Problems solved by technology

However, there is a delay of about 0.5 seconds from when the user wants to touch the display screen to when the user actually touches it. Therefore, when the subject is moving, the subject that the user wants may not exist in the touched area. body
In this case, even if the touched area is focused, there will be a problem of not focusing on the subject that the user wants

no. 1 Embodiment approach )

[0034] figure 1 (a) is a block diagram showing the main electrical configuration of the digital camera according to the first embodiment of the present invention. exist figure 1 In (a), the lens 1 is an optical lens for forming a subject image, and includes a focus lens, a zoom lens, and the like.

[0035] An imaging unit 3 including an imaging element 3A is disposed on the optical axis of the lens 1 and in the vicinity of forming a subject image. The imaging unit 3 photoelectrically converts a subject image by an imaging element, outputs image data in the form of a digital signal to the bus 11 , and inputs control signals and the like from the CPU 21 . In this embodiment, image data is output at 60 frames per second. Of course, it can also be more than 60 frames or less than 60 frames.

[0036] figure 1(b) shows a plurality of regions formed by dividing the imaging surface of the imaging element 3A. In the present embodiment, the imaging surface of the imaging element 3...

no. 2 Embodiment approach )

[0068] Next, use Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not there is a stationary subject in the touch area for a first predetermined period of time, and if the subject moves, the subject is tracked. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, it is also determined whether or not there is a subject that was stationary before a second predetermined time (first predetermined time

[0069] The structure in this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment figure 1 The shown block diagrams are the same, and detailed explanations are omitted. First, use Figure 6 The operation of this embodiment will be described. Should Figure 6 The illustrated example shows a tracking method in a case where there is a subject that has moved since the second predete...

no. 3 Embodiment approach )

[0083] Next, use Figure 7 to Figure 10 A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first and second embodiments, a subject that was present in the touch area before the first predetermined time corresponding to the delay time of the user's touch is tracked and controlled to be focused on. On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the subject that has been present in the touched area for the longest time is tracked and controlled to be focused on.

[0084] The structure in this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment figure 1 The illustrated block diagrams have the same configuration, and therefore detailed descriptions are omitted. First, use Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 The operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0085] exist Figure 9 In the illustrated example, time T0 indicates the time when the user touches touch panel section 17 . Time T25 is earlier than time T0 by a time corresponding to the first predeter...

Abstract

The invention provides a shooting device and a control method thereof. According to the invention, the focusing of a shot body can be realized, even when the shot body is moving after being touched. According to the control method of the shooting device, the shooting device can be used to display the image of the shot body on a display part 7, and can be used for detecting the touch operation on the display part 7. In the control method, a detection (S1) of the touch operation can be carried out. When the touch operation is carried out, the shot body in the area of the touch operation is in the static state or the dynamic state in the time period before the touch. When the shot body is determined to be in the dynamic state, the tracking of the shot body (S11), which is just disposed in the area of the touch operation, can be carried out, and the focusing of the area of the tracked shot body can be carried out, and then the shutter can be released.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a photographing device, and more specifically, to a photographing device capable of photographing when a display screen for live view display of a subject image is touched, and a control method for the photographing device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in imaging devices such as cameras, the shutter is released by operating an operating member such as a release button, but it has been proposed to release the shutter by touching a liquid crystal display screen (see Patent Document 1). In the camera disclosed in this patent document 1, in order to prevent shaking when the screen is touched, the shutter is released after a certain time delay from when the touch panel is touched. [0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-252427 [0004] When the shutter is released while the display screen is touched, if the touched area is focused, the user can focus on a subject desired by...
