The imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes: a first operation unit having a plurality of buttons corresponding to setting items of imaging conditions, and capable of adjusting the setting items according to operation; and a second operation unit capable of performing a rotating operation and a depressing operation and setting conditions related to the setting items according to operation.

Imaging apparatus with two operation interfaces for setting imaging conditions

An object of the present invention is to realize an imaging device and recording control system in which the usability thereof can be improved dramatically. In an imaging device configured to output imaging data that is obtained as a result of imaging of an object, and a recording control system, the imaging device comprises a control means for recognizing a controlled state of an external recording device when a communication is enabled with the recording device through a communication means conforming to a predetermined transmission method and an input means for allowing the recording device to execute an application needed for a recording operation obtained by controlling the recording device, and the recording device records the imaging data obtained through the communication means when the application is executed by means of the input means.

Imaging device and recording control system

The present invention is to provide an imaging apparatus superior in operability and visibility at the time of setting and adjusting functions thereof. The apparatus includes GUI screen image generating means for generating a GUI screen image for operating the imaging apparatus to display the GUI screen image on image display means; operating means for operating the GUI screen image displayed on the image display means; controlling means for controlling the imaging apparatus in accordance with the operation of the GUI screen image by the operating means; storing means for storing hierarchy type main menu information; menu generating means; and menu editing means capable of editing the unique menu information generated by the menu generating means. The controlling means controls the GUI screen image generating means when detecting a predetermined operation by the operating means, and the GUI screen image generating means generates the GUI screen image in which the index information to operate the menu editing means is included in the unique menu information, in accordance with the control by the controlling means, and displays the GUI screen image on the image display means.

Imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus generates a GUI screen image for operating the imaging apparatus. A controller controls the generation of the GUI screen image upon detecting a predetermined operation.

An imaging device and recording control system in which the usability is improved dramatically. The imaging device is configured to output imaging data that is obtained as a result of imaging of an object, and a recording control system. The imaging device includes a control unit that recognizes a controlled state of an external recording device when a communication is enabled with the recording device through a communication channel that conforms to a predetermined transmission method. An input unit allows the recording device to execute an application needed for a recording operation obtained by controlling the recording device. The recording device records the imaging data obtained through the communication channel when the application is executed.
