Abstract
An electronic device comprises a rotational operation member and a control unit that controls an angle of rotation at which to generate a clicking sensation in the rotational operation member. The control unit controls the angle of rotation based on a division of a setting to be changed in accordance with a rotational operation of the rotational operation member.
Claims15
An electronic device comprising:
- a rotational operation member;
- a first setting unit configured to set a setting level of a predetermined setting;
- a control unit configured to control a click angle and a click intensity at which to generate a click in the rotational operation member in accordance with the setting level set by the first setting unit;
- and
- a second setting unit configured to change a setting value of the predetermined setting for each rotation operation of the rotational operation member by the click angle, wherein the second setting unit changes the setting value to the setting value corresponding to the setting level set by the first setting unit,
- wherein the first setting unit is capable of setting a first setting level and a second setting level, and the first setting level and the second setting level include a common setting value that is settable for either setting level, and
- wherein, in accordance with the setting level, the control unit controls the click angle and controls such that the click intensity for changing the setting value to the common setting value is stronger than the click intensity for changing the setting value to a setting value other than the common setting value.
A method of controlling an electronic device including a rotational operation member comprising:
- setting a setting level of a predetermined setting;
- controlling a click angle and a click intensity at which to generate a click in the rotational operation member in accordance with the setting level set by the first setting unit;
- and
- changing a setting value of the predetermined setting for each rotation operation of the rotational operation member by the click angle, wherein the setting value is changed to the setting value corresponding to the setting level set in the setting step,
- wherein the setting step is capable of setting a first setting level and a second setting level, and the first setting level and the second setting level include a common setting value that is settable for either setting level, and
- wherein, in accordance with the setting level, the controlling controls the click angle and controls such that the click intensity for changing the setting value to the common setting value is stronger than the click intensity for changing the setting value to a setting value other than the common setting value.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor to function as an electronic device comprising:
- a rotational operation member;
- a first setting unit configured to set a setting level of a predetermined setting;
- a control unit configured to control a click angle and a click intensity at which to generate a click in the rotational operation member in accordance with the setting level set by the first setting unit;
- and
- a second setting unit configured to change a setting value of the predetermined setting for each rotation operation of the rotational operation member by the click angle, wherein the second setting unit changes the setting value to the setting value corresponding to the setting level set by the first setting unit,
- wherein the first setting unit is capable of setting a first setting level and a second setting level, and the first setting level and the second setting level include a common setting value that is settable for either setting level, and
- wherein, in accordance with the setting level, the control unit controls the click angle and controls such that the click intensity for changing the setting value to the common setting value is stronger than the click intensity for changing the setting value to a setting value other than the common setting value.
