Abstract
Provided are a digital image processing apparatus that detects a motion of a body, such as oscillation, shake, or velocity change of the body, to perform a photographing preparation operation, and a method of controlling the digital image processing apparatus. The digital image processing apparatus includes a motion sensor installed in the apparatus and configured to generate a signal in response to motion of the apparatus, and a controller receiving the motion signal, and controlling the digital image processing apparatus to perform a photographing preparation operation when the signal indicates that the motion is a photographing motion made in preparation of a user performing photography.
Claims20
A digital image processing apparatus including a body comprising:
- a motion sensor installed in the digital image processing apparatus and configured to generate a motion signal in response to motion of the body of the apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to receive the motion signal and generate a photographing preparation signal when the motion signal is determined to be movement of the body of the digital image processing apparatus;
- and
- wherein the digital image processing apparatus is configured to enter into a power-on state and perform a photographing preparation operation which includes operating a zoom lens barrel in response to the generated photographing preparation signal.
A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus having a body, the method comprising:
- in response to motion of the body of the apparatus, generating a motion signal;
- generating a photographing preparation signal when the generated motion signal is determined to be a movement of the body of the digital image processing apparatus;
- and
- when the photographing preparation signal is generated, entering the state of the digital image processing apparatus into a power-on state and performing a photographing preparation operation which includes operating a zoom lens barrel.
