An information apparatus for communicating with a portable information terminal includes a processor including hardware. The processor determines state information regarding a state of the information apparatus when the power state is switched, by the power switch, from the on state to the office state. The processor also determines whether the manually set parameter has been changed before and after the power state is switched from the on state to the off state, based on the use history information of a manually set parameter in the information apparatus. Finally, the information apparatus transmits, to the portable information terminal, the state information indicating that the set parameter in the information apparatus has been changed when the processor determines that the set parameter has been changed while keeping the processor energized after the power state is switched from the on state to the off state.

Information apparatus, control method, and computer readable recording medium determining state information of the information apparatus across a power switch and transmitting such state information to an external, portable information terminal

A display device comprises a display, a display control circuit for causing operation screens, for selection of setting items to be used from among a plurality of provided setting items, to be displayed on the display, and causing switching from the operation screen to another operation screen to be displayed, and an operation member for operating in order to switch from the operation screen to another operation screen, wherein the display control circuit causes display of change in display appearance of the setting items, when there is a switch from the operation screen to another operation screen.

Display device and display method

A display control apparatus includes a display control unit that displays, on a screen, a setting item list for setting a condition of an appliance, and further displays, for a designated item designated in the setting item list, an option row for selecting a specific condition in the designated item, and a selection operation guide for selecting an option from options arranged in the option row. The display control unit separates the option row and the selection operation guide, displays the option row and the selection operation guide by superposing them on the setting item list, and further displays an option selected in accordance with a touch operation performed on the selection operation guide so as to be identifiable in the option row.

Display control apparatus

An image pickup device includes a display unit that includes a plurality of display areas, a display control unit that controls the display unit so that an image displayed in one of the plurality of display areas is changed from a live view image to an image obtained by an image pickup unit in accordance with a shooting instruction when a first reception unit has received the shooting instruction and so that an image displayed in a display area specified by a display position changing instruction is changed to a live view image when a second reception unit has received the display position changing instruction, and an image process unit that synthesizes image data of a plurality of images being displayed in the plurality of display areas and generates image data of a combined image in which the plurality of images are laid out as displayed in the display unit.

Image pickup device, image processing method, and recording medium

An imaging device includes an imaging unit that images a subject so as to obtain first image data, an image processing unit that performs image processing on the first image data so as to obtain second image data, a first storage unit in which image data including one or both of the first image data and the second image data is stored, an image analysis unit that analyzes a feature of the image data stored in the first storage unit, a scenario generation unit that generates scenario data on the basis of an analysis result of the image analysis unit, a scenario changing unit that performs setting so as to change the scenario data, and an image collage processing unit that combines the plural pieces of image data stored in the first storage unit on the basis of the scenario data so as to generate the image collage data.

Imaging device, image processing method, and recording medium

An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit, an image processing unit, a database, a display unit, a coordinate acquisition unit, a shooting parameter decision unit and a control unit. The image capturing unit acquires image data. The image processing unit performs image processing.
