Information processing apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium storing program therefor

An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing section for performing image capturing, an image capturing mode-determining section, and an installation place-identifying section. If an identified installation place of the apparatus and an installation place registered in advance match, the image capturing mode registered in advance in association with the identified installation place is determined as an image capturing mode to be used for image capturing. If image capturing modes are registered in advance in association with one installation place, one of the modes is selected and determined as an image capturing mode to be used for image capturing. Each mode is different from others in at least one of moving image/still image selection, an image capturing repetition period, a resolution, a frame rate, execution/non-execution of panning/tilting, and a driving range of panning/tilting.

Image capturing apparatus that determines image capturing mode according to installation place, method of controlling same, and storage medium

An electronic apparatus includes an internal speaker, a communication unit configured to perform a wireless communication with a wearable external speaker, and a control unit. The control unit establishes wireless connection with the external speaker through the communication unit and the control unit continuously performs a control operation for preventing an output of an audio signal from the internal speaker in a case where the wireless connection with the external speaker is disconnected by a first factor in a state where the control unit performs the control operation. The control unit cancels performance of the control operation in a case where the wireless connection with the external speaker is disconnected by a second factor different from the first factor in a state where the control unit performs the control operation for preventing the output of the audio signal from the internal speaker.

Electronic apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

An image capturing apparatus with a mechanical shutter, an output unit that outputs a sound, and a setting unit that sets whether the output unit outputs sound includes an image capturing mode where image capturing occurs without the mechanical shutter and an image capturing mode where image capturing is automatically switched between using the mechanical shutter and not using the mechanical shutter, where during image capturing without the mechanical shutter the output unit outputs sound based on the setting made by the setting unit, and where during image capturing without the mechanical shutter when image capturing switches between using and not using the mechanical shutter, the output unit outputs sound regardless of the setting made by the setting unit.

Image capturing apparatus, control method thereof, and recording medium thereof

An electronic device includes an internal speaker, a connection unit configured to connect an external speaker, an operation unit configured to receive a user operation, and a control unit, wherein, in a case where the external speaker is connected via the connection unit in a state in which the internal speaker is controlled not to output an electronic sound, the control unit controls the operation unit to receive an instruction to change a setting for switching whether to output an electronic sound, and wherein, in a case where the external speaker is not connected via the connection unit in a state in which the internal speaker is controlled not to output an electronic sound, the control unit controls the operation unit not to receive an instruction to change a setting for switching whether to output an electronic sound.

Electronic device and control method and storage medium

An image display apparatus includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an input image to be displayed on a display unit and a display control unit configured to reduce display luminance of the display unit in a case where a display image obtained by enlarging the input image is displayed on the display unit or in a case where a display image obtained by enhancing a contour of an object in the input image is displayed on the display unit.

Image display apparatus method and storage medium for modifying display luminance

Provided is a display device that illuminates a printed material taking into consideration the characteristics of the printed material. The display device obtains an image for illuminating the printed material, and information pertaining to the optical characteristics, such as light reflectance or transmission, of the printed material. Then, on the basis of metadata pertaining to a luminance or color of the obtained image and the obtained information, the display device controls a light source illuminating the printed material. Through this, the display device enhances the dynamic range or the color gamut of the printed material.

Display device, image processing apparatus, control methods thereof, and display system

An image display apparatus includes a data acquisition unit configured to acquire pieces of LF image data in which a corresponding focus position being an in-focus position in a depth direction is changeable after image capturing, and pieces of added data each of which is associated with a position in the depth direction, a group identification unit configured to identify a group to which at least one of the pieces of added data belongs, an image generation unit configured to generate, from pieces of image data associated with one or more pieces of added data belonging to an identified group, each of a plurality of refocused images with a corresponding focus position set to a position associated with one or more pieces of added data belonging to the group, and a display control unit configured to display the plurality of refocused images on a screen.

Electronic apparatus and display control method

The present invention provides an image processing apparatus which records, on a recording medium, development parameters corresponding to a plurality of first Raw image frames, of a plurality of Raw image frames, which satisfy a predetermined condition, and a development parameter corresponding to a last Raw image frame, of the plurality of Raw image frames, which corresponds to a last image frame of a Raw moving image data, together with the Raw moving image data.

Image processing apparatus and method of controlling the same

A communication device includes a first communication unit that complies with an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) standard and a second communication unit that complies with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard. The communication device selects one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit as a communication unit that uses a DDC (Display Data Channel) line.

Communication device and conversion adapter

A display apparatus includes a conversion unit for converting first video data having a first frame rate to second video data having a second frame rate which is 'n' times as high as the first frame rate ('n' being an integer of two or larger), and a display unit for displaying the second video data. When the first video data is video data of two successive frame images having different brightnesses, the conversion unit performs a first frame rate converting process for converting the first video data to the second video data by outputting a frame image group made of two successive frame images in the first video data &#x201c;n&#x201d; times in a row at the second frame rate. Consequently, the frame rate converting process can be performed without causing a deterioration of a visual effect such as an HDR effect, and a viewing environment comfortable for the user can be realized.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

A display control apparatus includes a communication control unit configured to control a first communication for receiving a video signal based on image data from a printing apparatus using a first communication protocol for receiving a video signal, and a second communication for sending image data to the printing apparatus using a second communication protocol for sending data to be used for printing. The communication control unit performs control to communicate with the printing apparatus using the second communication protocol in response to a storage medium being connected to the display control apparatus, and performs control to communicate with the printing apparatus using the first communication protocol in response to receiving a notification indicating that a storage medium is connected to the printing apparatus.
