A camera-mounted cellular phone () comprises a camera sensor () which picks up an image, a switch () which is configured to switch and set at least equal to or more than two operation modes each corresponding to an image-pickup distance from the camera sensor () to an object, and an LED () which emits light together with an image-pickup. At the time of image-pickup, an image-pickup operation is performed by controlling a focal point of the camera sensor () in accordance with an operation mode switched and set by the switch (), and the luminous brightness of the LED () is controlled in accordance with the operation mode switched and set.

Control of light emission at different brightnesses corresponding to operation mode

An imaging device comprising: a camera; and a control unit that encodes an image photographed by the camera to form an encoded image, wherein re-booting of the camera and the encoding by the control unit are carried out in parallel to each other.

Imaging device, imaging method and program

There is provided a mobile communication terminal in which at occurrence of instantaneous disconnection in the contact of a card, the disconnection is restored without displaying the alarm by use of a simple configuration and unpleasantness is not imposed to the user. The terminal includes an interruption detection moduleto detect an inserted state of a card and an SIM communication controllerto determine presence or absence of removal or replacement of the card in response to detection by the interruption detection module; the controllermakes the terminal continue a normal operation if it is determined that neither the removal nor the replacement is present.
