The invention provides an image capturing apparatus which comprises an image capturing unit, a selecting unit which selects a dynamic range, a developing unit which performs a developing process on RAW image data obtained by the image capturing unit; and a control unit which performs control such that if a first dynamic range is selected, image data obtained by performing a developing process for the first dynamic range on the RAW image data by the developing unit is recorded as the RAW image file together with the RAW image data, and if a second dynamic range is selected, image data obtained by performing a developing process for the second dynamic range on the RAW image data by the developing unit is recorded as the RAW image file together with the RAW image data.

Image capturing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An image processing apparatus that communicates with an external device and combines a sub image received from the external device with a main image includes a determination unit that determines a wipe shape of the sub image, and a notification unit that notifies the external device of the determined wipe shape.

Combining images from different devices according to a determined wipe shape

An image processing apparatus comprising at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a moving image; and a generation unit configured to generate a thumbnail image from the moving image, wherein in a case where the moving image is a high dynamic range (HDR) moving image, the generation unit generates the thumbnail image of which gamma is equal to a gamma of the moving image and bit depth is lower than a bit depth of the moving image.

Image processing apparatus, imaging apparatus, image processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An electronic apparatus includes: a connecting unit (connector) that connects with an external apparatus; a setting unit sets a connection mode to any of a plurality of connection modes, including a first connection mode in which an image having a gradation resolution which is not higher than a first gradation resolution is outputted, and a second connection mode in which an image having a gradation resolution which is higher than the first gradation resolution is outputted; and a control unit controls so that in a case where the connection is in the second connection mode and an instruction to switch a first screen including a captured image to a second screen not including a captured image is received, the set connection mode is switched from the second connection mode to the first connection mode, and the second screen is outputted from the connecting unit.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes: a converting unit that converts a first type of image into a converted image; a connecting unit that connects with an external apparatus; a setting unit that sets a connection mode; and a control unit that controls so that in a case where the connection is in a first connection mode, the first type of image is outputted from the connecting unit without converting the first type of image by the converting unit, and in a case where the connection is in a second connection mode, the first type of image is converted by the converting unit, and is outputted from the connecting unit, wherein source of the image to be outputted from the connecting unit can be switched from a second type of image to the first type of image, while maintaining the connection in the second connection mode.

A communication apparatus which controls an external apparatus, comprises a communication unit configured to control communication with the external apparatus, a control unit configured to control the external apparatus by causing the communication unit to transmit, to the external apparatus, operation information for causing the external apparatus to execute a predetermined function, and a management unit configured to, when a function controllable on the external apparatus is added, manage additional function information that renders the added function usable also by second application software that is different from first application software, the first application software causing the control unit to function so as to control the external apparatus.

Communication apparatus, external apparatus, and control method therefor

An external apparatus which is controlled by a communication apparatus, comprises a control unit configured to execute functions corresponding to operation information received from the communication apparatus, a changing unit configured to change the operation information that are assigned in every function, wherein the operation information is changed by the changing unit each time connection to the communication apparatus is established, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the changed operation information that are assigned in every function to the communication apparatus together with decryption information for the changed operation information that is encrypted.

External apparatus, communication apparatus, and control method therefor

A control method for a communication apparatus includes communicating with an external device using a communication application including a first program for receiving a user operation to communicate with the communication apparatus, and a second program for communicating with the communication apparatus, notifying the external device of an operation available for the external device among operations for controlling the communication apparatus in the communication between the communication apparatus and the external device, and determining the type of the second program used by the external device. In the notifying, a different operation to be notified is provided according to the type of the second program.
