Image pickup device and image pickup method

An image pickup method which can be used in an image pickup device comprising a camera unit, a display unit which displays an image captured by the camera unit, and a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit, said image pickup method comprising:

• changing a brightness of the display unit from a first brightness to a second brightness brighter than the first brightness when a predetermined operation is performed on the touch panel;
• and
• displaying on the display unit an indication showing that the brightness has increased,
• wherein the indication showing that the brightness has increased is continued even at least after changing to the second brightness.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing an image pickup program comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause an image pickup device, which comprises a camera unit, a display unit which displays an image captured by the camera unit, and a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit, to execute:

• changing a brightness of the display unit from a first brightness to a second brightness brighter than the first brightness when a predetermined operation is performed on the touch panel;
• and
• displaying on the display unit an indication showing that the brightness has increased,
• wherein the indication showing that the brightness has increased is continued even at least after changing to the second brightness.

A display device comprising:

• a display unit which displays an image;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein when a predetermined operation is performed on the touch panel, a brightness of the display unit is changed from a first brightness to a second brightness brighter than the first brightness,
• wherein the display unit displays thereon an indication showing that the brightness has increased, and
• wherein the indication showing that the brightness has increased is continued even at least after changing to the second brightness.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a display unit which displays an image captured by the camera unit;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein when a predetermined operation is performed on the touch panel, a gamma characteristic of the display unit is changed from a first gamma characteristic to a second gamma characteristic,
• wherein the display unit displays thereon an indication showing that the gamma characteristic of the display unit has been changed, and
• wherein the indication showing that the gamma characteristic has been changed is continued even at least after changing to the second gamma characteristic.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a display unit that displays an image captured by the camera unit;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein when a predetermined operation is performed on the touch panel, an imaging condition in the camera unit is changed from a first imaging condition to a second imaging condition different from the first imaging conditions.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a flashlight unit capable of emitting light at a time of imaging of the camera unit;
• a display unit which displays an image captured by the camera unit;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein when a predetermined operation is performed on the touch panel, setting of the flashlight unit is changed.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a display unit which displays an image captured by the camera unit;
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit;
• and
• a storage unit which stores a predetermined operation on the touch panel in association with a function to be executed, by a setting operation on the touch panel.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a display unit;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein the display unit has at least a first mode in which an image captured by the camera unit is displayed, and a second mode in which a predetermined image is displayed,
• wherein in the first mode, the touch panel has an unresponsive region with a predetermined width in a peripheral portion of the display unit, and
• wherein in the second mode, the touch panel does not have the unresponsive region.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a display unit;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein the display unit has at least a first mode in which an image captured by the camera unit is displayed, and a second mode in which a predetermined image is displayed,
• wherein in the first mode, the touch panel has an unresponsive region with a first width in a peripheral portion of the display unit, and
• wherein in the second mode, the touch panel has an unresponsive region with a second width, which is smaller than the first width, in the peripheral portion of the display unit.

An image pickup device comprising:

• a camera unit;
• a display unit which displays an image captured by the camera unit;
• and
• a touch panel disposed so as to overlap the display unit,
• wherein the image pickup device has at least a first mode and a second mode,
• wherein switching from the first mode to the second mode occurs by a first flick operation in a first direction, and
• wherein a predetermined program is allowed to be started in the second mode.
