Abstract
Provided are a photographing control method and apparatus according to motion of a digital photographing apparatus. The photographing control method may prevent inconvenience when a subject is photographed while changing a viewing angle by using an additional zoom button, by sensing predetermined motion via a motion sensor comprised in the digital photographing apparatus and calculating a first motion value; comparing the calculated first motion value to predetermined threshold values; and controlling a zoom lens to be driven in a predetermined direction according to a result of the comparing.
Claims21
A photographing control method according to motion of a digital photographing apparatus, the photographing control method comprising:
- (a) sensing motion which is parallel to an optical axis of the digital photographing apparatus via a motion sensor comprised in the digital photographing apparatus that directly measures motion parallel to the optical axis, and calculating a first motion value representing the sensed motion;
- (b) comparing the calculated first motion value to predetermined threshold values;
- and
- (c) controlling a zoom lens to be driven in a direction which is parallel to the optical axis to have a wider or narrower viewing angle according to a result of the comparing.
A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program for executing a photographing control method comprising:
- (a) sensing motion which is parallel to an optical axis of the digital photographing apparatus via a motion sensor comprised in the digital photographing apparatus that directly measures motion parallel to the optical axis, and calculating a first motion value representing the sensed motion;
- (b) comparing the calculated first motion value to predetermined threshold values;
- and
- (c) controlling a zoom lens to be driven in a direction which is parallel to the optical axis to have a wider or narrower viewing angle according to a result of the comparing.
A photographing control apparatus according to motion of a digital photographing apparatus, the photographing control apparatus comprising:
- a motion calculator that senses motion which is parallel to an optical axis of the digital photographing apparatus via a motion sensor comprised in the digital photographing apparatus that directly measures motion parallel to the optical axis, and calculates a first motion value representing the sensed motion;
- and
- a controller that compares the calculated first motion value to predetermined threshold values and controls a zoom lens to be driven in a direction which is parallel to the optical axis apparatus to have a wider or narrower viewing angle according to a result of the comparing.
