Problems solved by technology

Also, even when the digital camera is located indoors, it may be possible to measure the position depending on the situation. Moreover, in the case of using a commercial power supply, the position measurement operation is disabled regardless of the situation where the position measurement operation can be performed without worrying about wasting power. , which is considered to contradict the control
[0015] In addition, adding special components such as a colorimetric sensor for detecting color temperature will lead to an increase in the size of the digital camera itself and an increase in manufacturing costs

Abstract

A digital camera includes: a shooting unit for shooting a subject and generating an image signal; a recording unit for recording on a recording medium image data based on the image signal obtained by the shooting unit; a shooting mode selection unit for selecting and setting a shooting mode for setting a shooting condition under which the subject is shot by the shooting unit; a positioning unit for locating the position thereof by receiving a plurality of signals transmitted from a plurality of signal sources; a power supply for supplying electric power to at least the shooting unit, the recording unit, and the positioning unit; and a control unit for controlling the operation of the positioning unit in accordance with the shooting mode selected and set by the shooting mode selection unit, and for controlling the electric power supplied from the power supply to the positioning unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a digital camera, in particular to a digital camera with a positioning function, which receives a plurality of signals sent from a plurality of signal sources to determine its own position. Background technique [0002] So-called digital cameras and other imaging devices that have been widely used in the past are configured to use a photoelectric conversion element such as an imaging element to perform photoelectric conversion processing on an optical image formed by an imaging optical system, thereby obtaining an optical image of a desired object as an electrical image signal. , and the image signal can be recorded as digital data. [0003] In addition, among conventional photographing devices such as digital cameras, devices having a structure having a positioning unit for measuring position information and capable of recording data obtained by the positioning unit in association with image data acquired by the photog...
