Disclosed are an electronic device and a method of controlling the same. An electronic device includes: a camera; a sensor module; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to determine at least one of a movement of the electronic device and a movement of an object in images acquired by the camera, determine, based on the movement of the electronic device or the movement of the object, an output period for light outputted by the sensor module, and determine depth information of the images based on reflected light corresponding to the outputted light received by the camera.

Information is acquired to contribute to determining the existence of at least one of an attachment anomaly in attachment of an imaging unit to a car and an attachment anomaly in attachment of a predetermined fixed object to the car. An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit and an image processor. The imaging unit captures an image of the surroundings of the car. The image processor detects continuous variation of a predetermined subject appearing in at least one predetermined region that is a portion of the entire region of the image captured by the imaging unit. The image processor makes a determination of whether an attachment anomaly exists based on the continuous variation.

A display controller is provided that controls a camera capturing an image of an area diagonally behind a vehicle and including an imaging element that receives light from an image-capturing target through an optical system, the display controller including a processor that calculates a shift amount of a reference position of the imaging element with respect to an optical axis of the optical system, performs a control to move the reference position of the imaging element in a direction away from the optical axis according to the shift amount, and generates a display image based on the image captured by the camera so as to cause the display image to be displayed on a display device.

An image control unit of an image display device provides, on display screens of a display unit, a captured-image-only region in which only a captured image is displayed when the display unit displays the captured image, and multiple-image regions in which the captured image or a different image that is different from the captured image is selectively displayed when the display unit displays the captured image. In an embodiment, the image control unit fixes a position of the captured-image-only region on the display screens.

The present invention provides an imaging device and a focusing control method capable of reliably preventing the accuracy of a focusing control from being lowered even in a case where a signal level of a phase difference detection pixel is low. A system control unit (11) calculates, using detections signals of phase difference detection pixels (52A, 52B) obtained by each of two instances of imaging which are consecutively performed by an imaging element (5), first defocus amounts for each instance of imaging, adds up detection signals corresponding to the detection signals of the phase difference detection pixels (52), among captured image signals obtained by each of two instances of imaging, calculates a second defocus amount using signals after addition, and compares the plural of first defocus amounts and the second defocus amount to determine whether to perform a focusing control based on the second defocus amount.

A server device that includes a receiving unit, a browse page creation unit, a mail creation unit, and a mail transmission unit. The receiving unit receives an image transmitted from an electronic camera via a wireless network. The browse page creation unit creates a browse page for browsing the transmitted image from the electronic camera, the image having been received by the receiving unit. The mail creation unit creates a notification mail for introducing the browse page that has been created by the browse page creation unit to a person other than a user of the electronic camera. Furthermore, the mail transmission unit transmits the notification mail that has been created by the mail creation unit to a specified mail address.

An electronic device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a temperature of an imaging apparatus, and at least memory and at least one processor which function as a calculation unit configured to calculate a time limit for recording a moving image based on the temperature acquired by the acquisition unit, and a control unit configured to perform control to display the time limit on a display unit in a standby state where a moving image is not recorded in a moving image recording mode.

In an image capturing apparatus, an image sensing unit has a plurality of pixels and photoelectrically converts an object image formed by an optical imaging system including a focus lens and outputs an electrical image signal, a control unit controls at least a readout rate or an exposure condition independently for different regions of the image sensing unit, and a calculation unit calculates a plurality of focus evaluation values based on image signals read out from the pixels present in a focus detection area in one of the plurality of different regions at different focus lens positions, and find an in-focus position of the focus lens based on the focus evaluation values. The control unit takes an image signal read out from a first region among the plurality of different regions as an image signal for display.

Various embodiments are described herein for a vision display system for a vehicle. The system comprises at least one camera configured to capture image data of at least one zone for the vehicle, a processing unit configured to receive the image data from the at least one camera, to correct the image data to reduce distortion, and to generate final image data from the corrected image data for viewing by an operator, a passenger or a user of the host vehicle. A display is configured to output the image data.

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces. In some examples, the electronic device transitions between user interfaces for capturing photos based on data received from a first camera and a second camera. In some examples, the electronic device provides enhanced zooming capabilities that result in visual pleasing results for a displayed digital viewfinder and for captured videos. In some examples, the electronic device provides user interfaces for transitioning a digital viewfinder between a first camera with an applied digital zoom to a second camera with no digital zoom. In some examples, the electronic device prepares to capture media at various magnification levels. In some examples, the electronic device enhanced capabilities for navigating through a plurality of values.
