AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional imaging devices require time to return to an imaging-capable state after a wireless connection condition occurs when powered off, due to wireless communication being performed upon user operation.
Method used
The imaging device includes communication means that allows wireless communication when powered off, with control means managing power-off states to accept user operations on a limited set of operating members, excluding communication with external devices in certain power-off states.
Benefits of technology
This approach significantly shortens the time required to return to an imaging-capable state by minimizing unnecessary communication processes when the device is powered off.

Abstract
The present invention provides an imaging device that performs wireless communication when the power is off, thereby shortening the time required to return to an image-capable state. [Solution] The imaging device according to the present disclosure includes: communication means for communicating with an external device of the imaging device; a plurality of operating members including a power switching member for switching the power of the imaging device on and off; and control means for controlling the communication means to not communicate with the external device in a first power-off state in which the communication means communicates with the external device, and in a second power-off state in which the communication means communicates with the external device, and the communication means does not communicate with the external device in a second number of operating members greater than the first number, including the power switching member.
