An apparatus includes a control unit that executes exposure control by adjusting a shutter speed, an aperture value, and a sensitivity, and a setting unit that switches on/off a simulation function for adjusting an image quality of an image for live view display to match an image quality depending on an aperture opening for acquiring a still image for recording. If the simulation function is on, the control unit controls a difference amount between an aperture value for acquiring the image for live view display and an aperture value for acquiring the still image depending on an aperture value for acquiring the still image for recording such that the difference amount when the aperture value for the still image is a second value larger than a first value is larger than that when the aperture value for the still image is the first value.

A camera based on network communication is provided, including a camera body. A viewfinder module of the camera body is configured for receiving a light signal of a front lens. A sensing component converts the light signal received by the viewfinder module into an image electric signal, and simultaneously transmits the image electric signal to a control chip of the interface conversion circuit. The control chip of the interface circuit performs signal conversion on the received image electrical signal and then transmits the signal to the main control module. The signal after signal processing and image processing by the control circuit of the main control module is transmitted and displayed on a display module of the camera body, while transmitted to an external communication device through a communication module. This device can meet use requirements for wireless networks and the intelligent operating system in multiple environments of the camera.

Provided are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program capable of accurately and simply controlling a movement sensitivity of an index displayed on a finder monitor to a sensitivity desired by a user by using a touch panel installed on a rear monitor. The imaging apparatus (10) has a finder that includes the finder monitor (13), the touch panel (31) that receives a swipe operation for moving the index, and an image processing unit (24). The image processing unit (24) includes a sensitivity setting unit that sets a first sensitivity for coarsely moving the index by the swipe operation or a second sensitivity for finely moving the index by detecting a contact operation to the touch panel in the swipe operation, and a movement control unit that moves the index on the basis of the swipe operation on the touch panel and the sensitivity set by the sensitivity setting unit.

Methods and systems to implement a miniature long range imaging engine with auto-focus, auto-zoom, and auto-illumination are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting, by a microprocessor, a presence of an aim light pattern within the FOV; determining, by the microprocessor and in response to the detecting, a target distance of an object in the FOV based on a position of the aim light pattern in the FOV, the target distance being a distance from the imaging engine to the object; causing, by the microprocessor, a variable focus optical element to focus on the object based on the target distance; responsive to making a first determination, by the microprocessor, selecting, based on the target distance, one of a plurality of zoom operation modes; and responsive to making a second determination, by the microprocessor, selecting, based on the target distance, one of a plurality of illumination modes.

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) can be operatively connected to a camera using a flexible EVF extension system that allows the use of the EVF at a large number of positions relative to the camera. The flexible connection system can be used in various configurations that can mitigate the difficulty of using the EVF in different shooting scenarios. The EVF enables a photographer to operate a camera in a large number of shooting scenes to achieve various shooting effects with ease.

An imaging apparatus that can display information to be checked by a user at an easily viewed position on a display device of an observation unit is provided.

An imaging apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an imaging element, an observation unit including a display device and an observation optical system, and a processor configured to display a captured image based on an imaging signal read out from the imaging element and related information related to generation of the captured image, on the display device. The processor is configured to display the related information at a first display position and a second display position on the display device during imaging performed by the imaging element. The second display position is present on an inner side of the display device than the first display position. Types of the related information to be displayed at the second display position are set in advance before imaging. The processor is configured to switch between display and non-display of the related information at the second display position based on a specific operation of a user during imaging.
