Embodiment Construction

[0008] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the present invention is applied to the video camera 1 .

[0009] FIG. 1 shows an example of the structure of a video camera 1 according to the present embodiment. The video camera 1 is equipped with a switch 11 as an input device. The switch 11 is a common term for switches located on the camera 1 . The switch 11 includes the opening / closing operation of the cassette deck. When the switch 11 is operated, an electric signal corresponding to the manner of operation is generated, and the generated signal is supplied to the baseband signal processing section 24 . In addition, an electric signal corresponding to the opening / closing operation of the cassette deck is also generated, and the generated signal is supplied to the baseband signal processing section 24 .

[0010] In addition, the video camera 1 is also equipped with a panel 12 and ...

Abstract

An electronic apparatus and an electronic apparatus control method realizing low power consumption. When a switch 11 provided in a video camera 1 is operated, and processing corresponding to the operation is executed. When processing being executed is predetermined processing, e.g. loading / unloading or fast forwarding / rewinding of a cassette, control for reducing power consumption of a panel 12 and a view finder 13 is carried out. Reduction in the power consumption reduces the luminance of the panel 12 and the view finder 13. However, the panel 12 and the view finder 13 are not used when predetermined processing, e.g. loading, is being executed. Consequently, power consumption of the video camera 1 can be reduced without causing trouble in use of the video camera 1 by a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic equipment and methods of controlling electronic equipment, and more particularly, to those equipment and methods that enable reduced power consumption. Background technique [0002] Many image capturing devices, such as video cameras and digital still cameras, are equipped with a display section, such as a monitor and / or a viewfinder, that displays a photographed subject and a menu screen for making various settings. A personal computer (PC) has a display section referred to simply as a "display" or the like. In these electronic devices such as image capture devices and PCs, their power consumption is reduced by controlling the brightness of display sections. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. HEI5-188869 describes an invention in which a backlight of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel as a display section is turned off when the device is not operated for a predetermined pe...
