An imaging device includes an imaging unit, a display unit, and a control unit. The control unit can: make the display unit successively display an entire image taken by the imaging unit as a live-view image, set a cutting region in an imaging range of the imaging unit, displace a position of the cutting region to track movement of a specific subject, fix the position of the cutting region before a first operation, displace the position of the cutting region to track movement of the specific subject after the first operation, and display an image at a region other than the cutting region in an entire image that is successively displayed on the display unit as the live-view image, at least before the first operation, so that the other region image is less prominently displayed in a predetermined display mode than a partial image corresponding to the cutting region.

An imaging device includes the following. A temporary storage cyclically stores images for a predetermined duration or number imaged in succession. A record controller records temporarily stored images for a first duration or a first number of images before detection of the capturing instruction, and records images for a second duration or a second number of images after detection of the capturing instruction. A setter preliminarily determines a total duration of the first duration and the second duration or a total number of the first number and the second number and determines a ratio of the first duration to the second duration or a ratio of the first number to the second number in response to one type of operation of an operational input unit, while retaining the preliminarily determined total duration or the preliminarily determined total number.

An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing section, an image capturing control section, an image clipping section, an HDR composing section and a panoramic image composing section. The image capturing control section causes the image capturing section to repeatedly capture an image of different luminance to provide plural images of different luminance. The image clipping section clips respective data of substantially overlapping image regions of the plural images of different luminance. The HDR composing section composes the image regions each clipped by the image clipping section to generate data of plural composite images having a wider dynamic range than the image captured by the image capturing section. The panoramic image composing section joins data of the plural composite images generated by the HDR composing section to generate an image whose range is wider than that of the image captured by the image capturing section.

The present invention can easily acquire images having a uniform aspect ratio. In an imaging device of the invention, a control section detects the movement amount and the movement direction of the imaging device based on output from an acceleration sensor. Then, when the movement direction of the imaging device in its initial movement started at the beginning of imaging is substantially linear and a substantially horizontal or vertical direction, the control section calculates a reference movement amount by which a composite image having a predetermined aspect ratio can be generated, based on the movement amount of the imaging device, and controls the display section to display imaging area information (guide) indicating the final imaging area having the predetermined aspect ratio based on the reference movement amount.

Water leakage of a steam oven provided on an aircraft for heating ingredients is to be prevented. Two solenoid valvesandare inserted in series in a water supply circuit of a steam oven. A power switchsupplies a 15 V direct current to the solenoid valvesand. A controllertransmits a command to driving circuitsandof the solenoid valves according to a signal of a temperature sensorin the oven. An output of a clock generatoris counted by a frequency counter and a time in which the valves are opened is counted. When count of a valve opening time becomes longer than a predetermined value, the power switchof the solenoid valves is disconnected to prevent water leakage.
