An imaging apparatus includes: an imager that captures a subject image to generate image-capturing data; a memory that temporarily stores the image-capturing data; an image processor that performs image processing on the image-capturing data to generate image data; an interface detachably connected to an external non-volatile recording medium; and a controller that records the image data in the recording medium. The controller saves the image-capturing data from the memory by writing, in the recording medium, the image-capturing data as an incomplete file being a file format defined to manage, in the recording medium, the image-capturing data as a saving state where the image processing is not completed on the image-capturing data. The controller reads the saved image-capturing data from the recording medium into the memory, causes the image processor to perform the image processing, and records obtained image data by the image processing into the recording medium.

A vehicle-mounted stereo camera device that achieves high-precision distance detection is provided. The provided vehicle-mounted stereo camera device includes a left camera and right camera disposed on a vehicle to cause a visual field of the left camera and a visual field of the right camera to overlap each other, a stereo processor that calculates a distance to a body outside the vehicle based on images captured by the left camera and right camera and on positions of the left camera and right camera on the vehicle, and sensors disposed near the left camera and right camera for detecting displacement amounts of the left camera and right camera. The stereo processor changes a cutout positions in the images captured by the left camera and right camera based on the displacement amounts.

Vehicle-mounted stereo camera device and method for correcting the same

A vehicle-mounted stereo camera device that achieves high-precision distance detection is provided. The provided vehicle-mounted stereo camera device includes a left camera and right camera disposed on a vehicle via a holder to cause visual fields to overlap each other, a stereo processor that calculates a distance to a body outside the vehicle based on images captured by the left camera and right camera and on positions on the vehicle, first and second geomagnetic sensors respectively disposed near the left camera and right camera, and a third geomagnetic sensor disposed on the holder. The stereo processor compares a geomagnetic value detected by the first or second geomagnetic sensor with a geomagnetic value detected by the third geomagnetic sensor, detects a displacement amount of the left camera or right camera, and changes a cutout position in the image captured by the left camera or right camera based on the displacement amount.

A vehicle-mounted stereo camera device that achieves high-precision distance detection is provided, including a left camera and a right camera disposed to cause visual fields to overlap each other, a first enclosure and a second enclosure that enclose the left camera and the right camera and have portions within the visual fields of the left camera and the right camera, respectively, and a stereo processor that calculates a distance to a body outside the vehicle based on images captured by the left camera and the right camera and on positions of the left camera and the right camera on the vehicle. The stereo processor detects displacement amounts of the left camera and the right camera based on amounts of change in positions of the first enclosure and the second enclosure within the visual fields of the left camera and the right camera, and changes a cutout position in the images captured by the left camera and the right camera.

An imaging apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive an instruction for starting a continuous shooting operation, a sound output unit configured to output a predetermined sound according to a shooting operation, and a controller configured to control output/non-output of the predetermined sound from the sound output unit according to a setting of sound output, and to control the continuous shooting operation. The setting of sound output includes an ON setting for outputting the predetermined sound from the sound output unit according to a start of the shooting operation and an OFF setting for non-outputting the predetermined sound from the sound output unit according to the start of the shooting operation. When receiving the instruction for starting the continuous shooting operation via the input unit with the setting of sound output being the OFF setting and the shooting interval in the continuous shooting operation being set to be variable, the controller performs a control so as to prevent the continuous shooting operation at the variable shooting interval from being performed in a state that the predetermined sound according to the shooting operation is not output.

It is intended to improve the water-dispersibility of a soybean 7S protein isolate, which is rich in soybean 7S globulin as compared with a conventional soybean protein isolate, to thereby provide a beverage thereof easy to drink or ameliorate the workability thereof in producing processed food products such as dough products and tablets. The improved soybean 7S protein isolate having high water-dispersibility can be obtained by treating a soybean 7S protein fraction with an aqueous ethanol solution and drying the same followed by, if necessary, grinding or controlling the grain size. Further, the viscosity of an aqueous dispersion of the above protein isolate can be lowered by acidifying the same.
