`
`“recording means for recording data on said information
`recording medium” (’340 Patent, Claim 1)
`
`In addition, the parties individually identify each of the below terms as most
`
`significant:
`
`6
`
`7
`
`No. Maxell Terms
`5
`“wherein the zoom operation unit is interlocked with an optical
`zoom mechanism” (’517 patent, Claim 3)

`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`Of the foregoing ten terms, the parties identify the following terms as claim

`
`• “white balance controlling means” (’209 Patent, Claim 1)
`
