Abstract
An imaging device is provided including detection circuitry configured to detect a grip force applied to an imaging device; and a controller configured to set a reference force based on at least one of weight information of a lens mounted on the imaging device and base grip force information and to operate in an imaging ready mode when the detected grip force is equal to or greater than the reference force.
Claims23
An imaging device, comprising:
- detection circuitry configured to detect a grip force applied to the imaging device;
- and
- a controller configured to set a reference force based on information of a lens mounted on the imaging device and to operate the imaging device in an imaging ready mode when the detected grip force is equal to or greater than the reference force,
- wherein the information of the lens includes information relating to a weight of the lens and the reference force is set based on at least the weight-related information.
A method of operating an imaging device, comprising:
- setting a reference force based on information of a lens mounted on the imaging device;
- detecting a grip force applied to the imaging device;
- and
- operating the imaging device in an imaging ready mode when the detected grip force is equal to or greater than the reference force,
- wherein the information of the lens includes information relating to a weight of the lens and the reference force is set based on at least the weight-related information.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program which, when executed by a computer of an imaging device, causes the imaging device to execute:
- setting a reference force based on information of a lens mounted on the imaging device;
- detecting a grip force applied to the imaging device;
- and
- operating the imaging device in an imaging ready mode when the detected grip force is equal to or greater than the reference force,
- wherein the information of the lens includes information relating to a weight of the lens and the reference force is set based on at least the weight-related information.
A method of operating an imaging device, comprising:
- setting a reference force based on at least one of weight information of a lens mounted on the imaging device and base grip force information;
- operating in a continuous imaging mode;
- detecting a grip force applied to the imaging device;
- and
- changing a rate of the continuous imaging when the detected grip force is equal to or greater than the reference force.
A method of operating an imaging device, comprising:
- setting a reference force based on at least one of weight information of a lens mounted on the imaging device and base grip force information;
- operating in a video imaging mode;
- detecting a grip force applied to the imaging device;
- and
- operating in a still image capturing mode when the detected grip force is equal to or greater than the reference force.
