An imaging apparatus includes an image capturing unit, a shutter button with which to give an image capturing instruction, a specific operation member, a reception unit configured to receive a line-of-sight input that is an input of a position based on a line of sight of a user, and a control unit configured to perform control so that, in a case where a predetermined operation on the specific operation member is not performed while a specific operation on the shutter button is being performed, a specified position is not moved based on the line-of-sight input in a case where a line-of-sight position of the line-of-sight input moves, and in a case where the predetermined operation on the specific operation member is performed while the specific operation on the shutter button is being performed, the specified position is moved based on the line-of-sight position of the line-of-sight input.

A digital camera is provided with a vertically long camera body having an approximately rectangular solid shape. An LCD panel provided in a rear surface of the camera body is arranged such that longitudinal directions of the display screen and the camera body correspond to each other. The digital camera is operated through a touch panel provided in a lower portion of the display screen. In a taking mode, an image is displayed in a small size on an upper portion of the display screen. In reproducing, the camera body is rotated sideways by 90 degree. In a reproducing mode, display posture of the image is also rotated by 90 degree, and the image is displayed in a large size on the entire display screen.

A delivery monitoring system comprises a portable camera positioned on a delivery person; a camera activation application executed by a mobile electronic device to control a video-generating operation of the portable camera; and a special-purpose processor that outputs a data instruction to an electronic locking device to unlock an entrance to a location for delivering an item by the delivery person only when the portable camera is recording video.

An improved camera device is a 360-degree image capturing camera with a motion sensor that is able to take panoramic view pictures. The main body is circular shaped and may be able to rotate on a central axis to align with the direction of anything that activates the motion sensor for optimal images or video.

SMA actuators and related methods are described. One embodiment of an actuator includes a base; a plurality of buckle arms; and at least a first shape memory alloy wire coupled with a pair of buckle arms of the plurality of buckle arms. Another embodiment of an actuator includes a base and at least one bimorph actuator including a shape memory alloy material. The bimorph actuator attached to the base.

The present technology relates to a controller and a control method capable of providing an imaging system which achieves cost reduction. A control unit controls a first imaging direction of a first imaging unit and a second imaging direction of a second imaging unit as a direction different from the first imaging direction in accordance with a situation of an object associated with a first image captured by the first imaging unit or a second image captured by the second imaging unit. For example, the present technology is applicable to a lecture capture system.
