20100202767 | IMAGING APPARATUS, FLASH DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An imaging apparatus for performing wireless communication with a flash device, including a generation unit configured to generate a plurality of emitting instructions which include timing information indicating a timing for emitting the flash device, wherein each emitting instruction includes different timing information, and a transmission unit configured to successively transmit the plurality of emitting instructions to the flash device, wherein the transmission unit transmits each emitting instruction in succession based on the timing information. | 08-12-2010 |
20110205380 | IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD OF THESE APPARATUSES - In an image sensing system in which a master camera and a slave camera are communicatably connected, the master camera acquires delay time information of the slave camera, indicative of delay time from the moment of reception of an exposure-start instruction signal to the moment of a start of exposure of the slave camera, and based on the acquired delay time information, controls at least one of the exposure-start timing of the master camera and the transmission timing for transmitting the exposure-start instruction signal to the slave camera. | 08-25-2011 |
20120139880 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS ADAPTED TO OPERATION USING A PLURALITY OF OPERATION ELEMENTS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus capable of discriminating between an operation of turning an operation member and an operation of moving a finger alone and switching between detections of the two operations according to the situation to thereby provide a simple and intuitive user interface. A first detection unit detects a finger movement on a sub electronic dial. A second detection unit detects a turn of the sub electronic dial. When the finger movement has been detected, but the turn of the sub electronic dial has not, a first detection function is executed. When the turn of the sub electronic dial has been detected, a second detection function different from the first detection function is executed without executing the first detection function, irrespective of whether or not the finger movement has been detected. | 06-07-2012 |
20120213502 | IMAGING APPARATUS, FLASH DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An imaging apparatus for performing wireless communication with an external device. An instruction transmitting unit transmits an operation instruction to the external device. A response signal receiving unit receives a response signal from the external device. A first controlling unit starts a first operation relating to an imaging process in a case that a first time passes from a point of receiving the response signal by the response signal receiving unit. The external device executes a second operation relating to the imaging process in a case that a second time passes from a point of transmitting the response signal from the external device to the imaging apparatus. | 08-23-2012 |
20130076958 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS HAVING ELECTRONIC COMPASS FUNCTION, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image pickup apparatus which is capable of displaying a shooting azimuth for a user such that it can be intuitively understood with ease while keeping the amount of computations required to display a shooting azimuth small. When a though-the-lens image or a moving image from an image pickup sensor, which shoots a subject, is displayed on a TFT display, a shooting azimuth is displayed by a first azimuth display method based on shooting azimuth information, and when a though-the-lens image or a moving image from the image pickup sensor is not displayed on the TFT display, the shooting azimuth is displayed based on the shooting azimuth information by a second azimuth display method different from the first azimuth display method. | 03-28-2013 |
20130230304 | IMAGING APPARATUS, FLASH DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An imaging apparatus for performing wireless communication with an external device. An instruction transmitting unit transmits an operation instruction to the external device. A response signal receiving unit receives a response signal from the external device. A first controlling unit starts a first operation relating to an imaging process in a case that a first time passes from a point of receiving the response signal by the response signal receiving unit. The external device executes a second operation relating to the imaging process in a case that a second time passes from a point of transmitting the response signal from the external device to the imaging apparatus. | 09-05-2013 |
20140037280 | IMAGING APPARATUS, FLASH DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An imaging apparatus for performing wireless communication with an external device. An instruction transmitting unit transmits an operation instruction to the external device. A response signal receiving unit receives a response signal from the external device. A first controlling unit starts a first operation relating to an imaging process in a case that a first time passes from a point of receiving the response signal by the response signal receiving unit. The external device executes a second operation relating to the imaging process in a case that a second time passes from a point of transmitting the response signal from the external device to the imaging apparatus. | 02-06-2014 |
20140347554 | IMAGING APPARATUS, FLASH DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An imaging apparatus for performing wireless communication with an external device. An instruction transmitting unit transmits an operation instruction to the external device. A response signal receiving unit receives a response signal from the external device.
