Abstract
An apparatus comprising, a capturing unit, a rotation unit for adjusting an image capturing direction by rotating the capturing unit, a control unit for controlling a rotational position of the rotation unit, a first detection unit for detecting a first shake of the apparatus, and a storage unit for storing a rotational position of the rotation unit in association with an anti-vibration setting, wherein the control unit determines the rotational position, based on a designated image capturing direction, and controls an operation of the rotation unit to cancel the detected first shake, during image capture at the determined rotational position, based on the stored anti-vibration setting.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a capturing element;
- a rotation mechanism that adjusts an image capturing direction by rotating the capturing element;
- a first detection sensor that detects a first shake of the apparatus;
- a storage that stores a rotational position of the rotation mechanism in association with an anti-vibration setting;
- and
- one or more processors executing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine a rotational position of the rotation mechanism, based on a designated image capturing direction by the capturing element, and
- control an operation of the rotation mechanism to cancel the detected first shake, during image capture by the capturing element at the determined rotational position, based on the anti-vibration setting stored in the storage in association with the determined rotational position.
A method comprising:
- at an apparatus with a capturing element, a rotation mechanism that adjusts an image capturing direction by rotating the capturing element, a first detection sensor that detects a first shake of the apparatus, and a storage that stores a rotational position of the rotation mechanism in association with an anti-vibration setting,
- determining a rotational position of the rotation mechanism, based on a designated image capturing direction by the capturing element, and
- controlling an operation of the rotation mechanism to cancel the detected first shake, during image capture by the capturing element at the determined rotational position, based on the anti-vibration setting stored in the storage in association with the determined rotational position.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more program including instructions that, when executed by a processor of an apparatus comprising a capturing element, a rotation mechanism that adjusts an image capturing direction by rotating the capturing element, a first detection sensor configured to detect a first shake of the apparatus, and a storage that stores a rotational position of the rotation mechanism in association with an anti-vibration setting, causes the processor to perform operations of:
- determining a rotational position of the rotation mechanism, based on a designated image capturing direction by the capturing element, and
- controlling an operation of the rotation mechanism to cancel the detected first shake, during image capture by the capturing element at the determined rotational position, based on the stored anti-vibration setting in association with the determined rotational position.
