Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes a shooting scene determining unit configured to determine a shooting scene, a selecting unit configured to select a bracket shooting from a plurality of bracket shootings which alter parameters in different ways from each other, based on the shooting scene determined by the shooting scene determining unit, and an image pickup unit configured to perform the bracket shooting selected by the selecting unit, and the selecting unit selects one type of bracket shooting even when the shooting scene determined by the shooting scene determining unit is suitable for at least two types of bracket shootings in the plurality of bracket shootings.
Claims19
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image pickup element;
- and
- a system controller configured to:
- determine a shooting scene by analyzing a moving image,
- select, based on the shooting scene, a bracket mode from a plurality of bracket modes, and
- perform the bracket mood using the image pickup element,
- wherein types of parameters altered by each of the bracket modes are different with each other, and the system controller selects one type of bracket mode even when the determined shooting scene is suitable for at least two types of bracket modes in the plurality of bracket modes.
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image pickup element;
- a system controller configured to determine a shooting scene by analyzing a moving image, and
- perform a bracket shooting based on the shooting scene using the image pickup element;
- and
- an image processor configured to generate a plurality of images by performing a plurality of types of bracket image processing on a shot image obtained by the bracket shooting.
A method of controlling an image pickup apparatus, the method comprising:
- a determination step of determining a shooting scene by analyzing a moving image;
- a selection step of selecting a bracket mode from a plurality of bracket modes based on the shooting scene determined in the determination step;
- and
- a shooting step of performing the bracket mode selected in the selection step;
- wherein types of parameters altered by each of the bracket modes are different with each other, and in the selection step, one type of bracket mode is selected even when the shooting scene determined in the determination step is suitable for at least two types of the bracket modes in the plurality of bracket modes.
A method of controlling an image pickup apparatus, the method comprising:
- a determination step of determining a shooting scene by analyzing a moving image;
- a shooting step of performing a bracket shooting, based on the shooting scene determined in the determination step;
- and
- an image processing step of generating a plurality of images by performing a plurality of types of bracket image processing on a shot image obtained in the shooting step.
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image pickup element;
- and
- a system controller configured to:
- determine a shooting scene,
- select, based on the shooting scene, a bracket mode from a plurality of bracket modes, and
- perform the bracket mode using the image pickup element,
- wherein types of parameters altered by each of the bracket modes are different with each other and, the system controller determines whether an object is a human, and changes a way to select the bracket mode in accordance with a result of the determination of whether the object is the human.
A method of controlling an image pickup apparatus, the method comprising:
- a determination step of determining a shooting scene;
- a selection step of selecting a bracket mode from a plurality of bracket modes, based on the shooting scene determined in the determination step;
- and
- a shooting step of performing the bracket mode selected in the selection step,
- wherein types of parameters altered by each of the bracket modes are different with each other and, in the determination step, whether an object is a human is determined, and in the selection step, a way to select the bracket mode is changed in accordance with a result of the determination of whether the object is the human.
