Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in existing imaging devices such as the imaging device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when photographing a fast-moving subject, if the movement is so fast that the operator is difficult to track, the moving object will leave the shooting range and cannot be captured. The problem of taking pictures of the moving object

Abstract

There is provided an image capturing apparatus and method capable of preventing frame-out of a moving object even when a fast-moving object is photographed. The image capturing apparatus comprises: an image capturing unit that obtains image data by capturing an object; a moving object detecting unit that detects a moving object to be tracked based on the image data obtained with the image capturing unit; a tracking frame setting unit that sets an area portion which includes the moving object in the image data as a tracking frame when the moving object is detected by the moving object detecting unit; a display frame setting unit that sets an area which is shifted from the tracking frame in the image data in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the moving object as a display frame; and a display processing unit that displays the image data which is included in the display frame on a display unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device and an imaging method. Background technique [0002] There is known an imaging device equipped with a framing assistance function that specifies the position, size, etc. of a frame when capturing a subject, that is, assists in framing (see Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of using the random access property of the imaging sensor to switch between extracting a panoramic image read by the imaging element and reading a close-up image by reading only a part of the imaging element, and switching the imaging sensor to each other. Partial panoramic images, close-up images. [0004] According to the technique disclosed in this patent document 1, a close-up image is recorded while a panoramic image is displayed. Therefore, even if the image sensor becomes ultra-high resolution in the future, the photographable area and its surrounding conditions can be displayed on the view...
