Abstract
An image capture apparatus comprises an image sensor and a control circuit that controls operations of the image sensor. The control circuit, in a case where a still image shooting instruction is input during moving image shooting that uses the image sensor, performs a first shot of still image shooting using the image sensor upon a time determined in advance elapsing from input of the shooting instruction, and, in a case where the shooting instruction is continuously input, controls the image sensor to perform still image shooting of a second shot onward during a blanking time period of the moving image shooting.
Claims10
An image capture apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor;
- and
- a control circuit that controls operations of the image sensor,
- wherein the control circuit, in a case where a still image shooting instruction is input during moving image shooting that uses the image sensor, performs a first shot of still image shooting using the image sensor upon a time determined in advance elapsing from input of the shooting instruction, and, in a case where the shooting instruction is continuously input, controls the image sensor to perform still image shooting of a second shot onward during a blanking time period of the moving image shooting.
A control method for an image capture apparatus having an image sensor, the method comprising:
- executing, in a case where a still image shooting instruction is input during moving image shooting that uses the image sensor, a first shot of still image shooting using the image sensor upon a time determined in advance elapsing from input of the shooting instruction, and controlling, in a case where the shooting instruction is continuously input, the image sensor to perform still image shooting of a second shot onward during a blanking time period of the moving image shooting.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer of an image capture apparatus that includes an image sensor to function as:
- a control unit that controls operations of the image sensor,
- wherein the control unit, in a case where a still image shooting instruction is input during moving image shooting that uses the image sensor, performs a first shot of still image shooting using the image sensor upon a time determined in advance elapsing from input of the shooting instruction, and, in a case where the shooting instruction is continuously input, controls the image sensor to perform still image shooting of a second shot onward during a blanking time period of the moving image shooting.
