Imaging device and imaging method

Abstract

An imaging device and an imaging method are provided. The imaging device for taking and storing movies and still pictures, comprises an imaging section (11) which performs photoelectric conversion on an incoming optical image, and applies processing to output signals of the incoming optical image to acquire image data; a microcomputer (25) which controls the exposure of the imaging section (11), and controls the shooting of the optical image. In the imaging device, the microcomputer (25), while taking still pictures while shooting a movie, carries out exposure by dividing a time (t4-t5) corresponding to a single frame of the movie into a plurality of times, applies processing by the imaging section (11) to acquire a plurality of image data, performs positional alignment of the subject image of the plurality of image data and combines a plurality of image data, and stores as still picture data, and combines a plurality of image data without carrying out positional alignment of the subject image of the priority of image data and stores as a single frame of the movie data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device having a function of still image shooting during moving image shooting. Background technique [0002] In recent years, imaging devices having a function of capturing still images during video photography have been proposed. In addition, there have been proposed imaging devices that reduce camera shake within a frame rate in movie shooting. For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 2009-77272 (published on April 9, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as patent document)) discloses an imaging device that performs normal exposure within a moving image frame and compares the Usually, the short exposure time is used to expose both sides and shoot, and any one of the exposures is used according to the amount of shake in the frame rate to form a moving image. [0003] As an example of using a touch panel in a digital camera, there are, for example, the aforementioned patent documents. In this patent document, t...

Problems solved by technology

However, since a still image is used as a part of a moving image, the fluency of the moving image deteriorates only when the frame rate of the jitter is reduced.

Also, shorten the frame rate sensitization of the exposure time and set it to an appropriate exposure, but at this time the noise increases

Therefore, there is also a problem that the image quality of still images deteriorates.
