A treatment system includes: a treatment instrument for cutting living tissue in a liquid; and a controller for performing control, prior to cutting the living tissue with the treatment instrument, to suppress reduced visibility of a treatment area due to turbidity in the liquid caused by the cutting of the living tissue based on preparation information regarding cutting preparation for the treatment instrument.

Treatment system, control device, and method of operating the treatment system

An observation apparatus includes an imaging unit, a driving mechanism, an operation circuit and a control circuit. The imaging unit generates image data by imaging a target object. The driving mechanism moves the imaging unit to change an imaging position of the target object. The operation circuit calculates information on imaging conditions of the imaging unit based on an auxiliary information calculation image, which is image data of auxiliary information calculation light. The control circuit controls the imaging performed by the imaging unit, using the information on the imaging conditions.

Observation apparatus, measurement system and observation method

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a storage, a communication unit, an image processor and a communication controller. The imaging unit generates first image data. The communication unit performs data communications between a first external apparatus and a second external apparatus. The image processor generates second image data based on the first image data. The communication controller controls communications via the communication unit. The communications includes transmission of the second image data to the first external apparatus in response to a first request. The communications includes transmission of image data related to the first image data to the second external apparatus in accordance with a second request.

Imaging apparatus, imaging system, control method for imaging apparatus, and recording medium storing control program used for controlling imaging apparatus

An image pickup display apparatus includes: a communication section that is capable of receiving a picked-up image from an image pickup unit; a display section that displays the picked-up image received by the communication section; an operation section for controlling image pickup by the image pickup unit; a state determination section that determines a state of a case in which the communication section, the display section and the operation section are housed; and a control section that receives a result of determination performed by the state determination section, to change a user interface provided by the display section and the operation section based on whether or not the case is arranged on another object.

Image pickup display apparatus, image pickup display method, and recording medium

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit that generates image data; a feature information generation unit that generates feature information smaller in data amount than the image data, the feature information indicating features of a subject image included in an image corresponding to the image data; an imaging-side first and second communication units; a communication status determination unit that determines the status of communication between an external communication device and the imaging-side first communication unit; and an imaging-side communication control unit that transmits the feature information to the communication device via the imaging-side second communication unit when the status of communication between the communication device and the imaging-side first communication unit is not favorable.

Imaging apparatus, communication device, imaging method, and information notification method

An image pickup system is an image pickup system in which an image pickup section and a confirmation section that displays a picked-up image from the image pickup section are separable, the image pickup system including: a first motion determination section that determines a motion of the image pickup section; a second motion determination section that determines a motion of the confirmation section; and a control section that controls at least one of the image pickup section and the confirmation section by obtaining a relationship between the motion of the image pickup section and the motion of the confirmation section based on determination results of the first and second motion determination sections.

Image pickup system and image pickup method

An imaging device includes an imaging unit that receives light coming from a subject and thus generates electronic image data; a display unit that displays an image corresponding to the image data; an angle-of-view setting unit that an angle of view to be changed for the image displayed by the display unit according to a first signal input from the outside; and a control unit that starts control of change to a predetermined angle of view set by the angle-of-view setting unit according to a second signal different from the first signal.

Imaging device, display device, control method, and method for controlling area change

In an electronic device which is capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of information which may be obtained by an imaging operation, and in a first display format, a system controller makes a generating unit which generates code information generate a single piece of code information including a plurality of pieces of information and makes a rear-side display unit display a picture of the generated code information. In a second display format, the generating unit which generates code information is made to generate a plurality of pieces of code information which individually include a plurality of pieces of information and the rear-side display unit is made to display pictures of the generated code information sequentially one by one.

Electronic device, control method therefor and recording medium

Image data obtained by photographing an object using a camera is stored in a storage medium that can be attached to and detached from the camera. The camera includes a device program storage unit and an information writing unit. A device program that can be executed by an information processing device, which is different to the camera, is stored in the device program storage unit. The information writing unit is constituted to be capable of writing the device program to the storage medium attached to the camera. While writing the device program to the storage medium, the information writing unit writes the device program in a format enabling the information processing device to read and execute the device program automatically when the storage medium is attached to the information processing device.

Electronic camera, storage medium, and data transfer method

A display device or a camera includes an organic electroluminescent element emitting multiple color lights. A driving condition setting circuit sets data corresponding to driving conditions for driving the organic electroluminescent element. A drive circuit drives the organic electroluminescent element on the basis of the driving conditions set by the driving condition setting circuit.

Display device for camera using organic EL element

Organic electroluminescence (EL) devices displaying the information of a camera are formed directly on a surface of a screen mat arranged near an image formation surface of a finder optical system. A CPU for the camera drives the organic EL device, under a forward or a reverse bias, as required, to enable light of a green or a red color to be emitted.

Intrafinder display apparatus, for a camera, utilizing organic electroluminescence devices

This invention provides a display illuminating apparatus for use in a camera, which is operable without generating great noise and hence permits at least the AF and AE operations of the camera to be performed without the influence of noise, and which enables the operator of the camera to confirm the present operation. Information on photography by the camera is displayed on an LCD lit by an EL that is driven by an EL driving circuit. Further, a remote control switch incorporated in a switch input section of the camera sets the camera in a state in which it can receive a remote control signal. Where the camera is set in a remote control mode by the remote control switch, the operation of the EL driving circuit is stopped by an instruction from a CPU, thereby inhibiting lighting of the EL.
