Abstract
An imaging apparatus configured to (a) acquire information about a target position of pan or tilt drive of the imaging apparatus and information about a first driving speed associated with the target position; and (b) control an imaging direction of the imaging apparatus by performing the pan or tilt drive to the target position according to the first driving speed. In a case where the imaging apparatus is in a specific state at a time of controlling the imaging direction by performing the pan or tilt drive to the target position, the imaging direction is controlled by performing the pan or tilt drive according to a second driving speed higher than the first driving speed.
Claims9
An imaging apparatus comprising a computer executing instructions that, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to:
- acquire preset information in which a target position of pan or tilt drive of the imaging apparatus and a first driving speed are associated with each other;
- and
- control the imaging apparatus to the target position based on the preset information, and
- wherein in a case where the imaging apparatus is in a specific state, control the imaging apparatus to the target position by performing the pan or tilt drive according to a second driving speed higher than the first driving speed,
- wherein the specific state is a state in which (a) the imaging apparatus has been started up by power-on of the imaging apparatus or (b) the imaging apparatus has been restored from a standby state in which control of the imaging apparatus is limited.
A method for controlling an imaging apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring preset information about a target position of pan or tilt drive of the imaging apparatus and information about a first driving speed associated with the target position;
- and
- controlling the imaging apparatus to the target position according to the preset information,
- wherein, in a case where the imaging apparatus is in a specific state, the imaging apparatus is controlled to the target position according to a second driving speed higher than the first driving speed,
- wherein the specific state is a state in which (a) the imaging apparatus has been started up by power-on of the imaging apparatus or (b) the imaging apparatus has been restored from a standby state in which control of the imaging apparatus is limited.
A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for controlling an imaging apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring preset information about a target position of pan or tilt drive of the imaging apparatus and a first driving speed associated with each other;
- and
- controlling the imaging apparatus to the target position the preset information,
- wherein, in a case where the imaging apparatus is in a specific state, the imaging apparatus is controlled to the target position according to a second driving speed higher than the first driving speed,
- wherein the specific state is a state in which (a) the imaging apparatus has been started up by power-on of the imaging apparatus or (b) the imaging apparatus has been restored from a standby state in which control of the imaging apparatus is limited.
