A device based system for interacting around a collection of user definable moments portraying a theme readable by others via a filter. Users may participate actively, voyeuristically, passively, or vicariously, to share propaganda, graffiti, news, parody, satire, opinions, information, commentary, entertainment, contests, and amusement to a location or an object.

The controller of a digital camera executes copying of image data between memory cards loaded in the digital camera. The controller stores target medium information in a memory. The target medium information indicates, among the loaded memory cards, a memory card in which image data is recorded last or a memory card from which image data is read last. Based on the target medium information, the controller sets a copy direction. The copy direction indicates, among the loaded memory cards, a copy source memory card and a copy destination memory card.

There is provided an imaging device including: a signal processing unit configured to cause a series of picture data being continuously acquired to be temporarily stored in a buffer memory area in a signal processing process, read out the series of picture data from the buffer memory area, and perform a subsequent signal processing; and a control unit configured to perform control for deleting at least a part of the picture data stored in the buffer memory area, on a basis of detecting a predetermined operation while the signal processing is being performed on the series of picture data by the signal processing unit.

An image processing apparatus includes a first evaluator configured to evaluate under a first evaluation condition a focus state of each of a plurality of image data acquired by consecutive capturing, a second evaluator configured to evaluate the focus state of each of the plurality of image data under a second evaluation condition different from the first evaluation condition, and a recorder configured to record first evaluation information indicating an evaluation result under the first evaluation condition and second evaluation information indicating an evaluation result under the second evaluation condition.

A generation apparatus according to the present invention is a generation apparatus for generating a media file storing virtual viewpoint image data generated based on pieces of image data of an object captured from a plurality of directions with a plurality of cameras, and obtains a virtual viewpoint parameter to be used to generate virtual viewpoint image data. Further, the generation apparatus generates a media file storing the obtained virtual viewpoint parameter and virtual viewpoint image data generated based on the virtual viewpoint parameter. In this way, the generation apparatus can improve usability related to a virtual viewpoint image.

An electronic device, while in a first media acquisition mode, captures media and performs scene recognition. If the scene recognition meets first criteria, the media is displayed as a sequence of images acquired by the camera in temporal proximity to a single activation of a shutter button of the device at the first time. The sequence of images includes a plurality of images acquired by the camera prior to detecting activation of the shutter button at the first time, a representative image that represents the sequence of images and was acquired by the camera after one or more other images in the sequence of images, and a plurality of images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image. If the scene recognition does not meet the first criteria, the media is displayed as a single image in temporal proximity to the activation of the shutter button.

An augmented reality moment file represented by an augmented reality icon recordable and readable by a handy having a processor in proximity to the locus of a recorded moment file configured to receive an augmented reality moment file. The content of the augmented reality moment file is preferably assessable via a user selectable icon either representative of a user, location, and/or theme. The icon assessable user created content moment file, in addition to content and a position, preferably also includes recorder identification, a recorded time, an expiration, and media such as text, an image, a video, a sound recording, a game play instruction, a game play move, and/or a setup menu.

A recording apparatus (100) which records content in a recording medium (113 and 114) includes an obtaining unit which obtains information on a temperature of the recording medium (S311) and a display controller which performs control such that display associated with the temperature of the recording medium is performed based on the temperature information obtained by the obtaining unit (S314).

An imaging apparatus includes a storing unit configured to, when recording pieces of image data obtained by an imaging unit on a plurality of recording media, respectively temporarily store the pieces of image data obtained by the imaging unit in a plurality of storage regions corresponding to the plurality of recording media, a recording control unit configured to perform control to respectively record the pieces of image data temporarily stored in the plurality of storage regions on the plurality of recording media corresponding to the plurality of storage regions, and a display control unit configured to perform control to display information indicating a use status of a storage region on a display unit, wherein the display control unit performs control to display information indicating the use status only with respect to one storage region out of the plurality of storage regions.

An image terminal apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to image an object continuously and generate image data sequentially; a buffer memory configured to store temporarily and sequentially the image data; an I/F circuit configured to sequentially write the image data stored in the buffer memory on a recording medium attached externally; a communicating circuit configured to sequentially transmit the image data stored in the buffer memory through communication with a peripheral device according to a predetermined communication standard; a detecting circuit configured to detect a remaining amount of data storable in the buffer memory; a first determining circuit configured to determine whether the remaining amount is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold; and a data control circuit configured to control a mode of the image data sequentially stored in the buffer memory based on a determination result by the first determining circuit.
