Image capture device having motion sensing means

A method of capturing images based on motion sensed by an image capture device comprises:

• storing a plurality of configurations of setting controls of an image capture device as preset configurations, wherein each preset configuration is associated with a particular output of motion sensing means of the image capture device;
• and
• capturing at least one image with the image capture device set at one of said preset configurations when an output of the motion sensing means is substantially the same as that associated with the preset configuration.

An image capture device incorporates an image capture section, at least one motion sensor, a controller and setting controls for the image capture device, wherein the controller is operable to store a plurality of configurations of the setting controls as preset configurations, wherein each of said preset configurations is associated with a particular output of the motion sensor, wherein the output of the motion sensing means is a spatial orientation of the image capture device or a movement pattern of the image capture device, and wherein the setting controls are operable to adjust and/or control one or more of a zoom setting, a focus setting, an exposure setting, a light balance setting, an image stabilisation setting and/or an image capture function of the image capture section.
