Abstract
There is provided an imaging device including an imaging control unit that executes imaging control in first and second self-timer modes in which an automatic focusing process and an imaging process are executed in order after reception of an imaging start instruction. A first period from the reception of the imaging start instruction to execution of the automatic focusing process in the first self-timer mode is shorter than a second period from the reception of the imaging start instruction to execution of the automatic focusing process in the second self-timer mode.
Claims21
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a body including a hinge;
- a display part configured to move around the hinge;
- and
- a circuitry configured to:
- execute an automatic focusing process after an imaging instruction, and
- change an execution timing of the automatic focusing process between a first timing which is a time after a first period from the imaging instruction and a second timing which is a time after a second period from the imaging instruction based on a position of the display part,
- wherein the second period is longer than the first period, and
- wherein the position is a position in which the display part has moved 180 degrees from an initial position.
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a circuitry configured to:
- execute an automatic focusing process after an imaging instruction,
- determine a state of the body, and
- change an execution timing of the automatic focusing process between a first timing which is a time after a first period from the imaging instruction and a second timing which is a time after a second period from the imaging instruction based on the state of the body,
- wherein the second period is longer than the first period.
An imaging method comprising:
- executing, with an imaging apparatus, an automatic focusing process after an imaging instruction;
- and
- changing an execution timing of the automatic focusing process between a first timing which is a time after a first period from the imaging instruction and a second timing which is a time after a second period from the imaging instruction based on a position of a display part of the imaging apparatus,
- wherein the second period is longer than the first period, and
- wherein the position is a position in which the display part has moved 180 degrees from an initial position.
An imaging method comprising:
- executing, with an imaging apparatus, an automatic focusing process after an imaging instruction;
- determining, with a circuitry, a state of a body of the imaging apparatus;
- and
- changing an execution timing of the automatic focusing process between a first timing which is a time after a first period from the imaging instruction and a second timing which is a time after a second period from the imaging instruction based on the state of the body,
- wherein the second period is longer than the first period.
