no. 1 approach

[0024] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a digital camera equipped with a still picture recording function in video recording according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, the image acquisition unit 1 has an imaging lens 101 , a zoom drive unit 102 , and an LPF 103 . The imaging lens 101 is an optical system having a zoom function, and the zoom driving unit 102 has a stepping motor and the like which are controlled by the driver 3 and drive the imaging lens 101 . In addition, information on whether or not the driving unit 102 is driven is sequentially output to the control unit 5 . LPF103 is a crystal low-pass filter, which is installed to prevent ripples.

[0025] An analog signal processing unit 2 including an imaging sensor 201 such as a CCD or CMOS, a sampling / signal processing unit 202 , and an AD converter 203 is disposed in a subsequent stage of the image obtaining unit 1 . The imaging sensor 201 converts the intensities of ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0038] Figure 4 It is a flowchart showing the processing procedure in the second embodiment of the present invention. In this flowchart, steps S201 to S203 and S205 to S209 excluding step S204 are the same as those shown in the first embodiment. image 3 The same processing as steps S101 to S108 except step S106 in the flowchart of FIG. Further, in step S204 added in this embodiment, 500 msec is counted by the clock counted by the clock unit 501, and the still image shooting is performed when 500 msec elapses from the user finishing the zoom operation (step S205).

[0039] That is, immediately after the zoom operation is completed, there is a possibility that the user's finger may operate, and when a still picture is captured at this moment, there is a possibility that the still picture may shake. Therefore, by shooting a still picture 500 msec after the end of the zoom operation is detected, the possibility of camera shake in the stored still picture can be eliminated. . ...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0042] Figure 5 It is a flowchart showing the processing procedure in the third embodiment of the present invention. In this flowchart, steps S301 to S303 and S305 to S309 excluding step S304 are the same as those shown in the second embodiment. Figure 4 The same processing as steps S201 to S209 except step S205 in the flowchart of FIG. And, in the only different step S305, continuous shooting of still pictures is performed.

[0043] That is, image data is stored in the image buffer memory 12 every predetermined timing from the time when 500 msec elapses from the end of the zoom operation by the user, and a predetermined number of still image data are stored. After that, a still picture file composed of the plurality of still image data or a still picture file of each still picture data is generated (step S306), and the generated still picture file is stored in the still picture storage unit 172 (step S307) .

[0044] Therefore, in this embodiment, a plurality of still i...

Abstract

The present invention relates a camera device which shoots in the cartoon photography and stores the static picture, a method for controlling the camera device and a photograph control program, wherein, the camera device comprises the following components: a camera (1); a cartoon storing indicating device (132) which indicates storing the picture shot by the camera as cartoon; a static picture storing indicating device (131) which indicates storing the picture shot by the camera as the static picture; a variation indicating device (134) which indicates the magnification variation of the shot picture in the period that the shooting storing indicating device executes the cartoon storing; and a cancellation device (5) which cancels the indication of the static picture storing indicating device when the image magnification is altered according to the indication of the indicating device. The invention can be used for preventing the generation of shake in the static picture photography of the cartoon photography.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device that captures and stores still pictures during video photography, a control method of the imaging device, and a shooting control program. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, there are imaging devices having a still picture shooting function or a zoom function in video photography. As a processing method applied to this imaging device, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-135797, a still image stored during movie shooting is output. [0003] However, in order to store still pictures during moving picture shooting as described above, it is necessary to operate the shutter key for still picture shooting. Existing video photography devices assume that the user holds the device body with one hand, and performs shooting start and end operations in this holding state. When the shutter button is arranged, it is not assumed that a still picture is taken at the position of the shu...
