AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing imaging devices fail to optimally select a recording medium based on both power supply status and temperature, leading to potential premature shutdown due to temperature or power constraints.
Method used
An imaging device that includes temperature and power detection mechanisms to predict potential shutdowns from temperature or power depletion, and controls the recording medium selection to extend operating time by prioritizing either an internal or external storage unit based on these factors.
Benefits of technology
The device effectively extends operating time by intelligently selecting a recording medium, balancing temperature and power consumption to prevent premature shutdown.

Abstract
To select a recording medium of a recording destination so that an operation time of an imaging apparatus becomes longer according to a state of a power supplied to the imaging apparatus and a temperature of the imaging apparatus.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus includes: detection means of detecting an internal temperature of the imaging apparatus; acquisition means of acquiring a remaining capacity of a power supply configured to supply a power to the imaging apparatus; prediction means of predicting whether the imaging apparatus stops when the power is not supplied to the imaging apparatus or the imaging apparatus stops when the internal temperature of the imaging apparatus reaches a limit temperature, based on a first time until the internal temperature of the imaging apparatus reaches the limit temperature at which an operation of the imaging apparatus stops and a second time during which the imaging apparatus can operate due to the remaining capacity; and control means of controlling whether to record an image captured by the imaging apparatus in a first storage unit inside the imaging apparatus or to record an image in an external second storage unit operated by the power supply from the imaging apparatus, based on prediction by the prediction means at a predetermined timing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2A
