A display apparatus performs shooting in a linked manner with an image pickup apparatus attachable to the display apparatus, to thereby prevent deterioration in operability. The display apparatus has a display unit, and a control unit. The display unit displays an operating section used for receiving therethrough an operation of controlling an operation of the image pickup apparatus. The control unit changes a process corresponding to the operation received through the operating section, according to an attaching position of the image pickup apparatus.

Display apparatus for displaying operating section for receiving operation, image pickup apparatus, image pickup system, control method of display apparatus, and storage medium

A heat dissipation module suitable for a system camera formed by a plurality of modules. A heat dissipation module has a first engagement structure which is provided on a first surface and with which a first mating module is removably engaged and a second engagement structure is provided on a second surface parallel to the first surface and with which a second mating module is removably engaged. A first heat reception portion is configured to receive heat from the first mating module. The heat dissipation module also has a first interface electrically connected to the first mating module, and a second interface electrically connected to the first interface and electrically connected to the second mating module. A fan unit is provided between the first surface and the second surface, for dissipating heat received by the first heat reception portion to the outside.

Heat dissipation module and system camera including heat dissipation module

A display apparatus including a display unit, adapted to playback a sequence of images, comprises: a detection configured to detect an attitude of the display apparatus or the display unit; a control unit configured to control the display unit to pause playback of the sequence of images, if the detected attitude of the display apparatus is not substantially aligned with the orientation of an image to be displayed.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

A controller controls a photographing angle of view based on the face size detected by the face size calculation unit and the face inclination detected by the face inclination detection unit, wherein the controller controls the photographing angle of view so that a size with respect to the photographing angle of view of the subject image recognized by the face recognition unit becomes a predetermined size.

Imaging apparatus for performing automatic zoom control in consideration of face inclination of a subject image

An electronic apparatus is provided that includes a fuel cell device, an image pickup device, a temperature sensor, and a system controller. The electronic apparatus is mobile and may be held in a user's hand while being operated. The fuel cell device controls generation of electrical power. The image pickup device is position relative to the fuel cell device and converts an image into an image pickup signal. The temperature sensor obtains a temperature from the image pickup device. The system controller configured to control operation of the fuel cell device based on the temperature from the image pickup device.

Electronic apparatus and fuel cell control method for electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a fuel cell device, an image pickup device, a lens unit, a temperature sensor, and a system controller. The electronic apparatus is mobile and held in a user's hand while being operated. The fuel cell device controls electrical power generation. The image pickup device is positioned relative to the fuel cell device and converts an image into an image pickup signal. The lens unit provides the image to the image pickup device. The temperature sensor obtains a temperature from the lens unit. The system controller controls operation of the fuel cell device based on the temperature. A secondary battery stores electrical power generated by the fuel cell device. When the temperature exceeds a reference temperature and a remaining power level in the secondary battery is equal to a reference power level, the system controller halts a moving supply of fuel to the fuel cell device.

In an image recording apparatus and method, when photographing images and recording the photographed images in a recording medium, by arranging so as to perform a plurality of different kinds of retrieval operations for the images recorded in the recording medium in accordance with respective operational modes of the apparatus, it is possible to promptly retrieve unnecessary recorded data during a photographing operation of recording moving images in a randomly accessible recording medium.

Image recording apparatus and method for selective prohibition of erasure during recording

An electronic apparatus according to this invention has a display unit for displaying an index, an operation unit used for moving the index displayed by the display unit, and an adjustment unit for adjusting the operation unit, so that the moving direction of the index displayed by the display unit matches a moving direction that an operator intended. This invention can provide an effect of matching the moving direction that the operator intended with the actual moving direction of the index.

Electronic apparatus and pointing device for imaging

An image input apparatus includes a camera unit for converting image information from an optical system into an electrical signal and outputting the electrical signal, a pan head having a control mechanism for at least two axes, a sensor for detecting the attitude of the image input apparatus, and a controller for controlling the control mechanism of the pan head on the basis of the attitude of the image input apparatus detected by the sensor.
