Abstract
An apparatus comprises an image processing circuit capable of applying development processing to RAW data obtained by a sensor. The apparatus has a non-development mode and a development mode as operation modes, the non-development mode being a mode in which the apparatus records the RAW data into a storage device without applying the development processing to the RAW data, and the development mode being a mode in which the apparatus applies the development processing to a plurality of the RAW data recorded into the storage device during when the apparatus operated in the non-development mode. The apparatus operates in the non-development mode or the development mode in accordance with a setting.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor;
- an image processing circuit capable of applying development processing to RAW data obtained by the sensor;
- and
- one or more processors that execute a program stored in a memory and thereby function as a control unit configured to control operation of the apparatus,
- wherein the apparatus has a non-development mode and a development mode as operation modes, the non-development mode being a mode in which the apparatus records the RAW data into a storage device without applying the development processing to the RAW data, and the development mode being a mode in which the apparatus applies the development processing to a plurality of the RAW data recorded into the storage device during when the apparatus operated in the non-development mode, and
- wherein the control unit causes the apparatus to operate in the non-development mode or the development mode in accordance with which operation mode is set to the apparatus.
A method for an apparatus, the apparatus including a sensor and an image processing circuit capable of applying development processing to RAW data obtained by the sensor, the method comprising:
- causing, in accordance with which operation mode is set to the apparatus, the apparatus to operate either in:
- a non-development mode in which the apparatus records the RAW data into a storage device without applying the development processing to the RAW data, or
- a development mode in which the apparatus applies the development processing to a plurality of the RAW data recorded into the storage device during when the apparatus operated in the non-development mode.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a computer of an apparatus to execute a method for an apparatus, the apparatus including a sensor and an image processing circuit capable of applying development processing to RAW data obtained by the sensor, the method comprising:
- causing, in accordance with which operation mode is set to the apparatus, the apparatus to operate either in:
- a non-development mode in which the apparatus records the RAW data into a storage device without applying the development processing to the RAW data, or
- a development mode in which the apparatus applies the development processing to a plurality of the RAW data recorded into the storage device during when the apparatus operated in the non-development mode.
