An electronic device according to the present invention includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a control unit configured to perform control so as to display a setting screen on a display in response to a specific operation on the electronic device, wherein under specific circumstances, the control unit performs control so as to switch setting values that are settable on the setting screen, in response to the specific operation.

Electronic device and control method thereof

An electronic device controls so as to perform display on a display that is visible through the proximity portion; regardless of whether proximity to the proximity portion is detected or not, place the electronic device in a predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a first period without an operation on the operation member; and in a case where proximity to the proximity portion is not detected, place the electronic device in the predetermined state to reduce power consumption of the electronic device in response to elapse of a second period without an operation on the operation member and without proximity to the proximity portion. The second period is shorter than the first period.

An electronic device includes an interface unit that receives power from an external device, a charging unit that charges a battery with power received from the external device via the interface unit, and a control unit that stops operations of units excluding the interface unit and the charging unit, when the charging unit charges the battery with the power received from the external device via the interface unit and a predetermined function is selected.

Electronic device and control method

An imaging apparatus comprises a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; and a controller configured to control shooting, wherein if (a) an accepted shooting instruction is a shooting start request issued by remote control from the external device via the communication unit, (b) a self-timer shooting function, which starts counting a timer time in response to the shooting instruction and starts shooting at an end of the counting, is enabled, and (c) the timer time is set to a first time longer than a predetermined time, the controller changes the timer time to a second time shorter than the predetermined time.

Imaging apparatus, control method for imaging apparatus, and storage medium

An electronic apparatus includes a display unit arranged on a first surface, a first operation member arranged on a second surface, a second operation member arranged on a third surface, and a memory and at least one processor or circuit. The third surface is on a right side of the electronic apparatus when the first and second surfaces are viewed as front and top sides, respectively, of the electronic apparatus. The memory and the at least one processor or circuit function as a control unit configured to perform control to change a setting value to be selected from among a plurality of candidate setting values displayed on the display unit to a smaller setting value according to an operation on the first operation member and change the setting value to be selected to a larger setting value according to an operation on the second operation member.

Electronic apparatus and method for controlling the same

An imaging control apparatus includes a first operation unit and a sub control unit configured to perform control such that, in a case of performing a series of image capturing operations for performing a plurality of image capturing operations including a first image capturing operation and a second image capturing operation to be performed after the first image capturing operation, in a third period between a first period for performing the first image capturing operation and a second period for performing the second image capturing operation, a display is not performed on a display unit and a notification is not provided to a user by a notification unit different from the display unit, and in response to an operation performed by the first operation unit in the third period, the notification is performed by the notification unit different from the display unit without performing the display on the display unit.

Imaging control apparatus

An electronic device includes a communication control unit configured to perform an enumeration process, and a charging unit configured to charge a battery unit with power supplied from an external device. If a voltage of the battery unit is higher than a predetermined voltage, the communication control unit allows to perform the enumeration process with power supplied from the battery unit.

Electronic device

An image output system connecting an image input apparatus and an image output apparatus by a close proximity wireless communication, and outputting by the image output apparatus of image data transmitted from the image input apparatus by the wireless communication. The image input apparatus detects a connection condition of the wireless communication, generates a script for defining an output processing according to at least a user operation, and transmits the script to the image output apparatus when the disconnection is detected after image data transmission, and the connection is detected again after disconnection detection. The image output apparatus detects the connection condition of the wireless communication, suspend output processing of the image data when the disconnection is detected during the image data output processing, and controls the image data output processing according to the script received from the image input apparatus when the connection is detected again.

Image output system and control method thereof, image input apparatus and control method thereof, and image output apparatus and control method thereof

An apparatus includes an image switching unit configured to switch an image displayed on a display unit such that if an image switching button is operated, the image displayed on the display unit is switched to a next image. The apparatus also includes a jump menu display unit configured such that if the image switching button is operated to continuously switch the displayed image, the jump menu display unit displays an image jump menu for jumping from the image currently displayed on the display unit to a desired image.

Image pickup apparatus, display control apparatus, and display control method

A method of recording information on a recording medium. The method includes determining whether an amount of information recorded in a user data area is equal to or greater than a predetermined value when a finalizing process is performed on the recording medium. The user data area is an area of the recording medium and is used for information recording. The method further includes padding an area subsequent to an area of the user data area in which the information is recorded, by recording dummy information, if the amount of the information is less than the predetermined value, and recording management information for managing the dummy information as a file, in the user data area, for dummy information that has been recorded halfway, if the padding is interrupted.

Information recording method that records management information for managing dummy information as a file in a user data area

The method and apparatus can register defective areas in a recording medium not having a dedicated sparing area. A data recording area and a sparing area are not preliminarily divided. When a defective area is found, data is transferred to another area in the recording area, and the defective area is registered as being in a recorded state in a table for managing the recorded state in each of the recording areas.
