Abstract
An imaging device is capable of interval shooting that allows images to be consecutively captured at predetermined image-capture intervals. The imaging device includes power input unit through which the imaging device receives power from an external device; battery configured to be charged with power received via the power input unit, and to supply power to operate the imaging device; and charge controller configured to control charging of the battery. Charge controller prohibits, under a predetermined condition, charging of the battery during the interval shooting performed by the imaging device.
Claims11
An imaging device capable of interval shooting that allows images to be consecutively captured at image-capture intervals predetermined beforehand, the imaging device comprising:
- a power input unit through which the imaging device receives power from an external device connected to the power input unit;
- a battery configured to be charged with the power received via the power input unit, and to supply the power to operate the imaging device;
- and
- a charge controller configured to control charging of the battery,
- wherein the charge controller prohibits, under a predetermined condition, the charging of the battery between immediately adjacent shots during the interval shooting performed by the imaging device.
