Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus is disclosed which provides an appropriate inclination guide display in accordance with an aspect ratio of a picked-up image and the like. The image pickup apparatus includes an inclination detector which detects an inclination of the image pickup apparatus, a display device capable of superimposedly showing an inclination guide display corresponding to a detection output from the inclination detector, on a picked-up image, and an aspect ratio setter which sets the aspect ratio of a picked-up image. The apparatus includes a display controller which controls whether or not to show the inclination guide display on the display device on the basis of the aspect ratio set by the aspect ratio setter.
Abstract:
An apparatus, such as a focus adjusting apparatus, includes a focus adjusting system, a driving device which drives the focus adjusting system from one of a state in which a near-distance object is in focus and a state in which a far-distance object is in focus to the other, and a control device which repeatedly performs determination of a focusing state of the focus adjusting system while causing the driving device to drive the focus adjusting system, and, if the focus adjusting system has been driven in one direction until the number of times of the determination repeatedly performed reaches a predetermined number of times, restrains the focus adjusting system from being driven in the one direction, so that a focus adjusting operation can be appropriately performed.
Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus includes a detector configured to detect an in-focus direction based on a focus signal that results from an output signal of an image pickup device by reciprocating a focus lens in an optical axis direction, and a focus controller configured to provide focusing by moving the focus lens in the in-focus direction. The focus controller is configured to set an amplitude of the focus lens when moving a center of a reciprocation of the focus lens, to be less than that of the focus lens when the center of the reciprocation of the focus lens is not moved.

Abstract:
An image-pickup apparatus includes a first detector generating first information corresponding to a contrast state, a focus lens controller, a second detector outputting second information used for calculating an in-focus position, and a focus lens position detector. If the difference between the detected focus lens position and the calculated in-focus position is equal to or greater than a first value, the controller moves the focus lens towards the calculated in-focus position, and if the difference is less than the first value, the controller repeats focus control using the first information without using the second information. The apparatus reduces discontinuous movements of the focus lens.

Abstract:
This display includes a first display portion and a second display portion, a first signal line supplying a signal output from a driver circuit to the first display portion while partially serving also as a signal line for supplying another signal output from the driver circuit to the second display portion, a first switching circuit switching the signal supplied through the first signal line by time sharing and a second signal line for supplying the signal to the second display portion.
Abstract:
A soundproof engine-driven operating machine has a small installation area, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and has superior cooling effects. The soundproof engine-driven operating machine includes an engine, an operating machine main body that is driven by the engine, a base frame that supports the engine and the operating machine main body in a vibration-proof structure, and a case fitted to the base frame and accommodating the engine and the operating machine main body. One part of the case includes a first-story chamber accommodating the engine and the operating machine main body, first and second heat exchangers, each having a cooling fan and being arranged above the first-story chamber, the first and second heat exchangers performing heat conversion relating to the operation of the engine by using the cooling fans, arranged separately in a ventilation path, and a second-story chamber accommodating a muffler for discharging engine air. The part of the case is formed from a structural frame that is provided on the base frame. A cover is secured to the base frame, and covers the entire structural frame.
Abstract:
To provide a protective cover capable of enhancing convenience in connecting and disconnecting an external output line and the like without impairing safety. In a protective cover placed on a side wall of a casing 110 and covering a hollow part 115 in which an output part of an apparatus housed in the casing is provided, the cover is characterized by including an outer lid 130 which is supported by a hinge 132 provided at an upper end of the hollow part to be openable and closable in an up-and-down direction, and is provided, at a part close to a lower end, with a first locking member engaging with a catching member 116 that is provided at a lower part of the hollow part, and an internal lid 120 which is rotatably mounted to a position corresponding to the output part in an inner surface of the aforesaid outer lid to cover the output part, with its upper end rotatably supported by a hinge 121, and is characterized in that the first locking member in the aforesaid outer lid includes a hook 139 locked at the catching member, a spring 140 biasing the hook to be locked and held at the catching member, and an operation member 138 which releases the biasing by this spring.
