Abstract: A camera shake detection unit detects a camera shake value. A shutter button that is a shutter operating unit is operated in imaging. A prediction range calculation unit calculates a prediction range of a camera shake value that occurs in a case where the shutter button is operated, on the basis of a history of the camera shake value after a previous operation of the shutter button. A camera shake display controller displays a locus of camera shake on an EVFLCD on the basis of the camera shake value detected by the camera shake detection unit before the operation of the shutter button, and displays the prediction range on the EVFLCD using a leading end of the locus as a starting point.

Abstract: Systems and devices for acquiring imagery and three-dimensional (3D) models of objects are provided. An example device includes a platform configured to enable an object to be positioned thereon, and a plurality of scanners configured to capture geometry and texture information of the object when the object is positioned on the platform. A first scanner is positioned below the platform so as to capture an image of a portion of an underside of the object, a second scanner is positioned above the platform, and a third scanner is positioned above the platform and offset from a position of the second scanner. The scanners are positioned such that each scanner is outside of a field of view of other scanners. Scanners may include a camera, a light source, and a light-dampening element, and the device may include a control module configured to operate the scanners to individually scan the object.

Abstract: An image blur correction apparatus includes: a blur correction actuator that corrects image blur by moving a lens or by moving an image sensor; a shake detection unit that detects a postural change amount of the imaging apparatus; a storing unit that stores three or more postural change amounts detected at different times; an estimating unit that calculates an estimate of a postural change amount after a predetermined time period on the basis of the three or more postural change amounts and on the basis of an approximation based on a temporal change in the postural change amounts; a blur amount calculating unit that calculates an image blur amount on the basis of the estimate; and a driving control unit that calculates a movement amount of a lens or image sensor to be moved by the blur correction actuator on the basis of the image blur amount.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus, comprising: a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; an operation control unit configured to control execution of predetermined operation concerning photographing in accordance with a control signal received from the external device; and a detection unit configured to detect disconnection of communication with the external device, wherein the operation control unit is configured to control execution of the predetermined operation in accordance with a predetermined operation control setting when disconnection of the communication with the external device is detected during execution of the predetermined operation.

Abstract: A scanner device according to one aspect of this disclosure includes a document table, a light detecting portion, and a control portion. The light detecting portion detects light from an object placed on the document table. The control portion adjusts reading sensitivity for the object on the basis of a detection result of the light detecting portion.

Abstract: A camera phone and method for automatically adjusting the exposure of a camera in order to improve image of an object is previewed with a current exposure, data is extracted from frames of the previewed image and analyzed to determine illumination of the previewed object, and an exposure is adjusted according to the analyzed result.

Abstract: An auto focusing device for a camera includes a focus detecting section which detects a focused state of an image taking lens an AF mode setting section sets an AF mode of the camera to either a first AF mode or a second AF mode. An auxiliary light emitting section emits an auxiliary light to the object in association with the focus detecting operation by the focus detecting section if the object has a low luminance. An emission control section limits the number of times that the auxiliary light emitting section emits the auxiliary light to the object to one per a predetermined number of operations by the focus detecting section if the AF mode setting section has set the AF mode to the second AF mode.
