A package of a heat-bent polarizing sheet for producing an injection-molded polarizing lens and an injection-molded polarizing lens that uses said sheet is provided. The heat-bent polarizing sheet is cumulatively packaged by a non-adhesive isolation film so as to withstand moisture and then stored or transported and can be used in injection molding without performing preliminary drying as a pretreatment of injection molding and without substantial protective-film removal work.

Package of heat-bent polarizing sheet and injection-molded polarizing lens

Provided is a functional polyamide sheet in which air bubbles are not generated or are reduced in a polarizing and/or photochromic functional sheet when the polarizing and/or photochromic functional sheet are/is manufactured using a sheet or film formed by a polyamide resin as a protective layer, and a functional polyamide lens using the functional polyamide sheet. Provided are a polyamide functional sheet obtained by disposing a protective layer formed by a transparent plastic sheet or film on at least one surface of a functional layer, which is a polyvinyl alcohol-based polarizing film layer, a photochromic layer, or a combination of these layers, with an adhesive layer being interposed therebetween, in which the protective layer is a sheet or film formed by a polyamide resin, and an oxygen transmission rate at 23&#xb0; C. and 85% RH is 50 cm/m&#xb7;24 hr&#xb7;bar or more, and a functional polyamide lens using the polyamide functional sheet.

Functional sheet

A camera comprises an imaging unit for imaging an object image; a first storage unit for storing plural still pictures and plural motion pictures, as images, and information other than the images; a display unit for displaying one or plural images, or an image output from the imaging unit; a search source specification unit for specifying a search source image; a search condition specification unit for specifying a search condition; and a search unit for searching an image similar to the search source image specified by the search source specification unit and in accordance with the search condition specified by the search condition specification unit.

Camera

An image control apparatus which controls a search screen for searching a related image, comprises: an attribute display section setting a reference image and causing to display a specific condition in each of the attributes of the reference image; a related image display section causing to display the related image which has been searched by an image search section according to the specific attribute condition selected from among the displayed specific conditions; a search screen display section causing to display the search screen including at least the reference image, the specific condition in each of the attributes of the reference image, and the searched related image; and a change screen display section causing to display a change screen for changing the specific attribute condition to be used for the search to a condition except the specific condition in each of the attributes related to the reference image.

Image control apparatus, image control method, and recording medium

A display control device having a pointing device adapted to perform an operation associated with image capture or playback includes, mode setting switches and/or components for setting at least one of operation modes of recording, playback and communication, components for obtaining identification information to identify the user of the display control device, an operating member display for displaying operating members in positions corresponding to the pointing device, storage for storing data concerning a plurality of operating members having different functions and placement positions, an operating member setting component for extracting data concerning operating members on the basis of the identification information obtained and setting the data to display the operating members, and an operation input controller for associating the functions of the operating members displayed on the operating member display with the input position and input operation of the pointing device.

Display control device and method

When a camera is set in a portable state responsive to a photographing state detection device and a portable state detection device, film is rewound from a take-up spool chamber into a film cartridge and the take-up spool chamber is compressed in the direction of film feed to reduce the size of the camera body in the film feed direction. When the camera is set in a photographing state, the camera body is extended and the film is taken up from the film cartridge into the take-up spool chamber.

Camera having photographing state for taking photographs and compact

A camera uses a film cartridge, which has an information recording disk which is rotatable integrally with a cartridge spool shaft and represents information inherent to a film, and feeds the film leading end portion from the cartridge by using a driver. A data detector reads the film information from the disk of the cartridge loaded in the camera. A nonvolatile memory stores the film information read from the disk. When the cartridge is loaded into the camera, the camera feeds the film leading end portion from the cartridge, reads the film information, and writes the read information in the memory. Another camera uses a film having two perforations per frame. The moving amount of the film fed by a motor controller is detected by a film driven roller rotation detector. A perforation on the film is detected by the perforation detector. Prior to at least the driving operation of the motor controller, information indicating the film feeding operation is stored in an EEPROM. The overall operations of the camera are controlled by a CPU. When a power supply is interrupted during the film feeding operation, the CPU determines the position of the next frame to be photographed on the film based on the outputs from the EEPROM, the film driven roller rotation detector, and the perforation detector.
