Abstract
A main subject is automatically determined, and the main subject is made flexibly changeable in accordance with the intention of the user. Provided is a control method of an imaging apparatus that includes identifying a main subject in image data that is to be used for a setting of an image capturing condition, and in a case where a field angle change operation equal to or larger than a predetermined amount has been performed, performing control in such a manner as to change processing for identifying a subject, depending on whether the subject is being followed.
Claims24
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging unit configured to generate image data by capturing an image of a subject;
- a setting unit configured to set an image capturing condition;
- an identification unit configured to identify a main subject in the image data that is to be used for a setting of the image capturing condition that is to be made by the setting unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to, in a case where a field angle change operation equal to or larger than a predetermined amount has been performed, perform control in such a manner as to change processing for identifying a subject, depending on whether the subject is being followed.
A control method of an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit configured to generate image data by capturing an image of a subject, the control method comprising:
- setting an image capturing condition;
- identifying a subject in the image data that is to be used for a setting of the image capturing condition;
- and
- in a case where a field angle change operation equal to or larger than a predetermined amount has been performed, performing control in such a manner as to change processing for identifying a subject, depending on whether the subject is being followed.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method of an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit configured to generate image data by capturing an image of a subject, the control method comprising:
- setting an image capturing condition;
- identifying a subject in the image data that is to be used for a setting of the image capturing condition;
- and
- in a case where a field angle change operation equal to or larger than a predetermined amount has been performed, performing control in such a manner as to change processing for identifying a subject, depending on whether the subject is being followed.
