A control unit driving a motor in a first direction based on output of a first signal, whereby a cam member charges a biasing member, and thereafter the control unit controls driving of the motor so as to stop the cam member in the state where the biasing member is charged, and the control unit drives the motor in a second direction that is the opposite direction to the first direction, whereby the cam member is driven by biasing force of the biasing member and driving force of the motor, an engaging portion follows through a first zone, and thereafter the cam member is driven by the driving force of the motor without using the biasing force of the biasing member, and the engaging portion follows through the second zone.

A battery device includes a connection unit to which an electronic apparatus is connected, a calculation unit that calculates a remaining battery level of a battery of the battery device based on a full charge capacity of a battery of the electronic apparatus, and a display unit that displays information indicating a result of calculation made by the calculation unit.

An electronic device includes a communication unit that communicates with a battery, a storage unit that stores a first identification information of the battery, and a determination unit that determines whether the communication unit is capable of performing a predetermined communication with the battery, in a case where a second identification information of the battery received from the battery is matched with the first identification information stored in the storage unit.

An image capture system includes an image capture device and an integrated sensor-optical component accessory. The integrated sensor-optical component accessory includes at least one of a microphone, a processor, a motion sensor, or an audio sensor. The image capture device configured to control operation of the integrated sensor-optical component accessory with the image capture device when the integrated sensor-optical component accessory is releasably attached to the image capturing device. The image capture device may include a user interface configurable for operation with the integrated sensor-optical component accessory and the image capture device. The integrated sensor-optical component accessory may draw power from the image capture device. The integrated sensor-optical component accessory may include a power supply. The image capture system may include another integrated sensor-optical component accessory including at least one of a microphone, a processor, a motion sensor, or an audio sensor which is controllable by the image capture device.

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device and a processor. The processor is configured to determine brightness of an image when the imaging apparatus is operating in a second operation mode. The processor is configured to increase imaging sensitivity of the imaging device when the processor determines that the brightness is darker than or equal to a first brightness. The processor is configured to cause the imaging apparatus to operate in a first operation mode when the processor determines that the brightness is darker than or equal to a second brightness darker than the first brightness after the processor increases the imaging sensitivity.

Provided are an imaging apparatus capable of ensuring favorable visibility of display in a finder from when power is applied, a finder display control method of the imaging apparatus, and a finder display control program of the imaging apparatus. A viewfinder (30), which superimposes a display of a finder LCD (36) on an optical image of a subject observed through an observation optical system (32), includes a variable ND filter (40) that adjusts the light amount of the optical image of the subject. While power of the digital camera is turned off, information about the time is acquired, and the target transmittance of the variable ND filter (40) is updated on the basis of the information about the transmittance determined for each time zone. In a case where the target transmittance is updated, the variable ND filter (40) is driven to change the transmittance of the variable ND filter (40) to the target transmittance.

An electronic device includes an open-close detector configured to detect an open-close state indicating whether an optical path open-close device of a film camera is open or closed, a displacement detector configured to detect a displacement of a movable portion of the film camera interlocked with a movement of an operation portion of the film camera, and control circuitry. In response to a detection result of the displacement detector, the control circuitry selects a measurement mode for measuring an open time during which the optical path open-close device is open, from a plurality of operation modes of the electronic device. In the measurement mode, the control circuitry measures the open time based on the open-close state detected by the open-close detector.
