Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, if all switch operations provided on the camera and flash unit are inhibited, an operation for interrupting the automatic bounce drive control being executed to perform a new automatic bounce drive control, for example, an operation of the power switch of the flash unit cannot be performed.
As a result, in order to perform new automatic reflex drive control, the user needs to wait for the termination of the automatic reflex drive control being executed, which causes a problem that the user-friendliness during the execution of the automatic reflex drive control decreases

Abstract

The invention relates to an image pickup apparatus, an image pickup system, an automatic irradiation direction control method, and a storage medium. An image pickup apparatus capable of preventing degradation of user-friendliness during execution of automatic bounce drive control. A strobe device can change an irradiation direction of light from a strobe head. The automatic bounce drive control determines an irradiation direction of the light based on a result of ranging of a target object, and drives the strobe head in the determined irradiation direction. When a switch unrelated to the automatic bounce drive control is operated during execution of the control, out of control related to an operation of the switch and the automatic bounce drive control, the automatic bounce drive control is preferentially executed, whereas when a switch related to the automatic bounce drive control is operated during execution of the control, out of the control related to an operation of the switch andthe automatic bounce drive control, control related to the operation of the switch is preferentially executed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an imaging device capable of automatic reflection drive control, an imaging system, an automatic irradiation direction control method and a storage medium. Background technique [0002] As a photographing method with a camera (imaging equipment) equipped with a flash unit, there is known a photographing method called bounce flash photography in which a flash is emitted toward a ceiling or the like and diffused by light from the ceiling or the like. Reflects light to illuminate the subject. Bounce flash photography makes it possible to illuminate a subject indirectly so that the subject can be photographed with soft light. [0003] Regarding bounce flash photography, automatic bounce drive control technology has been put into use as a technology for automatically enabling optimum bounce photography without requiring a user (photographer) to set an irradiation angle (bounce angle) of flash. In automatic bounce drive control, pr...
