Imaging device, imaging system, method of activating imaging device, and computer readable recording medium saving program

An imaging system, comprising:

• an imaging device configured to be activated in any one of a plurality of shooting modes including a first shooting mode and a second shooting mode different from the first shooting mode;
• and
• a control device,
• wherein the imaging device includes
• a power operation switch configured to receive an operation of turning on a power source of the imaging device,
• a shooting operation switch configured to be in any one of a plurality of states including a first state and a second state, not to receive a shooting instruction operation in the first state, and to receive the shooting instruction operation in the second state after the imaging device is activated,
• an imaging module configured to perform imaging when the power source is turned on and the shooting operation switch is in the second state,
• a first communication module configured to wirelessly receive second shooting mode information indicating the second shooting mode,
• a memory configured to store first shooting mode information indicating the first shooting mode and the second shooting mode information wirelessly received through the first communication module, and
• a control unit configured to activate the imaging device,
• wherein, when the shooting operation switch is in the first state during the power source transitions from an OFF state to an ON state, the control unit reads the first shooting mode information from the memory, and activates the imaging device in the first shooting mode indicated by the read first shooting mode information, and
• when the shooting operation switch is in the second state and the power source transitions from the OFF state to the ON state, the control unit reads the second shooting mode information from the memory, and activates the imaging device in the second shooting mode indicated by the read second shooting mode information, and
• the control device includes a second communication module configured to wirelessly transmit the second shooting mode information.

A method of activating an imaging device that is activated in any one of a plurality of shooting modes including a first shooting mode and a second shooting mode different from the first shooting mode,

• the imaging device comprising:
• a power operation switch configured to receive an operation of turning on a power source of the imaging device,
• a shooting operation switch configured to be in any one of a plurality of states including a first state and a second state, not to receive a shooting instruction operation in the first state, and to receive the shooting instruction operation in the second state after the imaging device is activated,
• an imaging module configured to perform imaging when the power source is turned on and the shooting operation switch is in the second state,
• a memory configured to store first shooting mode information indicating the first shooting mode and second shooting mode information indicating the second shooting mode, and
• a communication module configured to wirelessly receive the second imaging mode information,
• the method of activating the imaging device comprising:
• a first step in which the storage module stores the second imaging mode information in advance,
• wherein the second imaging mode information is wirelessly received through the communication module,
• a second step of receiving an operation of turning on a power source of the imaging device through the power operation switch;
• and
• a third step of activating the imaging device,
• wherein, when the shooting operation switch is in the first state during the power source transitions from an OFF state to an ON state, the first shooting mode information is read from the memory, and the imaging device is activated in the first shooting mode indicated by the read first shooting mode information, and
• when the shooting operation switch is in the second state and the power source transitions from the OFF state to the ON state, the second shooting mode information is read from the memory, and the imaging device is activated in the second shooting mode indicated by the read second shooting mode information.

A computer readable recording medium storing a program causing a computer of an imaging device to execute a first step to a third step, the imaging device being activated in any one of a plurality of shooting modes including a first shooting mode and a second shooting mode different from the first shooting mode,

• the imaging device comprising:
• a power operation switch configured to receive an operation of turning on a power source of the imaging device,
• a shooting operation switch configured to be in any one of a plurality of states including a first state and a second state, not to receive a shooting instruction operation in the first state, and to receive the shooting instruction operation in the second state after the imaging device is activated,
• an imaging module configured to perform imaging when the power source is turned on and the shooting operation switch is in the second state,
• a storage module configured to store first imaging mode information indicating the first imaging mode and second imaging mode information indicating the second imaging mode, and
• a communication module configured to wirelessly receive the second imaging mode information,
• wherein,
• in the first step, the storage module stores the second imaging mode information wirelessly received through the communication module,
• in the second step, an operation of turning on a power source of the imaging device is received through the power operation switch, and
• in the third step,
• when the shooting operation switch is in the first state during the power source transitions from an OFF state to an ON state, the first shooting mode information is read from the memory, and the imaging device is activated in the first shooting mode indicated by the read first shooting mode information, and
• when the shooting operation switch is in the second state and the power source transitions from the OFF state to the ON state, the second shooting mode information is read from the memory, and the imaging device is activated in the second shooting mode indicated by the read second shooting mode information.
