Abstract
An imaging apparatus can include an angle calculation unit configured to calculate attitude angles of a main body unit and a display unit from gravitational accelerations acquired from a first acceleration sensor and a second acceleration sensor, and switches a calculation method of the attitude angles to be calculated by the angle calculation unit based on a vibration state detected by a vibration detection unit.
Claims8
An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- a main body;
- a display;
- a display holder configured to rotatably hold the display relative to the main body;
- a first acceleration sensor configured to detect a first gravitational acceleration applied to the main body;
- a second acceleration sensor configured to detect a second gravitational acceleration applied to the display;
- an angle calculator configured to include a low-pass filter, and to calculate an attitude angle of the main body based on the first gravitational acceleration and an attitude angle of the display based on the second gravitational acceleration;
- and
- a display switch configured to switch a display state of the display based on the attitude angle of the main body and the attitude angle of the display,
- wherein a cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter in a large vibration state is set to be lower than a cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter in a small vibration state.
