Abstract
An imaging apparatus configured to change an imaging direction and to perform wireless communication includes at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor that is configured, upon execution of the stored instructions, to act as a position identification unit configured to identify a position of a subject based on an incoming direction of a radio wave received from a wireless apparatus held by the subject, and a control unit configured to, based on the identified position of the subject, perform control to change the imaging direction based on the subject not being in a predetermined region of a captured image, and not to change the imaging direction based on the subject being in the predetermined region.
Claims12
An imaging apparatus configured to change an imaging direction and to perform wireless communication, the imaging apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that is configured, upon execution of the stored instructions, to act as:
- a position identification unit configured to identify a position of a subject based on a direction of a radio wave received from a wireless apparatus held by the subject, and
- a control unit configured to perform control to change the imaging direction based on the identified position of the subject not being in a predetermined region of a captured image and not to change the imaging direction based on the subject being in the predetermined region,
- wherein the control unit changes the imaging direction so that the subject is captured in the predetermined region of the captured image.
A method for controlling an imaging apparatus configured to change an imaging direction and to perform wireless communication, the method comprising:
- identifying a position of a subject based on a direction of a radio wave received from a wireless apparatus held by the subject;
- and
- performing control to change the image direction based on the identified position of the subject not being in a predetermined region of a captured image, and not to change the imaging direction based on the subject being in the predetermined region,
- wherein the control unit changes the imaging direction so that the subject is captured in the predetermined region of the captured image.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, control an imaging apparatus that is configured to change an imaging direction and to perform wireless communication, to perform a control method, the control method comprising:
- identifying a position of a subject based on a direction of a radio wave received from a wireless apparatus held by the subject;
- and
- performing control to change the imaging direction based on the identified position of the subject not being in a predetermined region of a captured image, and not to change the imaging direction based on the subject being in the predetermined region,
- wherein the control unit changes the imaging direction so that the subject is captured in the predetermined region of the captured image.
