Imaging apparatus and computer readable recording medium

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• moving picture capturing means for capturing a moving picture of a subject using an image capturing device;
• first display controlling means for displaying frame data captured in sequence by the moving picture capturing means on a display and for displaying a remarkable area on a predetermined position of the displayed frame data;
• a shutter button that is adapted to be pressed both halfway and fully;
• second display controlling means for, when the shutter button is pressed halfway, displaying the remarkable area at a position of the subject so as to track the subject with the remarkable area;
• trimming means for trimming the still image data captured by the still image capturing means;
• and
• third display controlling means for changing the position of the remarkable area from the position of the subject to the predetermined position when the halfway-press of the shutter button is released after the shutter button is pressed halfway;
• wherein the remarkable area indicates an area to be trimmed by the trimming means, and the trimming means trims the still image data based on the position of the remarkable area when the shutter button is fully pressed;
• and
• wherein when the subject goes out of a frame of the moving picture, the second display controlling means continuously displays the remarkable area on a position at which the subject was located immediately before going out of the frame.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program which is executable by a computer to cause the computer to operate an imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus including moving picture capturing means for capturing a moving picture of a subject using an image capturing device and a shutter button that is adapted to be pressed both halfway and fully, the program causing the computer to execute functions comprising:

• displaying frame data captured in sequence by the moving picture capturing means on a display and displaying a remarkable point on a predetermined position of the displayed frame data;
• displaying the remarkable point on a position of the subject so as to track the subject with the remarkable point when the shutter button is pressed halfway;
• displaying, on the display, a trimming frame which indicates an area for trimming;
• and
• changing the position of the remarkable point from the position of the subject to the predetermined position when the halfway-press of the shutter button is released after the shutter button is pressed halfway;
• wherein a display position of the trimming frame is updated such that the trimming frame tracks in accordance with the tracking of the subject;
• and
• wherein when the subject goes out of a frame of the moving picture, the remarkable point is continuously displayed on a position at which the subject was located immediately before going out of the frame.
