There is provided an image capturing control apparatus. An image capturing control unit controls image capturing by an image capturing unit based on setting values of a plurality of setting items. A selection unit selects a setting item from among the plurality of setting items. A changing unit changes the setting value of the setting item selected by the selection unit to a setting value that is selected in accordance with a first operation from among a plurality of setting values that correspond to the selected setting item and a specific setting value to which one of the plurality of setting values that is automatically determined in accordance with predetermined processing is applied.

A line-of-sight analysis method, performed by a computer, includes: identifying, when a selection event with respect to a first object out of a plurality of objects is detected, a second object different from the first object, based on a detection status of line-of-sight relative to the objects in a most recent time period of the selection event; and outputting information indicating the identified second object.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing line-of-sight analysis program, line-of-sight analysis method, and line-of-sight analysis apparatus

An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit, a sound input unit configured to input sound, a sound production unit configured produce notification sound, a connection unit configured to connect to an external device, an output unit configured to output the sound input from the sound input unit and a live view image captured by the image capturing unit to the external device via the connection unit, and a control unit configured to control the sound production unit so as not to produce the notification sound when the sound and the live view image are output by the output unit.

An image pickup system capable of, during flash photography through automatic radiating direction control, quickly starting a next shooting operation when the automatic radiating direction control is suspended. A flash built in or removably mounted on a digital camera has a light-emitting unit that emits light and a drive control unit that changes a radiating direction of light from the light-emitting unit. A preparatory operation for shooting and a shooting operation by the digital camera are disabled while the radiating direction of the light from the light-emitting unit is being changed by the drive control unit. When an instruction to suspend changing the radiating direction of the light is issued, a preparatory operation for shooting and a shooting operation by the digital camera, which have been disabled, are enabled, and the drive control unit is controlled to return the light-emitting unit to an initial position prior to the change.

A system control unit deactivates a self-timer imaging setting in a case where an imaging mode of panning imaging is set, an attitude detection unit has detected a movement of a main body corresponding to the panning imaging, or a panning imaging setting is ON.

An arousal-level determining apparatus includes a generating unit, a calculating unit, an identifying unit, and a determining unit. The generating unit generates heartbeat-interval variation data, which indicates changes in heartbeat interval, on the basis of heartbeat signals indicating subject's heartbeats. The calculating unit applies a band-pass filter, which allows passage of a certain range of frequencies, to each frequency band in the heartbeat-interval variation data while changing the frequency band, and calculates spectral density with respect to each frequency band applied with the band-pass filter. The identifying unit identifies a feature point corresponding to a spectral density peak in the calculated spectral densities in the frequency bands. The determining unit determines subject's arousal level on the basis of the identified feature point.

A consciousness level determination apparatus calculates a heart rate interval from a heart rate signal of a subject and calculates a spectral density of each frequency by performing a frequency analysis on the calculated heart rate interval. The apparatus extracts, at each predetermined timing, a combination of a maximum density that is a maximum, a maximum frequency that is a frequency corresponding to the maximum density, and a magnitude difference relation that represents a difference between the maximum density and spectrum densities which correspond to frequencies adjoined to the maximum frequency. The apparatus compares the combination with a combination extracted at a previous timing. The apparatus determines a consciousness level on the basis of a determination reference that is determined by using a result of the comparison.

A wakefulness level determination device includes a processor; and a memory. The processor executes: calculating a first feature value from a heartbeat signal of a subject; estimating, from the first feature value calculated at the calculating, a feature value of the subject when not fully awake on the basis of a correlation between a feature value of a heartbeat signal of a person fully waking and a feature value of a heartbeat signal of a person not fully waking; setting, as an index of a wakefulness level, a range from the first feature value calculated at the calculating to the feature value estimated at the estimating; calculating a second feature value from a heartbeat signal of the subject; and determining a wakefulness level of the subject by comparing the second feature value with the index of the wakefulness level that is set at the setting.
