  • Publication number: 20120194699
    Abstract: An illumination device performs illumination light communication, and signals indicative of the luminance of an object illuminated with illumination light and the color temperature of the illumination light are superposed on the illumination light. An electronic camera demodulates the illumination light received by a light-receiving circuit and determines the aperture value and the shutter value depending on luminance information included in the demodulation signal and an imaging sensitivity set in the electronic camera. The electronic camera demodulates the illumination light received by the light-receiving circuit and changes the color temperature adjustment reference used for color adjustment processing in accordance with color temperature information.

  • Patent number: 8009974
    Abstract: A power transmission capable of regulating the disengagement of a nut part from a screw part, and the like are provided. The power transmission is constructed of a rotation shaft having a thread formed on a periphery thereof; a nut member capable of being opened and closed, the nut member having a thread engaged with the thread of the rotation shaft, and pinching the rotation shaft and moving as the rotation shaft is rotated; a regulating part enabling movement of the nut member by regulating opening of the nut member; and a regulation releasing part capable of releasing engagement between the nut member and the rotation shaft by opening the nut member.

  • Patent number: 7855750
    Abstract: An optical filter that is provided at an optical path between a photoelectric conversion device which converts a subject image formed at a light-receiving surface thereof to an electrical signal and an optical system which forms the subject image with a light flux from the subject at the photoelectric conversion device, to filter the light flux, includes a stage formed at, at least, a portion of an external circumference of the optical filter.
