Abstract
Embodiments include a digital photographing apparatus and a control method thereof. The digital photographing apparatus detects two or more face regions from an input image, calculates an aperture value for focusing on all face regions to notify a user of the calculated value, and photographs all focused faces by automatically changing the aperture value, when the subject to be photographed is a plurality of persons.
Claims20
A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting two or more face regions from an input image;
- calculating distances to subjects corresponding to the detected face regions;
- determining whether to enable depth expression of the input image based on the calculated distances;
- and
- controlling capturing of the input image according to the determined result.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program executable by a processor for performing a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting two or more face regions from an input image;
- calculating distances to subjects corresponding to the detected face regions;
- determining whether to enable depth expression of the input image based on the calculated distances;
- and
- controlling capturing of the input image according to the determined result.
A digital photographing apparatus comprising:
- a face detection unit that detects two or more face regions from an input image;
- an auto-focus (AF) calculation unit that calculates distances to subjects corresponding to the detected face regions;
- and
- a control unit that determines whether to enable depth expression of the input image on the basis of the calculated distances, and controls capturing of the input image according to the determined result.
