AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
Existing imaging devices struggle with controlling the imaging range to prevent unwanted areas from being captured, especially when using cropping functions, leading to unintended display of areas outside the desired cropping area.
⚗Method used
An imaging device with a control system that adjusts the imaging direction and range based on the position and size of the cropped area, setting a control range to prevent unwanted areas from being captured, and automatically recalculating this range when cropping area settings change.
🎯Benefits of technology
Enables precise control over the imaging range to prevent unwanted areas from being captured, allowing users to define the imaging permission range without manual intervention, even when cropping area settings change.

Abstract
The present invention provides an imaging device that allows for controllable settings of the imaging range while preventing unwanted areas from being captured. [Solution] An imaging device comprising: an imaging means; a direction changing means capable of changing the imaging direction in the imaging means; a control means for setting a first range as the control range of the direction changing means; and when a cropped area, which is a region cut out from a part of the imaging area currently being imaged, is set, the control means sets the first range according to the position and size of the cropped area.
