  • Publication number: 20140192219
    Abstract: An imaging device is provided which includes a hue value setting portion that sets at least one hue value from among a plurality of hue values, a color component region detection portion that detects a region having a color component that includes the set hue value, from image data of a photographic subject, and a color component region display portion that, based on the image data of the photographic subject, converts, of the photographic subject, the detected region having the color component to a first color, converts regions other than the detected region having the color component to a second color different from the first color, and displays the photographic subject on a display portion.

  • Patent number: 8638365
    Abstract: A camera apparatus includes: a base; an outer case provided on the case for rotation around a first imaginary axis passing the base; an inner case provided on the outer case for rotation around a second imaginary axis extending on a plane intersecting with the first imaginary axis; a camera section incorporated in the inner case and having an image pickup optical system; a first driving section for rotating the outer case; a second driving section for rotating the inner case; and a conversion lens supported on the outer case; the inner case being rotated by the second driving section between a conversion lens use position at which an optical axis of the image pickup optical system is aligned with an optical axis of the conversion lens and a conversion lens non-use range within which an optical path of the image pickup optical system is displaced from the conversion lens.

  • Patent number: 8289682
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic apparatus, including: a first member; a second member provided on the first member for rotation in a first direction which is a circumferential direction around a first imaginary axis which passes the first member and a second direction reverse to the first direction; and a stopper mechanism for defining a range of rotation of the second member around the first imaginary axis.

  • Patent number: 8279300
    Abstract: An imaging device is provided which includes a color component region detection portion that detects, from image data of a photographic subject, a region that has a same or a similar color component to a color component of a target photographic subject, an area calculation portion that calculates an area of the detected region, a luminance calculation portion that calculates luminance of the whole photographic subject and luminance of the detected region, a current luminance level determination portion that determines a current luminance level corresponding to the area of the detected region, using the luminance of the whole photographic subject and the luminance of the detected region, and an exposure amount calculation portion that calculates an amount of exposure such that the current luminance level becomes a target luminance level.
