Description

  The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus that generates and records a plurality of image data having different recording formats during shooting, and a control method therefor.

  In a digital video camera, RAW video shooting is a method in which image data output from an image sensor and subjected to A / D conversion is directly recorded as a video file on a storage medium without image processing (development processing). is there. On the other hand, in a digital video camera, there is a general format moving image shooting in which image processing (development processing) is performed on image data output from an image sensor and subjected to A / D conversion, and recorded on a storage medium as a general format. Specific recording formats include MOV and MP4. Here, image processing is based on the attribute information acquired by the camera at the time of shooting and the characteristics of the image information itself, such as Debayer processing, image interpolation processing, white balance processing, brightness adjustment processing, color adjustment processing, sharpness processing, etc. It refers to performing image processing and further compression processing.

The following two can be cited as features of the RAW moving image.
-Since compression processing is not performed, the file size is very large compared to general-purpose format movies.
Even if it is desired to apply image processing to a developed general-purpose format moving image, only a certain range can be obtained. However, if it is a RAW moving image, advanced image processing can be performed with parameters set by the user.

  If you keep shooting with RAW, the capacity of the storage media will be limited, so it will soon be full of data. Therefore, the user can shoot the unimportant scene with a general-purpose moving image and use the important scene with a RAW moving image.

  In Patent Document 1, although there are no moving image types such as general-purpose format moving images and RAW moving images, one type of moving image shooting has two modes of low image quality shooting and high image quality shooting. And the example which uses these two photography modes properly by whether it is an important scene is disclosed.

  However, in the method of using different shooting, if you want to take a RAW movie while shooting in the general format movie, stop shooting the general format movie, then switch to the RAW movie shooting mode and start shooting the RAW movie Had to do. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-228561, while shooting moving images with low image quality at all times, only important scenes are shot with high-quality moving images. However, there is a problem that low-quality shooting stops during shooting with high image quality.

In order to solve the above problems, an imaging apparatus according to the present invention provides:
In an imaging apparatus having RAW moving image recording means for recording RAW data taken out from an optical sensor, and general-purpose format moving image recording means for developing the RAW data and recording a general-purpose format moving image,
A first recording means for recording only with the general-purpose format moving image during shooting; a trigger detection means for detecting a first trigger;
When the first trigger is detected during recording by the first recording means, the second recording means for recording the RAW moving image together with the recording of the general format moving image is performed,
When a second trigger is detected during recording by the second recording means, the second recording means is terminated and the process returns to the first recording means.

  According to the imaging apparatus of the present invention, a general-purpose moving image is recorded during shooting, but important scenes desired by the user can be recorded together with the general-purpose moving image as well as a high-quality RAW moving image.

  Reference numeral 204 denotes a shutter button. When the user presses the shutter button at the timing of imaging, the CPU 105 determines that an imaging instruction has been issued, and the CPU 105 digitally converts information imaged on the optical sensor 101 and stores it in the removable medium 103 as image data. Record. Reference numeral 205 denotes a mode switch. The modes include an imaging mode that accepts an imaging operation from a user and a playback mode that accepts an image reproduction operation from a user. When the user slides the switch to the left, the CPU 105 determines that the mode has been switched to the shooting mode. When the user slides the switch to the right, the CPU 105 determines that the mode has been switched to the reproduction mode.

  Reference numeral 206 denotes a direction button. When the playback mode is selected with the mode switch 205, the CPU 105 displays an image recorded on the removable medium 103 on the liquid crystal screen 203. By pressing the direction button, the CPU 105 sequentially displays the images recorded on the removable medium 103 on the liquid crystal screen 203 in the forward or backward direction.

  In order to simplify the description of the first embodiment, it is assumed that the recording of the general-purpose format moving image cannot be completed during the recording of the RAW moving image.

[Movie recording method]
Hereinafter, a general format moving image and a raw moving image recording method in the imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a flow of moving image recording processing as the imaging apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  Reference numeral 301 denotes an optical sensor. In the optical sensor, the light receiving element converts light into an electrical signal. A unit 302 performs A / D conversion processing. Since the electrical signal obtained from the optical sensor is analog, it is converted into a digital signal that can be used in a digital circuit by quantization. A unit 303 performs development processing. Development processing is performed on an image formed from the optical sensor through A / D conversion processing. The development processing refers to Debayer processing, pixel interpolation processing, white balance processing, luminance adjustment processing, color adjustment processing, sharpness processing, and the like.

  A unit 304 performs an encoding process. The encoding process refers to performing a compression process to reduce the data amount while maintaining the image quality for the developed image. Reference numeral 305 denotes a storage medium X. The generated general format moving image is recorded here. Reference numeral 306 denotes a storage medium Y. The generated RAW moving image is recorded here.

  Reference numeral 307 denotes a switch SW. If SW307 is in an OFF state ((A) in FIG. 3), since the A / D conversion unit and the storage medium Y are not connected, RAW moving image recording is not performed. If the SW 307 is in an ON state ((B) in FIG. 3), since the A / D conversion unit and the storage medium Y are connected, RAW moving image recording is performed.

  At the time of general-purpose format moving image recording, an electrical signal obtained from light by the light receiving element of the optical sensor 301 is stored in the storage medium X305 through each process of the A / D conversion unit 302, the developing unit 303, and the encoding unit 304. At the time of RAW moving image recording, an electrical signal obtained from light by the light receiving element of the optical sensor 301 is stored in the storage medium Y306 in a state of data that is still converted by the A / D conversion unit 302.

  Therefore, if the SW 307 is in the OFF state as shown in FIG. 3A, only the general format moving image is recorded. If the switch SW 307 is in the ON state as shown in FIG. The recording of the format moving image and the RAW moving image is performed in parallel.
