. The shutter mechanism is switchable between an open and a closed state to control the light incident on the imaging element. The actuator is configured to drive the shutter mechanism. The position detector is configured to detect the time between when the actuator begins storing the driving force and when the shutter mechanism switches from the closed state. The drive controller is configured to direct the actuator to begin storing the driving force while image data is being read from the imaging element, and to control the actuator so as to delay the time when the shutter mechanism is switched from the closed state if the position detector detects that the shutter mechanism is in the first state prior to completion of the image data being read from the imaging element.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to capture a subject image to generate image data, a first display unit configured to display the image data generated by the imaging unit and to be capable of taking a reference position and a position different from the reference position, a proximity sensor configured to sense proximity of an object to the first display unit, a position sensor configured to sense whether the first display unit is at the reference position, a second display unit configured to display the image data generated by the imaging unit, and a controller configured to perform control, when the position sensor senses that the first display unit is not at the reference position, to activate the proximity sensor, and to operate the first display unit when the proximity sensor senses proximity of an object, and to operate the second display unit when the proximity sensor does not sense proximity of an object.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus for capturing an image includes a first display unit, a second display unit capable of being in a set-in state in which the second display unit is set in a body of the imaging apparatus or a non-set-in state in which the second display unit is not set in the body of the imaging apparatus, a proximity sensor operable to sense proximity of an object, and a controller operable to allow the first display unit to display an image when the proximity sensor senses the proximity of the object, and allows the second display unit to display an image when the proximity sensor does not sense the proximity of the object. The controller controls a sensing function of the proximity sensor according to whether the second display unit is in the set-in state or the non-set-in state. For example, the proximity sensor may sense the proximity of the object when the object is continuously sensed for a predetermined sensing time or more.

Abstract: A display device includes first and second display units each operable to display an image; a state detecting unit operable to detect a first state and a second state; a manipulation unit operable to be manipulated; and a control unit operable to control the first and second display units, wherein the control unit causes the first display unit to display the image when the state detecting unit detects the first state, and causes the second display unit to display the image when the state detecting unit detects the second state, the control unit switches a display unit to be activated from the first or second display unit which is displaying the image to the first or second display unit which is not displaying the image when the manipulation unit is manipulated, and the control unit causes the first or second display unit activated when the manipulation unit is manipulated to continuously display the image until the manipulation unit is manipulated again or until a change in state is detected twice by the stat
