An image apparatus includes: an image sensor configured to successively generate image data by continuously imaging an object scene; a memory configured to successively store the image data generated by the image sensor; a touch panel configured to output a first signal for commanding shooting preparation by a touch operation of a user and a second signal for commanding shooting by a release operation of releasing the touch operation; and a processor configured to successively store the image data successively generated by the image sensor in the memory according to a first storage format when the first signal is input from the touch panel and store the image data successively generated by the image sensor in the memory according to a second storage format when the second signal is input from the touch panel.

Image apparatus, object detection method and computer readable recording medium

An image effect processing support apparatus includes: an image effect processing section that performs a specific image effect processing on an image; a confirmation region determination section that determines an effect of the specific image effect processing for each part of the image, and based on a result of the determination, determines and sets a confirmation region for confirming the effect of the image effect processing; and a display control section that displays an effect indication that shows the effect of the image effect processing in the confirmation region on a display section, to thereby enable an effect of a filter effect processing to be easily confirmed.

Image effect processing support apparatus, image effect processing support method, and medium for recording image effect processing support program

An imaging device includes: an imaging unit imaging an object and generating image data of the object; a display unit displaying an image corresponding to the image data; a display controller controlling the display unit to display an expression guide image in which at least a part of expression of a face in the object has been changed; an expression determination unit determining similarity between the expressions in the image and in the expression guide image; an imaging controller controlling the imaging unit to continuously image the object until the expression determination unit determines that the expressions in the image and in the expression guide image are matched, wherein the display controller controls the display unit to display another expression guide image at a time the expression determination unit determines that the expressions in the image in the expression guide image are matched.

Imaging device, imaging method, and program

An imaging apparatus include an imaging processing unit, a dial operation unit, a boundary setting unit, and a control unit. The imaging processing unit acquires image data having a predetermined image effect. The dial operation unit receives a dial operation to set at least one boundary line in the image data. The boundary setting unit sets the boundary line in the image data in response to the dial operation. The control unit controls the imaging processing unit so that image data having different image effects are obtained in the respective partial regions of the image data that are divided by the boundary line set by the boundary setting unit.

Imaging apparatus, control method of imaging apparatus, and non-transitory storage medium storing control program of imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus includes: a first communication control unit that receives action instruction information from an external communication device; and a pseudo image generating unit that generates a pseudo image simulatively expressing an action by a user of the imaging apparatus according to an action instruction based on the action instruction information. The action instruction information includes angle change instruction information and shooting instruction information. The pseudo image generating unit generates, based on a position information and a first orientation information respectively acquired upon receipt of the shooting instruction information, as well as on the shooting instruction information, a first pseudo image, and generates, based on the angle change instruction information, a second pseudo image.

Imaging apparatus, imaging system, imaging method, and computer-readable recording medium

A display device includes an imaging unit configured to capture an image of an object and to generate image data of the object, a display unit configured to display the image corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging unit, and a display controller configured to cause the display unit to display a sample image in which at least a line of sight of the object has been changed when the imaging unit captures the image of the object. An imaging direction of the imaging unit and a display direction of the display unit are matched. The sample image is an object image in which the line of sight has changed from front to a direction other than the front.

Display device, display method, and computer-readable recording medium

An imaging apparatus includes: a face detector that detects a face of a subject from images captured by an imaging unit; a display controller that causes a display unit to display a guide image for prompting the subject to change a direction of the face; an angle calculation unit that calculates an angle of turn of the face of the subject from a reference position of the direction of the face when the guide image is displayed, based on pieces of image data before and after a change in the direction of the face; a distance calculation unit that calculates a distance between the imaging apparatus and the face based on the calculated angle; and an image processing unit that performs image processing on at least one of the pieces of image data, according to the change in the direction of the face, based on the angle and the distance.
