Abstract
An image capturing apparatus and its control method for capturing a moving image. Plural movie capturing modes with different control parameters are set in accordance with an instruction from a user. One of selectable frame rates is selected in accordance with video output setting by the user. Moving image frames are generated based on the selected frame rate and a control parameter corresponding to the frame rate, and recorded as a moving image on a recording medium.
Claims11
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- a photographing unit configured to capture image of an object to generate an image signal;
- a mode setting unit configured to set an image capturing mode from a plurality of image capturing modes corresponding to different video systems of different standards;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an image signal acquisition period,
- wherein, in a case that the mode setting unit changes from a first image capturing mode to a second image capturing mode, the control unit sets the image signal acquisition period to be the nearest image signal acquisition period to an image signal acquisition period set in the first image capturing mode, among image signal acquisition periods corresponding to the second image capturing mode.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- a photographing unit configured to capture image of an object to generate an image signal;
- a mode setting unit configured to set an image capturing mode from a plurality of image capturing modes corresponding to different video systems of different standards;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an image signal acquisition period,
- wherein in a case that the mode setting unit changes from a first image capturing mode to a second image capturing mode, the control unit sets a first image signal acquisition period, which is nearer to an image signal acquisition period set in the first image capturing mode than a second image acquisition period, and
- wherein the image signal acquisition periods corresponding to the second image capturing mode include the first image signal acquisition period and the second image acquisition period.
A method of controlling an image capturing apparatus comprising:
- capturing image of an object to generate an image signal;
- setting an image capturing mode from a plurality of image capturing modes corresponding to different video systems of different standards;
- and
- controlling an image signal acquisition period,
- wherein, in a case that the image capturing mode is changed from a first image capturing mode to a second image capturing mode, the controlling step sets the image signal acquisition period to be the nearest image signal acquisition period to an image signal acquisition period set in the first image capturing mode, among image signal acquisition periods corresponding to the second image capturing mode.
