An imaging element incorporates a reading portion that reads out captured image data at a first frame rate, a storage portion that stores the image data, a processing portion that processes the image data, and an output portion that outputs the processed image data at a second frame rate lower than the first frame rate. The reading portion reads out the image data of each of a plurality of frames in parallel. The storage portion stores, in parallel, each image data read out in parallel by the reading portion. The processing portion performs generation processing of generating output image data of one frame using the image data of each of the plurality of frames stored in the storage portion.

A surveillance camera includes a housing containing a camera module, an optical reflection component, and a first driving component. The camera module has a fixed position and is disposed opposite to a reflective surface of the optical reflection component, which is disposed in a transparent portion of the housing. The reflective surface is positioned at an angle with respect to the input axis of the camera module to reflect light received through the transparent housing portion to the camera module. The camera module captures an image by detecting the light reflected to it by the reflective surface. The first driving component drives the optical reflection component to rotate the reflective surface around the input axis of the camera module, such that the camera module captures images carried by light from different directions through the transparent portion of the housing without rotation of the camera module itself.

A vibration device includes a light-transmissive body, and a vibrator to vibrate the light-transmissive body at a vibration acceleration of equal to or more than about 1.5×10.sup.5 m/s.sup.2 and equal to or less than about 8.0×10.sup.5 m/s.sup.2.

An electronic module includes a three-dimensional wiring board including a cavity portion in which a bottom surface and four wall surfaces are formed, a plurality of electrodes being provided on the bottom surface, and a plurality of electronic components mounted on the plurality of electrodes and including a plurality of chip components and an image pickup module configured to pick up an image in an opening section direction of the cavity portion. A wall surface among the four wall surfaces that corresponds to a direction in which the plurality of chip components are arrayed is an inclined surface having an inclination with respect to the bottom surface.

Provided is an imaging apparatus capable of continuously imaging a natural video even though brightness is changed. In an imaging apparatus in which an exposure condition is set based on a characteristic of a transmittance control element, a first exposure condition range is calculated based on photometry of the imaging apparatus. Determination is made whether or not the calculated first exposure condition range is included in a second exposure condition range where a control range acquired by the transmittance control element is applicable. In a case where the calculated first exposure condition range is not included in the second exposure condition range, the exposure condition of the imaging apparatus is changed such that the first exposure condition range is included in the second exposure condition range.

The present disclosure provides a lighting apparatus and method of using the same. The lighting apparatus has a base having a bottom and at least one sidewall, the base having a hollow center, the hollow center being dimensioned for a camera lens, a ribbon of light emitting didoes (LEDs) affixed to the base, wherein the ribbon of LEDs are parallel the sidewall and configured for color temperature between approximately two thousand seven hundred degrees and six thousand degrees, a lens cover coupled to the sidewall of the base, wherein opaque lens is coupled to the sidewall modularly such that a no tooling is required.

This camera actuator comprises: an optical path bending member; a lens unit disposed at a subsequent stage of the optical path bending member; a first actuator that is disposed near the optical path bending member and displaces the optical path bending member; and a second actuator and a third actuator that are disposed near the lens unit so as to be apart from each other in a first direction, and that respectively displace the lens unit in a second direction and a third direction that are orthogonal to the first direction and orthogonal to each other. As a result, the present invention provides a camera actuator capable of improving the degree of freedom of design around the optical path bending member.
