Abstract
There is provided an information processing device including a control part configured to control an imaging operation on the basis of a contact state of an object in a lens barrel that houses an optical system.
Claims15
An information processing device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive information associated with a user's contact on a lens barrel, wherein the information comprises a contact area of the lens barrel that is in the user's contact;
- determine, based on the received information, a state of an imaging device,
- wherein the imaging device comprises the lens barrel, and
- wherein the state corresponds to a holding state of the imaging device with respect to the user's contact;
- control, an imaging operation of the imaging device, based on the determined state and a relative positional relation of the information processing device with the imaging device;
- and
- set a moving image mode to the imaging device based on attachment of the imaging device with the information processing device and the contact area that exceeds a threshold area.
