Camera with touchscreen

A camera which can perform operations by touching a screen of an image display and can give different instructions according to different pressures applied on the touching. A digital camera has an LCD for displaying the captured image or a reproduced image. A touch panel for determining the position of a touched portion and the pressure applied to the touched portion is provided over the LCD. The camera gives a variety of instructions with respect to a camera operating system according to pressure applied to the touched portion on the touch panel. For example, the touch panel instructs an image-recording preparation in a case that the pressure is no more than a predetermined pressure, and instructs image-recording in a case that the pressure is more than the predetermined pressure. In short, adjusting a focus and an exposure to the principal subject by touching the principal subject displayed on the LCD, and touching the principal subject harder can record an image of the principal subject.

Image signal recording/reproduction apparatus, method employed therein, and image signal recording apparatus

A dynamic image recording button and a still image recording button are provided at the main unit of a movie camera. A magneto-optical recording medium is loaded in a slot. If the dynamic image recording button or the still image recording button is operated during a reproduction operation, the reproduction operation is interrupted in a state in which the mechanical drive (rotation) of the magneto-optical recording medium is sustained. At this point, a dynamic image signal or a still image signal obtained through a photographing operation performed at the camera unit is temporarily recorded in a buffer memory, and is written in the magneto-optical recording medium when a write in the magneto-optical recording medium becomes enabled. Instructions to record dynamic images and to record still images can be issued to the movie camera through a touch-panel provided on the screen of a liquid crystal display unit. Even when operation cannot be performed through the touch-panel, the instructions can be issued through the dynamic image recording button or the still image recording button.

Information Recording System, Information Recording Device, Information Recording Method, and Information Collecting Program

An accident judgment device (105) judges whether or not an accident has occurred based on a detection signal of an impact sensor (104). Upon judging that an accident has occurred, an image saving device (106) extracts an image within several seconds before and after occurrence of the accident from a ring buffer (103) to save the same in a save memory (107). Upon judging that the accident has occurred, an image-record requesting device (108) transmits an image-recording request to a drive recorder (10) of target vehicles existing in the vicinity of the accident spot. Upon receiving the image-recording request, an image saving device (106) of the drive recorder (10) on the target vehicle extracts the image within several seconds before and after occurrence of the accident from the ring buffer (103) to save the same into the save memory (107).

Imaging device, printing system, printing device, image printing method, and storage medium having stored thereon program controlling the image printing method

In the case of printing while a digital camera is directly connected to a printer, it has been impossible to determine to what extent image blurring affects a print image. In an imaging device, a detection section (17A) detects blurring. An image blurring compensation section (15A) compensates image blurring. A compensation amount detection section (16) detects an image blurring compensation amount. A calculation section (19A) calculates a residual blurring amount by subtracting the image blurring compensation amount from an image blurring amount. An image recording section (12) records an image signal, as a shot image, together with the residual blurring amount. A print size specification section (91) specifies a print size of the shot image and stores a tolerance (β) of the residual blurring amount with respect to the print size. And, a determination section (80) determines whether or not the residual blurring amount is equal to or greater than the tolerance with respect to a predetermined print size, and issues a warning to a photographer or the like in the case where the residual blurring amount is greater than the tolerance.
