| 20100110278 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus of the invention comprises a camera body and a lens unit which can be mounted on and removed from the camera body. The focusing lens of the lens unit is moved along the optical axis. The position of the focusing lens on the optical axis is detected by a position detection section in response to a synchronization signal according to the photographic timing of the imaging device. A second transmission section transmits position data on the focusing lens detected by the position detection section to the camera body. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100238344 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING A CAMERA FLASH REDIRECTOR - An electronic camera device has an imaging sensor to capture an image of a scene, a flash to illuminate the scene for capture by the sensor, and an evaluator to detect a condition in the scene. A redirector shifts the peak of a spatial energy profile of light from the flash. The peak is shifted from being aimed at one region in the scene to being aimed at another region in the scene, in response to the evaluator having detected the condition in the scene. Other embodiments are also described and claimed. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20130176480 | CAMERA BODY AND INTERCHANGEABLE LENS - A camera body at which an interchangeable lens, holding a plurality of sets of optical characteristics data, each expressing specific optical characteristics in one of a plurality of representation formats, can be detachably mounted, includes: an identification information reception unit that receives lens-side identification information from the interchangeable lens, which indicates the plurality of representation formats; an identification information storage unit in which body-side identification information indicating each representation format that the camera body is capable of recognizing among the plurality of representation formats, is stored; a selection unit that selects a single representation format included in both the lens-side and the body-side identification information, among the plurality of representation formats; a request unit that issues a request to the interchangeable lens for the optical characteristics data corresponding to the selected representation format; and an optical characteristics reception unit that receives the requested optical characteristics data from the interchangeable lens. | 07-11-2013 |
| 20140253790 | FILTER WITH FIRST POLARIZED PORTION AND A SECOND POLARIZED PORTION - A portable device including a light source, an image capture component with an image sensor, a filter with a first polarized portion and a second polarized portion, a mechanism to reposition the filter to overlap the light source with the first polarized portion of the filter and overlap the image sensor with the second polarized portion of the filter, and a controller to capture visual media with the image capture component. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20140293123 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - Provided is an image pickup apparatus including, in order from an object side: a first lens unit; a stop; a second lens unit having a positive refractive power; and an image pickup element. The second lens unit includes a second lens sub-unit including only at least one positive lens. A refractive index (N2a) at a d-line of every lens included in the second lens sub-unit, an Abbe constant (ν2a) and a partial dispersion ratio (θ2a) of the every lens, a temperature-related relative refractive index change (dn2a/dTrelative) at the d-line, a focal length (f) of the overall system, a focal length (f2a) of the second lens sub-unit, an overall length (TD) of an image pickup lens, and a distance (BF) from an image-side surface of a lens arranged closest to an image side in the image pickup lens to an image plane of the image pickup element satisfy predetermined relationships. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20150109521 | CAMERA BODY AND INTERCHANGEABLE LENS - A camera body at which an interchangeable lens, holding a plurality of sets of optical characteristics data, each expressing specific optical characteristics in one of a plurality of representation formats, can be detachably mounted, includes: an identification information reception unit that receives lens-side identification information from the interchangeable lens, which indicates the plurality of representation formats; an identification information storage unit in which body-side identification information indicating each representation format that the camera body is capable of recognizing among the plurality of representation formats, is stored; a selection unit that selects a single representation format included in both the lens-side and the body-side identification information, among the plurality of representation formats; a request unit that issues a request to the interchangeable lens for the optical characteristics data corresponding to the selected representation format; and an optical characteristics reception unit that receives the requested optical characteristics data from the interchangeable lens. | 04-23-2015 |
