Abstract
An image capturing device capable of capturing a high-definition moving image comprises an image capturing unit that converts a subject image formed via an optical system with an adjustable focal length to image signals and outputs the image signals as image data, and an image processing unit that stores the output image data as still image data or moving image data into a storage unit. The image capturing device is characterized in that the image processing unit comprises an alignment processing unit that detects a position at which the field angle range of an image captured to be stored as moving image data fits within the field angle range of an image captured to be stored as still image data.
Claims10
An image capturing device, comprising:
- an image capturing unit that converts a subject image, formed via an optical system that allows focal length adjustment, to image signals and outputs the image signals as image data;
- an image processing unit that stores the image data having been output into a storage unit as still image data or moving image data;
- and
- a display unit at which the still image data or the moving image data, currently being captured by the image capturing device or stored in the storage unit, are brought up on display, wherein:
- the image processing unit comprises an alignment processing unit that detects a position at which a field angle range of an image captured as the moving image data fits within a field angle range of an image captured as the still image data.
