Imaging apparatus, method of controlling the same, and computer program

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• an imaging unit that respectively generates, with imaging devices different from one another, a first captured image with a specific direction of a subject set in a longitudinal direction, a second captured image with an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the specific direction set in a longitudinal direction and including a subject adjacent to one side of the orthogonal direction of the subject included in the first captured image, and a third captured image with the orthogonal direction set in a longitudinal direction and including a subject adjacent to the other side of the orthogonal direction of the subject included in the first captured image;
• an operation receiving unit that receives instruction operation for instructing a change of an imaging range;
• a control unit that determines, on the basis of the received instruction operation, a range of a target image as a target of display or recording among the first to third captured images generated by the imaging unit.
• a first housing including the imaging unit;
• a second housing including a display unit that displays the target image;
• and
• a pivoting member that pivotably couples the first housing and the second housing,
• wherein the operation receiving unit receives, as the instruction operation, a pivoting state of the second housing with respect to the first housing.

A method of controlling an imaging apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• detecting a state of the imaging apparatus;
• and
• determining, on the basis of the detected state, a range of a target image as a target of display or recording among a first captured image generated by a first imaging device with a specific direction of a subject set in a longitudinal direction, a second captured image that is a captured image with an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the specific direction set in a longitudinal direction and generated by a second imaging device to include a subject adjacent to one side of the orthogonal direction of the subject included in the first captured image, and a third captured image that is a captured image with the orthogonal direction set in a longitudinal direction and generated by a third imaging device to include a subject adjacent to the other side of the orthogonal direction of the subject included in the first captured image,
• wherein the state of the imaging apparatus is a pivoting state of a second housing including a display device that displays the target image with respect to a first housing including the imaging devices.

A non-transitory medium storing a computer program which when executed causes a computer to execute:

• a detecting procedure for detecting a state of the imaging apparatus;
• and
• a control procedure for determining, on the basis of the detected state, a range of a target image as a target of display or recording among a first captured image generated by a first imaging device with a specific direction of a subject set in a longitudinal direction, a second captured image that is a captured image with an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the specific direction set in a longitudinal direction and generated by a second imaging device to include a subject adjacent to one side of the orthogonal direction of the subject included in the first captured image, and a third captured image that is a captured image with the orthogonal direction set in a longitudinal direction and generated by a third imaging device to include a subject adjacent to the other side of the orthogonal direction of the subject included in the first captured image,
• wherein the state of the imaging apparatus is a pivoting state of a second housing including a display device that displays the target image with respect to a first housing including the imaging devices.
