Abstract
A video recording device includes: a first imaging unit (in camera) arranged on a same face as that of a display unit of a casing of the device; a second imaging unit (out camera) arranged on a face different from that of the display unit of the casing of the device; and an audio input unit that inputs a command voice giving an instruction for recording a video signal. A control unit sets a delay time until start of a recording process performed by the recording unit after input of the command voice to be different in accordance with the enabled imaging unit and sets a delay time of a case where the first imaging unit is enabled to be longer than a delay time of a case where the second imaging unit is enabled.
Claims7
An image recording method of an image recording device configured to execute a plurality of different photographing processes, comprising the steps of:
- photographing an object and acquiring an image signal by a first camera or a second camera, the first camera being arranged on the same face side of a touch display and configured to acquire a first image signal, the second camera being arranged on an opposite side of the touch display and configured to acquire a second image signal;
- receiving a command voice from an audio input interface;
- controlling to enable one of the first camera and the second camera;
- when the audio input interface receives the command voice giving a first instruction to start a recording of an image signal in a state in which the first camera is enabled, controlling to start a recording of the first image signal in response to the first instruction;
- when the touch display receives the touch operation instruction giving a second instruction, to start a recording of an image signal in a state in which the second camera is enabled, controlling to start a recording of the second image signal in response to the second instruction;
- and
- performing control such that a first standby time between a recognition of the first instruction and a start of the recording of the first image signal acquired by the first camera after the first camera is enabled and the second camera is disabled is longer than a second standby time between the recognition of the second instruction and a start of the recording of the second image signal acquired by the second camera after the second camera is enabled and the first camera is disabled.
