  • Patent number: 11070714
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus in which, on the basis of a pre-registered setting change position and/or pre-registered setting change time, a setting of the imaging apparatus is changed to a pre-registered setting associated with the setting change position and/or the setting change time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10999515
    Abstract: A status change estimating unit 501 estimates a change in lens status of an interchangeable lens 21. A warning control unit 502 determines whether user setting lens status set by a user for the interchangeable lens 21 through a user interface unit 41 or a communication unit 43 and interchangeable lens status are the same. In a case where the warning control unit 502 determines that the user setting lens status and the interchangeable lens status are different from each other, the warning control unit 502 outputs warning information to a warning unit 42 to warn the user. This configuration enables the user to recognize a difference between the user setting lens status and the interchangeable lens status by the warning issued by the warning unit 42.

  • Patent number: 10944942
    Abstract: In a case where it is determined by a reliability determination section 501 that retention aberration information of an in-apparatus aberration information retention section 31 is unreliable, a control section 50 sets detection aberration information generated by performing aberration detection processing by a lens aberration detection processing section 32 as application aberration information for correcting an aberration of a captured image. In a case where it is determined that the retention aberration information is reliable, the control section 50 sets the retention aberration information as the application aberration information. Aberration information can be generated if necessary.

  • Publication number: 20070218838
    Abstract: When recording a broadcast being received in a recording/reproducing device, a reception state detecting section generates a reception state detection signal indicating a reception state in accordance with a noise component mixed in a detection signal generated within a tuner section, or a noise component mixed in an S-meter signal generated within the tuner section, or a DC component mixed in the S-meter signal, while a writing unit synchronizes the reception state detection signal and a reproduction signal of a broadcast outputted from the tuner section, and records these signals as recording signal in the recording/reproducing device.

  • Publication number: 20040068403
    Abstract: In a signal receiving area, the multipath noise occurred at regular intervals is counted by a counter to acquire a multipath noise occurrence frequency. The time constant is set according to the multipath noise occurrence frequency by a time constant circuit. The stereo separation ratio is controlled by a separation circuit according to the time constant, thereby setting the restoration time from the monaural mode to the stereo mode at an optimum value according to a signal receiving area.
