First pixels and second pixels are arranged in an LCD of a digital camera. Image light from the first pixel is diffused by a diffusing filter. Image light from the second pixel is deflected by a prism and directed in an oblique direction. When the LCD is viewed from a forward direction, only a captured image generated by the first pixels is observed. When the LCD is viewed from the oblique direction, the captured image, and camera information generated by the second pixels are observed in a state that they overlap each other.

A wide-angle camera is fixed to direct an optical axis in a fixed direction. A telephotographic camera can be inclined in panning and tilting directions to change an aiming direction of its optical axis. An image signal from the wide-angle camera is evaluated. When an image of a moving object is identified in a frame captured by the wide-angle camera, directivity information corresponding to a position of the moving object is calculated based on a relative position to the center of the frame. In accordance with the directivity information, posture of the telephotographic camera is controlled to aim its optical axis at the moving object. Thereafter, the posture of the telephotographic camera is controlled continuously to place the image of the moving object in the center of the frame captured by the telephotographic camera. The telephotographic camera captures the moving object while tracking it.

The present invention relates to a gaming machine candle device. Gaming machines utilize electric “candles” placed thereon to inform patrons of a machine's particular denomination. In other words, yellow signifies a quarter machine and red a nickel machine. The improved candle device described herein uses colored and transparent plastic plates in conjunction with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to more visibly and aesthetically inform patrons. A first transparent colored plate is illuminated to signify the machine's denomination. A second plate behind said first plate is used to inform gaming machine operators of concerns with said machine or player. Said second plate may also display words or logos affiliated with operators, manufacturers or the like. Frosting and beveling techniques along edges and surfaces of said plates cause LED light to refract highlighting those areas. A transparent second plate permits the color of said first plate to be viewed throughout a gaming establishment.
