Imaging device having a display section, and imaging method therefor

An imaging device, comprising:

• a display section capable of displaying a map display that has a cursor that is capable of movement in a circumferential direction, and in a radial direction orthogonal to this circumferential direction;
• an operating section for respectively causing movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction and in the radial direction;
• a control section for carrying out control to respectively make first and second shooting parameters correspond to a position of the cursor, that has been moved by the operating section, around the edge of the map display and within the map display relative to the center;
• wherein
• the first shooting parameter is dependent on the circumferential direction position, and the display section is provided with a neutral zone in order to neutralize the first shooting parameter, on the map display.

An imaging method, for an imaging device having a display section capable of displaying a circular map display that has a cursor that is capable of movement in a circumferential direction and in a radial direction, comprising:

• respectively causing movement of the cursor in the circumferential direction and in the radial direction in accordance with operation of an operating section;
• and
• carrying out control to respectively make first and second shooting parameters correspond to a circumferential direction position and a radial direction position of the cursor that has been moved by the operating section, wherein
• the first shooting parameter is dependent on the circumferential direction position, the display section is provided with a neutral zone on the circular map display, and in the case where the cursor is in the neutral zone the first shooting parameter is neutralized.
