[0089] Figure 5A and Figure 5B This is a flowchart illustrating a schematic procedure of processing executed by the CPU 303 in the digital camera 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. By being executed by the CPU 303 Figure 5A and Figure 5B The processing procedure shown results in the control schematically shown below.

[0090] (1) When it is not detected that the digital camera 100 is in the water, or the digital camera 100 is not set to a shooting mode suitable for shooting underwater, even if the digital camera 100 is set to the tapping permission mode, the CPU 303 also stops the vibration detection operation in the vibration detection unit 400 when shifting to the standby state. As a result, even if a vibration by a tap operation or a vibration similar to the vibration by a tap operation is applied to the digital camera 100 in the standby state, recovery to the normal operation state is not performed.

[0116] Figure 6A and Figure 6B This is a flowchart illustrating a schematic procedure of processing executed by the CPU 303 in the digital camera 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. By being executed by the CPU 303 Figure 6A and Figure 6B The processing procedure shown results in the control schematically shown below.

[0117] (1) When the digital camera 100 is not detected to be underwater or is not set to a shooting mode suitable for shooting underwater, when the digital camera 100 is set to the tap operation permission mode When shifting to the standby state, the CPU 303 continues the vibration detection operation in the vibration detection unit 400 . At this time, the CPU 303 sets the vibration detection level to a value (Vref2) higher than the vibration detection level (Vref1) set in the normal operation state. As a result, even when vibrations similar to vibrations caused by tap operations are applied to the digital camera 100 in the...

Abstract

The invention provides a photographic device, which enables a photographic device that shifts from the normal action state to the power-saving holding state to resort to the normal action state easilyand inhibits the waste of power caused by unexpected restoration to the normal action state. A digital camera (100) capable of underwater shooting is structured by a water detection sensor (116) anda pressure sensor (112), which can judge whether the camera (100) is in water. The camera (100) has a knock operation permission mode, in which the action of the camera (100) varies based on the result of the vibration operation of the user detected by a vibration detection part (400). The structure can detect the vibration operation so as to enable the camera to resort to normal action state fromholding state. Therefore, when the camera (100) is not in water, even if the vibration operation is detected, the camera is not resorted to normal action state; when the camera is in water, the camera is resorted to normal action state when vibration operation is detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a photographing device, and more particularly to a photographing device having a user interface that can be operated by providing a vibration such as shaking or tapping a main body of the photographing device. Background technique [0002] Generally, operations such as mode switching of a camera are performed by a user operating an operation switch provided on the camera. However, as the miniaturization of cameras progresses, there may be insufficient space for arranging the above-mentioned operation switches. In order to solve this problem, Patent Document 1 discloses a camera that detects vibration applied to the camera and outputs the same command signal as when an operation switch is operated based on the detected vibration. [0003] In addition, among small-sized electronic devices such as cameras that use batteries as power sources to operate, there are electronic devices that adopt the following structure: for t...
