A digital camera includes a first CPUand a second CPU. The first CPUdetermines an operation of a release buttonwhich instructs to photograph an object, and a photographing request is issued when the release buttonis operated. On the other hand, the second CPUphotographs the object by driving a CCD imagerwhen the photographing request is issued, and stores image data of the object photographed into an SDRAMin a compressed state. The second CPUfurther records into a memory cardcompressed image data stored in the SDRAMpredetermined amount by predetermined amount, and determines whether or not the photographing request is issued every time that a recording of the predetermined amount is completed.

Digital camera and method of image processing

A method for preparing an aldehyde or ketone by oxidizing a primary or secondary alcohol in the presence of a nitroxyl radical compound and a co-oxidant in an organic solvent, which process is characterized in using an organic N-bromoamide compound or a combination of N-chlorosuccinimide and a compound having bromide ion as the co-oxidant.

Oxidation method of primary or secondary alcohol

A digital camera settable in a sleep mode including an ASIC for conducting data communication with a host computer connected to a USB connector, a microcomputer, a pull-up resistor connected to one of a pair of data lines, and a power source circuit. The camera further includes a power source input terminal connectable to a power source output terminal on the host computer, and an on/off switch for turning on/off the power to be supplied to the pull-up resistor. The microcomputer holds the on/off switch off when the camera is set in the sleep mode, while cancelling the sleep mode and turning on the on/off switch upon detecting the connection of the power source output terminal to the power source input terminal. This achieves a greater reduction in power consumption than conventionally, while rendering the camera adapted for a hot plug function even in the sleep mode.
