Provided is an imaging device that includes a rear display and an electronic viewfinder and is excellent in operability to a touch panel when an electronic viewfinder is used. When a user performs a touch manipulation on a touch panel installed in a rear display in order to set a focus area, an effective detection area for detecting a touch position is different between when the rear display is used and when the electronic viewfinder is used. When the rear display is used, the effective detection area is set to coincide with the entire display screen, and when the electronic viewfinder is used, the effective detection area is set to be reduced to an area of a part of the display screen of the rear display.

An electronic apparatus includes: a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic apparatus to: receive an instruction to perform image capturing preparation processing; control to display a captured image which is captured by an image pickup element but not to display a first item to indicate setting information related to image capturing and a second item to indicate information related to a result of the image capturing preparation processing, on a display, in a case of a first state including a state of not receiving the instruction; and control to display, 1) the second item at a position corresponding to the result of the image capturing preparation processing and 2) the first item, along with the captured image, on the display, in a case where the instruction is received.

An image processing device includes a processor and a memory connected to or built in the processor. The processor recognizes a subject included in a subject group based on image data obtained by imaging the subject group with an imaging apparatus, displays an image indicated by the image data on a display, and displays a plurality of subject regions, which are included in the image, correspond to a plurality of subjects included in the subject group, and satisfy a predetermined condition, in the image in an aspect that is capable of being identified as one object based on a result of recognizing the subject.

An imaging support device includes a processor, and a memory connected to or built in the processor, in which the processor acquires frequency information indicating a frequency of a feature of a subject included in a captured image obtained by imaging with an imaging apparatus, the feature being classified into a category based on the feature, and performs support processing of supporting the imaging with the imaging apparatus based on the frequency information.

A video camera system comprises an elongate camera housing (102) extending along a longitudinal axis (104); a camera lens (106) disposed axially along the longitudinal axis (104) at a distal end of the camera housing, such that the camera lens faces away from the elongate camera housing; a mount (108) including a receptacle (110) to hold the camera housing (102) secured against a vehicular windshield (302) of a motor vehicle, the mount including a first region having a first opening (112); and visually perceptible light indicators (114) positioned on the elongate camera housing (102) at a location such that the visually perceptible light indicators are viewable through the first opening (112) of the mount (108), the visually perceptible light indicators (114) providing an indication of an operational status of the camera system viewable through the vehicular windshield (302) from a location outside of the motor vehicle.

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.

An electronic apparatus includes a first operation member, a second operation member different from the first operation member, a specific operation unit, and a control unit. Where the electronic apparatus is in a first operation mode and in response to the first operation member being operated, the control unit performs control to execute a specific function different from a switching function of switching a lock setting state of an operation on the specific operation unit. Where the electronic apparatus is in a second operation mode different from the first operation mode and in response to the first operation member being operated, the control unit performs control to execute the switching function. The first operation member is an operation member located on a surface lower in height in a direction perpendicular to an operation surface than a surface on which the second operation member is located.

A remote control device for generating setting signals for a lens setting motor of a motion picture camera comprises a base part and an operating element rotatable relative to the base part for setting control commands for the lens setting motor; a position encoder for detecting a respective rotational position of the operating element and generating corresponding position signals; an evaluation and control device that is configured to determine setting signals for the lens setting motor in dependence on the position signals in accordance with a mapping rule; and an output device for transmitting the setting signals to the motion picture camera. In this respect, the mapping rule corresponds to at least one mathematical functional relationship and the remote control device has an input device via which the mathematical functional relationship can be configured by user input. A marking ring for a remote control device has a memory in which a readable coding is stored.

The image processing device includes an imaging unit that images a subject and a distance map acquisition unit that acquires information regarding a distance distribution of the subject as map data. The distance map acquisition unit acquires map data with an image deviation amount or a defocused amount related to a captured image or distance map data in conformity with a TOF scheme or an imaging plane phase difference detection scheme of using a pupil division type image sensor. An image processing unit generates data of a texture image in which a low-frequency component of a captured image is inhibited and combines the data of the texture image and the map data acquired by the distance map acquisition unit to generate image data in which a distance distribution of a subject is expressed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an apparatus with a camera. A shutter is positioned horizontally in front of the lens of the camera. The shutter is configured to move in front of a lens of the camera and is further configured to move orthogonally to the horizontal axis so as to at least partially obscure the lens of first camera in a closed shutter position. The apparatus further includes a motor positioned horizontally behind the front of the lens of the camera. The motor is configured to move the shutter orthogonally to the horizontal axis between the closed shutter position and an open shutter position.
