A communication apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus stores a file obtained from a first external apparatus, and stores first information related to at least one of a creation date and time and an update date and time of the file, and based on a format of the obtained file, determines whether the file is a first file to which the first information can be attached or a second file to which the first information cannot be attached. Where the obtained file is the first file, it is stored into the storage unit and the first information of the first file is stored thereinto, and where the obtained file is the second file, second information related to a recording date and time when the second file has been recorded is obtained and the first information is rewritten into the second information when storing the second file.

Communication apparatus, image capture apparatus and control method

An imaging device is capable of performing automatic imaging and automatic authentication registration of a subject. The imaging device includes a drive unit that rotationally moves a lens barrel in a panning direction and a tilting direction, and can change an imaging direction under the control of the drive unit. The imaging device can perform automatic authentication registration of searching for a subject detected in captured image data and authenticating and storing the subject. A first control unit of the imaging device performs determination of whether or not a condition for performing the automatic authentication registration is satisfied and determination of whether or not a condition for performing the automatic imaging is satisfied. The first control unit executes an automatic authentication registration determination process and an automatic imaging determination process while performing search used for the automatic imaging, and determines a timing of performing the automatic authentication registration on the basis of a determination result.

Imaging device, control method therefor, and recording medium

A shooting control apparatus obtains image data from an imaging unit that obtains the image data based on light from an imaging optical system and then detects an object and an orientation of the detected object from the image data. The apparatus controls a shooting direction of the imaging unit by controlling rotational driving of the imaging unit so that a position of the object in a field of view of the imaging unit changes based on the orientation of the object. The apparatus controls the shooting direction, in a case where the object faces in a first direction, so that a distance between an edge of the field of view on a first direction side and the object to be greater than a distance therebetween in a case where the object faces forward.

Shooting control apparatus, image capture apparatus, and shooting control method

A display apparatus performs predetermined image processing on at least one image data item among the plurality of image data items, does not perform the predetermined image processing on at least another one image data item among the plurality of image data items, and to cause a display unit to display the plurality of image data items, if (A) it is determined, on the basis of meta-information associated with the plurality of image data items, that the plurality of image data items are image data items that have been output from a single image output apparatus, or if (B) it is determined that a display mode is set in which a plurality of image data items are to be displayed, the plurality of image data items including a first image data item and a second image data item generated by duplicating the first image data item.

Display apparatus and display control method for displaying images

A display control apparatus, includes: at least one processor and/or at least one circuit to perform the operations of the following units: an input unit configured to acquire an input image which is an image captured by an imaging apparatus; a generation unit configured to generate at least one zoom image which is an image generated by magnifying a part of the regions of the input image; an acquisition unit configured to acquire focus information of the imaging apparatus; and a determination unit configured to determine which one of (1) the input image, (2) the zoom image and (3) both of the input image and the zoom image are to be displayed as a display image on a display unit on the basis of the focus information.

Display control apparatus, imaging apparatus, control method for display apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A shooting control apparatus obtains image data from an imaging unit that obtains the image data based on light from an imaging optical system, and detects an object from the image data. The apparatus controls rotational driving of the imaging unit and a zoom mechanism included in the imaging optical system based on a result of detection of the object by determining a target zoom position and a shooting direction of the imaging unit. The apparatus determines the target zoom position and the shooting direction so that the object falls within a partial region of a field of view of the imaging unit including a center of the field of view, based on a size and position of the object.

Display apparatus and display control method for simultaneously displaying a plurality of images

An image display apparatus according to the present invention includes: a display unit configured to display an image on a screen; a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on input image data, an amount of light of a predetermined color emitted from the screen in a case where an image based on the input image data is displayed on the screen; and a notification unit configured to perform predetermined notification, based on the amount of light calculated by the calculation unit.

Image display apparatus and method for controlling the same

A control apparatus, according to the present invention, for controlling a display apparatus having a liquid crystal panel and a backlight which is configured from a plurality of divided regions and which emits light, with one or more divided regions as one light-emitting unit, based on decided emission brightness of each light-emitting unit, comprises a control unit that sets, upon displaying a second image formed by enlarging a first image, a size of the light-emitting unit larger in comparison to a case of displaying the first image according to an enlargement ratio of the second image relative to the first image.

Control apparatus and control method thereof

An image processing apparatus replays moving image data and includes a control unit configured to carry out control that replays the moving image data; and a generating unit configured to generate images in the case of different depths of field based on the moving image data depending on a replay speed of the moving image data.

Image processing apparatus, control method for same, and program

An image processing apparatus generates an image data in which a focus state of a captured image is specified by calculation processing. An operation inputting unit is used for operating focus information for specifying the focus state of an image, and an image generating unit generates an image data by acquiring focus information. When image focus information is changed by specification made by a user, the image generating unit outputs the image data generated by using focus information prior to specification to a confirmation screen generating unit upon deletion operation of the image data. The confirmation screen generation unit generates a display data of a deletion confirmation screen for prompting a user to confirm deletion upon deletion operation of an image file. The display data of a deletion confirmation screen includes the image data generated by using focus information differing from the changed focus state.
