Abstract

In image shooting using a self timer on an apparatus, the apparatus allows a user to control continuous shooting of a plurality of frames of images according to the user's desire. In image shooting using a self timer on the apparatus, the apparatus changes a timing of starting image shooting by self timer for a second image and beyond to be continuously shot according to detected faces of persons. The apparatus notifies the user that the timing for starting the image shooting by self timer is currently calculated. With this configuration, the user can control the timing of shooting images by continuous shooting. Accordingly, the user convenience in using the apparatus in shooting a plurality of frames of images of variable attitudes and objects is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an imaging device and a method for controlling the imaging device. In particular, the present invention relates to a technique for controlling shooting timing based on the result of face detection. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in order to realize a self-timer more useful than a Selfie function using a fixed timing value when taking a Selfie, a method for controlling shutter timing according to user's desire has been discussed. More specifically, conventional camera devices are able to start taking selfies when a person's face is detected. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-254358 discusses a method of detecting a person's face from captured image data, and starting a selfie when it is determined that the detected face is not swaying. Therefore, this method enables to control the shutter timing according to the user's desire. [0003] Assume that an imaging apparatus capable of controlling shutter...
