Claims

In a digital camera that records image information of a subject imaged by an image sensor on a recording medium,
Setting means for setting predetermined shooting conditions;
Detection means for detecting a plurality of movements with different movement directions or movement amounts of the camera body;
First selection means for allowing a user to select a movement of a camera body used for changing the predetermined photographing condition from a plurality of movements detectable by the detection means;
Control means for changing the predetermined photographing condition when the detection means detects a movement selected by the first selection means;
A digital camera characterized by comprising

The setting means sets each of a plurality of shooting conditions,
A second selection means for causing the user to select a shooting condition to be changed according to the movement of the camera body selected by the first selection means from the plurality of shooting conditions;
2. The control unit according to claim 1, wherein when the detection unit detects a movement selected by the first selection unit, the imaging condition selected by the second selection unit is changed. The digital camera described.

The detection means detects movement in a plurality of directions in the camera body.
The first selection means allows the user to select a direction of movement of the camera body used for changing the predetermined photographing condition from a plurality of directions of movement detected by the detection means,
3. The digital camera according to claim 2, wherein the control unit changes the predetermined photographing condition when the camera body moves in a direction selected by the first selection unit.

The detection means detects the amount of movement of the camera body,
The first selection means causes a user to set a ratio of a change amount of the predetermined photographing condition to a movement amount of the camera body,
The control means changes the predetermined photographing condition in accordance with a movement amount of the camera body so that the ratio set by the change amount setting means is obtained when the camera body moves. Item 4. The digital camera according to Item 3.

5. The digital camera according to claim 4, wherein the setting unit sets a shooting condition that is not selected by the second selection unit among the plurality of shooting conditions in accordance with a user's key operation. .

The control means changes shooting conditions when the movement amount of the camera body detected by the detection means is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and shoots when the movement amount of the camera body detected by the detection means is less than or equal to a predetermined value. 6. The digital camera according to claim 5, wherein the conditions are not changed.

7. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of shooting conditions include at least one shooting condition of zoom magnification, exposure time, and aperture value.

The movement in the specific direction of the camera body detected by the detection means is the back-and-forth movement of the camera body in the shooting direction, and the shooting condition to be changed corresponding to the movement is a change in zoom magnification. The digital camera according to claim 7.

The detection means includes a distance sensor that detects a separation distance between the camera body and the photographer, and detects a back-and-forth movement and a movement amount of the camera body based on a detection result of the distance sensor,
8. The digital camera according to claim 7 , wherein the control unit performs a zoom magnification setting process in accordance with the back-and-forth movement and movement amount of the camera body detected by the detection unit.

The detection means includes an acceleration sensor, and detects the start and stop of movement in the shooting direction of the camera body based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the control means starts and stops movement of the camera body in the shooting direction. 8. The digital camera according to claim 7, wherein a zoom magnification change start process and a change stop process are executed in response to the above.

The detection means includes an acceleration sensor, detects a moving speed of the camera body in the photographing direction based on a detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the control means performs a zoom magnification changing process at a speed corresponding to the moving speed. The digital camera according to claim 7 .

In a digital camera that records image information of a subject imaged by an image sensor on a recording medium,
Setting means for setting each of a plurality of shooting conditions;
Detecting means for detecting movement in a specific direction in the camera body;
A selection unit that allows a user to select a shooting condition to be changed according to the movement in the specific direction from a plurality of shooting conditions set by the setting unit;
Control means for changing the photographing condition selected by the selection means when the camera body moves in the specific direction;
A digital camera characterized by comprising

A change amount setting means for allowing a user to set a ratio of a change amount of the photographing condition selected by the selection means with respect to a movement amount of the camera body;
The control means determines the shooting condition selected by the selection means according to the amount of movement of the camera body so that the ratio is set by the change amount setting means when the camera body moves in the specific direction.
