An image processing apparatus that is capable of converting an image file such that all annotation information recorded in the image file can be used. When converting a first-format image file including image data and annotation information on the image data to a second-format image file whose memory capacity of a predetermined area, where annotation information is recorded, is less than that of the first-format image file, the image processing apparatus, when the annotation information included in the first-format image file is not predetermined annotation information whose data amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, records the annotation information into the predetermined area in the second-format image file, and, when the annotation information included in the first-format image file is the predetermined annotation information, records link information on the annotation information in the predetermined area in the second-format image file.

A recording control apparatus that records data on a recording medium includes a position recording unit configured to perform control so that, upon completion of recording of data, a recording start position for next recording of data is recorded on the recording medium, an initialization unit configured to initialize the recording medium, and a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner that in a case where the initialization unit executes first initialization processing, the first initialization processing and clear processing for clearing the recording start position recorded on the recording medium are executed, and in a case where the initialization unit executes second initialization processing, the second initialization processing is executed without executing the clear processing.

Recording control apparatus and control method thereof

An image processing apparatus includes a combining unit configured to combine a plurality of images to generate a combined image, and a control unit configured to record the combined image generated by the combining unit on a recording medium, and configured to: if the combined image, generated by the combining unit, is generated by combining a plurality of captured images, and: if the combined image satisfies a predetermined condition, attach first type data to the recorded combined image, and if the combined image does not satisfy the predetermined condition, attach second type data to the recorded combined image. If the combined image, generated by the combining unit, is generated by combining a plurality of captured images recorded on the recording medium, the second type data is attached regardless of whether the predetermined condition is satisfied.

A lens control apparatus having a zoom lens includes first and second operation members that give a zoom instruction for moving the zoom lens, and a controller that changes a zoom stop position to a first pattern according to the operation of the first operation member, and changes the zoom stop position to a second pattern, which has an interval wider than that in the first pattern, according to the operation of the second operation member.

An image processing apparatus that is capable of using frame information associated with image data effectively for an image that is formed by trimming the image shown by the image data. The image processing apparatus processes image data with which frame information about a partial area in an image is associated. A trimming unit cuts out a selection area as a trimming image from an image represented by the image data. A determination unit determines whether frame information updated according to the area cut out by the trimming unit is added to the trimming image or not based on a determination of whether a specific frame effective area in the area shown by the frame information is included in the trimming image or not.

Image processing apparatus that is capable of cutting out specific area in image, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor

In order to enable a substitute representative image to be properly selected in a case where a representative image representing a plurality of series of related images was deleted, if a deletion or the like of the representative image is performed, whether or not the representative image is associated with an image file which is subsequently read out is discriminated on the basis of attribute information of each image. If it is associated as a result of the discrimination, a system control unit stores the attribute information of the current read-out image file and repeats a processing until an image number is equal to a minimum number or the image file which is not the unrelated image is detected. Even if the representative image is deleted, a representative image is enabled to be selected from the images associated with the deleted representative image.

When a connected recording medium has a wireless communication function, the save destination is changed to store received data in a save destination set for data transmitted from the recording medium by wireless communication. The save destination of data received from the connected recording medium having the wireless communication function can be set appropriately.

Information processing apparatus with different save destination for wireless communication and control method thereof

The present invention provides an image search apparatus including a control unit configured to, when a search key image is set, perform an obtaining process of obtaining at least either of feature amounts of the search key image, a generation process of generating a plurality of search conditions different from each other from the at least either of the feature amounts and the image capturing conditions, a search process of searching the plurality of images except the search key image for an image matching or similar to the search condition for each of the plurality of search conditions, the display control process of displaying a plurality of images that are images found for the plurality of search conditions, a selection process of selecting one image from the plurality of images, and a setting process of setting, as a new search key image, the image selected.

Image search apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An image capturing apparatus using a limited-rewriteable storage medium is disclosed. The image capturing apparatus writes generated image data in the limited-rewriteable storage medium at the time of shooting processing. On the other hand, an internal memory in the image capturing apparatus holds management information such as a FAT and directory entry. The apparatus writes the management information in the limited-rewriteable storage medium after the contents of the information are determined.
