A camera shutter for exposing or shielding a camera including a supporting portion, a winding assembly, a movable cover, and a magnet is provided. The winding assembly is capable of driving the magnet to move the movable cover along a first direction while a first current passes through the winding assembly to form a first magnetic field, and to make the shielding side of the movable cover shield the camera. The winding assembly is also capable of driving the magnet to move the movable cover along a second direction while a second current passes through the winding assembly to form a second magnetic field, and to make the shielding side of the movable cover away from the camera to expose the camera.

In a case where a user sets an imaging condition setting rule based on a setting menu (M), a setting item of the imaging condition setting rule is selected from among a plurality of setting items. In a case where the setting item of the imaging condition setting rule is selected, a selection candidate list of an imaging condition setting rule having selection candidates ALL FIRST-WIN, ALL LATE-WIN, and MIXED is displayed. In a case where ALL FIRST-WIN is selected, a first-win processing unit is executed in all combinations of two setting items. In a case where ALL LATE-WIN is selected, a late-win processing unit is executed in all combinations of two setting items. Then, in a case where MIXED is selected, a mixed state is brought in which a combination, in which the first-win processing unit is executed, and a combination, in which the late-win processing unit is executed, are mixed.

This invention provides an improved method and hardware/firmware to obtain photographs of any subject ranging from insects to landscapes. It allows either manual or fully automatic collection of images in small focal distance steps by externally rotating the focus ring for any camera and any lens. The acquired photos may then be processed using commercial software to obtain a final highly detailed, entirely in-focus image. The manual method employs a very fine adjustment screw interfaced with a tab extending out from the focus ring. The automated method employs a controller and stepper motor. It drives a lead screw configured to interface with a tab extending out from the focus ring or rotates solid gears, or a motor-pully gear interfaced with a gear band secured to the focus ring. The combination of electronic and mechanical advantages leads to the possibility of focus ring adjustments smaller than 0.001 degrees.

The present technology relates an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program which realize acquirement of an image corresponding to a user's action. The information processing apparatus includes an image capture control unit. The image capture control unit controls an image capture parameter of an image capture unit mounted on a user on the basis of a recognition result of the user's action. The present technology is applicable to, for example, various wearable terminals such as an eyeglass type, a head band type, a pendant type, a ring type, a contact lens type, a shoulder mounting type, and a head mount display, various portable terminals such as a smartphone, a camera platform, a control server, and the like.
