An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit that obtains video, an audio input unit that collects sound and a control unit that controls recording of the video based on a wake word and a control word included in the sound collected by the audio input unit. In a case where the control word that gives an instruction to stop recording the video is included in the sound, the control unit stops recording the video and records video data before a start time of the wake word as a video file.

An apparatus includes a first writing unit configured to write data to a recording medium in a first unit, a second writing unit configured to write data to the recording medium in a second unit smaller than the first unit, a reading unit configured to read data from the recording medium, and a control unit configured to perform control, in response to an instruction of reading data from the recording medium during writing data by the first writing unit, to stop writing data by the first writing unit, and then to read data from the recording medium by the reading unit, and, in response to completion of reading data from the recording medium, to write data in the second unit by the second writing unit.

A method includes: obtaining, by a first electronic device, a photographing instruction; determining location information of to-be-photographed content corresponding to the photographing instruction or a photographing mode according to the photographing instruction, and determining, a camera at the most suitable location for photographing the to-be-photographed content from at least two cameras controllable by the first electronic device as a target camera, where the at least two cameras include a camera on the first electronic device and a camera of a second electronic device, and the first electronic device is different from the second electronic device; and controlling, by the first electronic device, the target camera to execute the photographing instruction to obtain image data acquired by the target camera.

An electronic device includes a housing, a display screen and a camera module. The display screen is combined with the housing and capable of being drawn into or out of the housing. The camera module includes a reflective element, a first lens component, a second component and an image sensor. The image sensor is configured to image based on light reflected by the reflective element to travel through the first lens component when the camera module is working in a first mode. The image sensor is configured to image based on light reflected by the reflective element to travel through the first lens component and the second lens component when the camera module is working in a second mode.

A digital camera includes: a display control unit that displays an image acquired by an imaging unit and setting values regarding the imaging on a display unit at the time of live-view image; and an image synthesis unit that synthesizes a plurality of images acquired by the imaging unit on the basis of the setting values, the display control unit displaying two or more setting values out of an exposure time per image out of the images to be synthesized, the number of images to be synthesized, and a total exposure time of the images to be synthesized, in an image synthesis mode in which a plurality of images are captured and synthesized.

An electronic device comprises a determination unit configured to determine a target remaining-capacity of a battery provided in an accessory device connected to the electronic device, based on an operation mode of the electronic device; and a power supply unit configured to supply power to the accessory device based on the determined remaining-capacity.

In a control device for a motion picture camera that has a record button and a control circuit connected to the record button, the control circuit is configured to cause a start of a motion picture recording in response to a first actuation of the record button. In a normal recording mode, the control device causes a termination of the motion picture recording in response to a second actuation of the record button. In a tail slate mode, the control device, in contrast, only causes a termination of the motion picture recording when first a second actuation of the record button takes place and then a third actuation of the record button takes place.

An information processing device includes circuitry to set one or more images transmitted from an image capturing device and stored, in a memory, as ones to be deleted from the memory in a case that a condition is satisfied, transmit, to a communication terminal, input screen information related to an input screen for inputting information for setting one of the one or more images as one to be excluded from the images to be deleted, and set the one of the one or more images as the one to be excluded from the images to be deleted according to an operation received via the input screen displayed on the communication terminal based on the input screen information.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a camera, an antenna, and a processor operatively connected to the camera and the antenna. The processor may obtain an image of an object by controlling the camera, may obtain signal quality received by the antenna, and may select and perform, based on the signal quality, at least one of a first correction for moving a lens of the camera based on a vibration direction of the electronic device and a second correction for generating a corrected image based on at least some area of the image of the object.
