Abstract
The invention relates to a portable electronic device (101) including at least one camera (102) and an orientation sensor (104) for determining the orientation of the camera. When the camera is oriented in a predetermined orientation, the camera is actuated such that at least one image or a video stream is captured.
Claims26
1-33. (canceled)
A camera including:
- a body;
- an image sensor for receiving an optical image created by the light and converting the optical image to image information in the form of an electrical signal;
- a memory in communication with the image sensor for storing the image information;
- an orientation sensor for determine the orientation of the lens with respect to the horizontal;
- and
- an actuator for automatically actuating the camera such that at least one image is captured and stored in the memory when the orientation of the lens with respect to the horizontal is equal to or passes through a predetermined angle.
