In a state in which the external connection apparatus is attached to the image capture apparatus, the two wireless communication sections are opposed to each other in a direction orthogonal to a direction of attaching the apparatuses to each other.

An accessory apparatus attached to an interchangeable lens attached to a camera body can switch between a first accessory power mode and a second accessory power mode consuming less power than the first accessory power mode. The power state of the accessory apparatus is set based on information regarding the power mode of the camera body and the power mode of the interchangeable lens.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a digital image capturing device (DICD) is disclosed that includes a device body with a printed circuit board (PCB), and an integrated sensor-lens assembly (ISLA) that is configured for releasable connection to the device body. The PCB defines a plurality of openings that extend therethrough and includes a plurality of connector pins that are fixedly positioned within the openings The ISLA includes at least one connective surface that is configured for contact with the connector pins to establish electrical communication between the device body and the ISLA.

A particular apparatus includes a first electronic component, a second electronic component, and a connecting element that is detachably connectable to the first electronic component and to the second electronic component. The first electronic component is connectable via the connecting element to the second electronic component to form a wearable item. The first electronic component includes a camera, the second electronic component includes an energy storage component, and the first electronic component is configured to receive power from the second electronic component via the connecting element.

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.

A camera assembly is provided therein that comprises a camera subsystem configured to provide camera surveillance, and at least one full solar wafer without being cut, configured to function as power source for the camera subsystem. The camera subsystem comprises a lens, PCB electronics including a WiFi chip and/or a RF chip, and a battery that are enclosed in one or multiple modules.

An interface system for a helmet mounting system comprises a helmet strap assembly. A helmet shroud includes a shroud interface assembly configured to mate with a first hot shoe of a helmet mount assembly. The shroud interface assembly comprises a high speed data interface configured to be electrically coupled to the first hot shoe when the shroud interface assembly is coupled with the first hot shoe. A battery mount assembly comprises a second hot shoe portion which is configured to mate with a hot shoe receiver of a battery pack. The second hot shoe portion comprises a high speed data interface which is configured to be electrically coupled to high speed contacts on the hot shoe receiver of the battery pack when the second hot shoe portion is coupled with the hot shoe receiver of a battery pack.

Disclosed embodiments include a selfie camera system for capturing selfie content and sharing captured content on a social media and/or a video streaming platform. In various embodiments, selfie camera makes capturing higher quality selfie content more efficient by providing a preview of the selfie content before and after capture. One or more aspects of previews may be modified to simulate content displayed on a social media and/or video streaming platform. The selfie camera may be easily attached to any surface using one or more mounting mechanisms to allow the selfie camera for function as a personal, private photographer than can capture any scene from a variety of perspectives using a variety of capture sequences.

A security device is configured to be secured to a structure to monitor an area of interest surrounding the structure. Monitoring of the area of interest is done covertly to ensure that the security device remains undetectable. The security device includes a head that is operably and removably coupled to a base. The head includes a camera having a lens that is configured to capture video data within the area of interest. The captured (or recorded) video data is transmitted to a storage device within the base for storage. For added security and/or functionally, a user can wirelessly control and monitor the security device via a user interface device from anywhere in the world.

An LED stroboscope device synchronized with a camera, which comprises: a power supply unit; a stroboscope unit which receives power from the power supply unit so as to charge the power for generating a flashing light, and then, outputs a flashing light generation signal for electric discharge of the charged power; a continuous light unit which receives the power from the power supply unit so as to output a continuous light generation signal for generating continuous light; a light emitting unit which individually receives the flashing light generation signal and the continuous light generation signal so as to generate the flashing light and the continuous light; and a control unit which receives the power from the power supply unit so as to individually control the stroboscope unit and the continuous light unit, thereby outputting the flashing light generation signal and the continuous light generation signal.
