    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques that provide a “best” picture taken within a few seconds of the moment when a capture command is received (e.g., when the “shutter” button is pressed). In some situations, several still images are automatically (that is, without the user's input) captured. These images are compared to find a “best” image that is presented to the photographer for consideration. Video is also captured automatically and analyzed to see if there is an action scene or other motion content around the time of the capture command. If the analysis reveals anything interesting, then the video clip is presented to the photographer. The video clip may be cropped to match the still-capture scene and to remove transitory parts. Higher-precision horizon detection may be provided based on motion analysis and on pixel-data analysis.

    Abstract: In a case where a recording medium having a communication function is used for a digital still camera, noise may be generated and superposed on data to be recorded if data transmission is performed in imaging. On the other hand, in a case where data is transmitted in response to a user's request from an external apparatus, communication interruption degrades usability. The digital still camera obtains a product name of the recording medium from the recording medium so as to specify a transmission mode. If an automatic transmission mode for spontaneously performing data transmission is specified, data transmission is interrupted when imaging instruction is issued and furthermore the communication function of the recording medium may be disabled. On the other hand, if a manual transmission mode for performing data transmission in response to a request is specified, a communication state is maintained even if an imaging instruction is issued.
