Imaging apparatus, imaging method and recording medium

An imaging apparatus capable of imaging using a self-timer, comprising:

• an imaging section;
• a recognition section which recognizes photographic subjects on both ends from among a plurality of photographic subjects within an imaging area of the imaging section;
• and
• an imaging control section which captures an image by controlling an image viewing angle of the imaging section so that the photographic subjects on both ends which have been recognized by the recognition section are included within the imaging area, when imaging using the self-timer is performed.

An imaging method using a self-timer in an imaging apparatus including an imaging section, comprising:

• an imaging step of performing imaging by the imaging section;
• an imaging area setting step of setting photographic subjects intended to be positioned on both ends of an imaging area;
• and
• an imaging control step of identifying the photographic subjects intended to be positioned on both ends of the imaging area which have been set in the imaging area setting step, and capturing an image by controlling an image viewing angle for the imaging step so that the photographic subjects are included within the imaging area, when imaging using the self-timer is performed.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer in an imaging apparatus capable of imaging using a self-timer, the program being executable by the computer to perform functions comprising:

• imaging processing;
• imaging area setting processing for setting photographic subjects intended to be positioned on both ends of an imaging area;
• and
• an imaging control processing for identifying the photographic subjects intended to be positioned on both ends of the imaging area which have been set by the imaging area setting processing, and capturing an image by controlling an image viewing angle for the imaging processing so that the photographic subjects are included within the imaging area, when imaging using a self-timer is performed.
