Abstract: An object of the present invention is to perform matching adjustment between left and right screens easily and accurately in a digital stereo camera and/or a digital stereo video camera at a photographing time or after photographing. A stereo viewfinder 3 of a digital stereo camera 1 is constituted of a pair of left and right liquid crystal displays and eyepiece lenses 10. Such a constitution is adopted that aspect ratios of left and right image display regions of the liquid crystal displays is made narrower than aspect ratios of image capture regions of image capture devices and horizontal scrolling is performed symmetrically regarding the left and right. Images on the image capture devices are horizontally scrolled, while finder images are viewed in a stereoscopic manner with both eyes, so that perspective of a stereoscopic image changes and an optimally scrolled image data can be photographed. Scroll adjustment can be performed on image data after photographed, and stereo photographs giving an optimal stereoscopic feeling can be printed from edited image data.

Filed: 2006-10-02
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a wavy coulter having a plurality of variable--amplitude waves, each wave defined by a crest and an adjacent valley. The coulter is mounted on an implement such that a leading peripheral edge of the coulter rotates in a downward direction as it enters the soil. The waves having larger amplitudes of deviation from flat provide a driving force for turning the variable wave coulter. The waves having smaller amplitudes of deviation from flat provide penetration into the soil. The result is a coulter that is forgiving in both wet and dry soil conditions.
