An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a power supply circuit, and a power storage device. A charging unit charges the power storage device using power from the power supply circuit. A control unit performs control such that in a first operation state of the image capturing apparatus, power is supplied from the power supply circuit to the image sensor without power being supplied from the power storage device to the image sensor. The control unit further performs control such that in a second operation state of the image capturing apparatus in which a maximum power consumption of the image sensor is higher than in the first operation state, power is supplied from the power supply circuit and the power storage device to the image sensor.

Image capturing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

This disclosure provides an image capturing apparatus including an image capturing unit, which comprises a determination unit for determining a subject and a shooting environment based on data obtained by the image capturing unit; an air cooling unit for rotating a fan for cooling the image capturing apparatus; and a control unit for controlling a fan rotation number per unit time of the air cooling unit, wherein the control unit sets a fan rotation number upper limit value of the air cooling means according to the result of determination by the determination unit.

Image capturing apparatus for controlling a fan rotation number based on a shooting environment and a determined subject

An electronic device includes a first voltage conversion unit, a second voltage conversion unit, and a control unit. The first voltage conversion unit generates a first voltage from power supplied from a first power supply or a second power supply. The second voltage conversion unit generates a second voltage, which is lower than the first voltage, from power supplied from the first power supply or the second power supply. The control unit controls a process of supplying power, supplied from the first power supply, to the first voltage conversion unit and a process of supplying power, supplied from the second power supply, to the second voltage conversion unit, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied.

Electronic device and control method

A power receiving apparatus includes a power receiving unit and a control unit. The power receiving unit receives a first power from a power supply apparatus via a connection unit. The control unit determines whether or not authentication information including identification information of the power supply apparatus is authentic, and determines whether or not the power supply apparatus has passed a compliance test based on the identification information. The power receiving unit is allowed to receive a second power greater than the first power, in a case where the authentication information is authentic and the power supply apparatus has passed the compliance test.

Power receiving apparatus and control method

Electronic equipment includes a first operating member having a detecting unit to detect touch and slide operations. Where a detecting unit touch detecting face is touched in the touch operation over a first and a second predetermined area, larger than the first predetermined area, or less, a first function is executed. Where the touch detecting face of the detecting unit is touched in the touch operation over more than the second predetermined area, a second function is executed. The touch detecting face is divided into a first, a second, and a third touch detecting face, in that order in a direction of the slide operation. A relation of 1.4&#x2264;W1/W2&#x2264;6.0 is satisfied. W1 represents a length of the touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation, and W2 represents a length of the second touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation.

Electronic equipment to perform functions based on different touches to a touch detecting face

An electronic device includes: a control unit configured to control so as to execute a predetermined function in accordance with a predetermined touch operation with respect to a touch operation member in a case where the touch operation member is in an enabled state, and not to execute the predetermined function in a case where the touch operation member is in a restricted state; and a switching unit configured to switch to the enabled state in accordance with a first touch operation with respect to the touch operation member in the restricted state, a touch continuation time of the first touch operation reaching a first time, and switch to the restricted state in accordance with a second touch operation with respect to the touch operation member in the enabled state, a touch continuation time of the second touch operation reaching a second time.

Electronic device, and control method for electronic device

An electronic device includes: a touch detector configured to detect a touch operation with respect to a touch operation surface; a registration unit configured to register, in accordance with a user operation, at least a function to be executed by a first type of a touch operation among types of touch operations with respect to the touch operation surface; and a control unit configured to control so as to execute an assigned function registered by the registration unit in accordance with the first type of a touch operation, and execute a predetermined function that cannot be changed by the registration unit in accordance with a second type of a touch operation that requires the touch operation surface to be touched over a larger touch area than a touch area satisfying a condition for the first type of a touch operation to be performed.

Electronic device, control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for executing function in accordance with touch operation

An electronic apparatus includes: a touch detector; and a control unit: (1) to execute a first function in response to movement by a predetermined distance in a first direction and to update the reference position when a detected touch position has moved in the first direction, (2) to execute a second function in response to movement by the predetermined distance in a second direction and to update the reference position when the detected touch position has moved in the second direction and the detected touch position after the movement is in the first region, and (3) not to execute the second function and not to update the reference position even if a movement distance reaches the predetermined distance when the detected touch position has moved in the second direction and the detected touch position after the movement is in the second region.

Electronic apparatus, control method of electronic apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An imaging apparatus includes: a finder; a grip portion on a side of a first direction relative to the finder; a touch operation member provided on a rear surface of the imaging apparatus on a side of the first direction relative to the finder, on a side of a second direction relative to the grip portion, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, and on a side of a third direction relative to a center of the imaging apparatus, the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction and being oriented from the center toward the finder; and a control unit configured to control the imaging apparatus so as to execute a first function in accordance with a slide operation in the first direction and to execute a second function in accordance with a slide operation in the second direction.
