The instruction from the change instruction unit does not indicate content of the change in the shooting parameters, but instructs execution of the change. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing device comprising: a Central Processing Unit (CPU) configured to: cause shooting parameters to be stored in a memory; detect an instruction to change the shooting parameters; and change, in response to the detected instruction, the shooting parameters without relying on a surrounding environment, wherein the detected instruction does not indicate content of the change in the shooting parameters, but instructs execution of the change, and wherein the CPU is configured to decide an amount of change of the shooting parameters according to a length of an operation time, a strength of an operation, or a direction of the operation in a change instruction operation by a user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein pre-change shooting parameters stored by the memory are shooting parameters configured according to the surrounding environment. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the detected instruction to change the shooting parameters is based on the change instruction operation by the user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to decide how much to change the shooting parameters according to the change instruction operation by the user. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to detect the instruction to change the shooting parameters if an imaging operation is conducted a designated number of operations or more with same composition. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to change the shooting parameters on the basis of a random number. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to change the shooting parameters on the basis of learned data. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to change the shooting parameters on the basis of preconfigured emergency shooting parameters. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the shooting parameters are at least one of shutter speed, aperture, EV shift, ISO sensitivity, exposure mode, white balance, color emphasis, chroma, contrast, sharpness, or ON/OFF of a flash. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to change at least one shooting parameter from among a plurality of shooting parameters. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to notify a user of changed content of the shooting parameters. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to conduct processing to revert changed shooting parameters to the shooting parameters stored by the memory. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to: conduct imaging on the basis of changed shooting parameters; and transmit the shooting parameters to another information processing device according to a user rating for a captured image that was imaged. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to: transmit a request signal to another information processing device; receive shooting parameters in response to the request signal; and instruct an imaging unit to conduct imaging on the basis of the received shooting parameters. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, having stored thereon, a set of instructions for causing a computer to execute steps comprising: storing shooting parameters; detecting an instruction to change the shooting parameters; and in response to the detected instruction to change the shooting parameters, changing the shooting parameters without relying on a surrounding environment, wherein the detected instruction to change the shooting parameters does not indicate content of the change in the shooting parameters, but instructs execution of the change, and wherein the set of instructions cause the computer to decide an amount of change of the shooting parameters according to a length of an operation time, a strength of an operation, or a direction of the operation in a change instruction operation by a user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is configured to change the shooting parameters according to a strength of a degree of shaking of the information processing device.
