Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for enabling shooting without blurring.

Conventionally, an imaging device such as a digital camera has a camera shake detection unit that detects camera shake. When a photographer presses the shutter button, camera shake detection is started, and the amount of camera shake is allowed based on the detection result. It is known that the blurring of the captured image is suppressed by predicting the timing within the range and starting shooting (actual exposure) at the predicted timing (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-48681

However, when the photographer depresses the shutter button, camera shake always occurs with the depressing operation, and the amount of blur after the depressing operation of the shutter button is relatively large. Therefore, when shooting is performed using the shutter button pressing operation as a trigger, it is difficult to obtain a photographed image without blurring due to camera shake caused by the pressing operation of the shutter button. However, there is a problem that it takes time until the actual photographing because the photographing is actually performed after the hand shake accompanying the movement is settled.

It is desirable that the shooting be performed after the notification by the shooting start notification means.
According to this desirable configuration, since the photographer and the subject are notified that the photographing is performed before the actual photographing is performed, the actual photographing execution timing is determined by the person who becomes the photographer and the subject. Can be surely recognized, and unexpected photographing can be prevented.

In the above invention, the non-contact operation is further provided with a shootable state notifying unit for notifying that the shootable state is obtained when the amount of blur detected by the blur amount detecting unit is equal to or less than the blur threshold. The detection means starts detection of a non-contact operation indicating a shooting instruction when the shooting enabled state is notified by the shooting enabled state notification means, and the shooting means receives the shooting instruction by the non-contact operation detection means. A configuration that performs imaging when detected is desirable.
According to this desirable configuration, the photographer can perform photographing at a desired timing when there is no shake.

The audio output unit 90 includes a speaker 90A, an amplifier circuit (not shown), a D / A converter, and the like. From the audio output unit 90, a shooting timing at which shooting is actually started by the shooting unit 20 is set. A shooting start notification sound for notification is output to the photographer and the subject.

  Here, the digital camera 10 according to the present embodiment is detected by the angular velocity detection unit 50 and the normal shooting mode in which shooting is started when the photographer presses the shutter button 41a as the shooting mode for shooting a still image. The camera has at least two shooting modes including a camera shake suppression shooting mode that starts shooting based on the amount of camera shake, and these shooting modes are configured to be selectable by the photographer by operating the operation unit 40. The operation when the mode is selected will be described with reference to FIG.

When the camera shake suppression shooting mode is selected by the photographer, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 60 first starts energizing the X-axis and Y-axis gyro sensors 51 and 52 of the angular velocity detection unit 50 and The angular velocity detection unit 50 is activated (step Sa1), and then the control unit 60 performs the following process in order to capture a still image without blurring.

  That is, the control unit 60 causes the angular velocity detection unit 50 to start angular velocity detection, and starts detecting the amount of camera shake Q based on the angular velocity detection signal output from the angular velocity detection unit 50 (step Sa2). Next, the control unit 60 determines whether or not the camera shake amount Q is less than a camera shake threshold Th indicating that still image shooting that is difficult to visually recognize (not noticeable) can be performed (step Sa3), and not lower. In the case (step Sa3: No), the processing procedure is returned to step Sa3 to wait for the shake to disappear. At this time, if a camera shake amount equal to or greater than the camera shake threshold Th is detected, it is desirable that there is a camera shake or that the camera shake amount is displayed on the display unit 30 to alert the photographer.

  On the other hand, when the camera shake amount Q is less than the threshold value Th (step S3: Yes), the control unit 60 outputs the sound output to notify the photographer and the subject that the shooting is actually started. After a shooting start notification sound for notifying the start of shooting such as “High, Cheese” is output from the unit 90 (Step Sa4), the shooting unit 20 is controlled to start and execute still image shooting (Step Sa5). Exit.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since shooting is performed when the blur amount Q is equal to or less than the blur threshold Th, it is not necessary for the photographer to press the shutter button during shooting. As a result, it is possible to perform shooting without the influence of camera shake due to the pressing operation of the shutter button. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the photographer and the subject are notified that the photographing is performed before the actual photographing is performed, the actual photographing execution timing is determined as the photographer and the subject. It is possible to reliably recognize the person who has become, and to prevent unexpected shooting.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment described above, the digital camera 10 configured to automatically perform shooting at the timing when the camera shake amount Q becomes equal to or less than the shake threshold Th has been described. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a digital camera 10 </ b> A that performs shooting when a shooting instruction is issued from the photographer will be described.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the digital camera 10A according to this embodiment. The digital camera 10A includes a voice input unit 95 and is different from the digital camera 10 of the first embodiment described above in that the control unit 60 has a voice recognition function.
More specifically, the voice input unit 95 acquires a photographer's voice and outputs it to the control unit 60, and includes an A / D converter (not shown) in addition to a microphone 95A serving as a sound collector. .
The flash ROM 62 of the control unit 60 stores a voice recognition program 150 for causing the CPU 61 to function as voice recognition means.
Under such a configuration, in the camera shake suppression shooting mode, the control unit 60 performs shooting that indicates a shooting instruction by the photographer, such as “I'll turn it off”, out of the voice input from the voice input unit 95. The instruction voice is recognized, and shooting is performed using the shooting instruction voice as a trigger.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the camera shake suppression shooting mode is selected by the photographer, the control unit 60 first starts energizing the X-axis and Y-axis gyro sensors 51 and 52 of the angular velocity detection unit 50. Then, the angular velocity detection unit 50 is set in the standby state (step Sb1), and then the voice recognition program 150 is executed to start recognition of the voice input from the voice input unit 95 (step Sb2). Thereafter, the control unit 60 determines whether or not a shooting instruction voice by the photographer such as “I will turn it off” has been input (step Sb3), and if no shooting instruction voice has been input (step Sb3: No), The control unit 60 returns the processing procedure to step Sb3 to wait for the photographing instruction voice input by the photographer. When the shooting instruction voice is input (step Sb3: Yes), the control unit 60 executes the following process to shoot a still image without blur.

  That is, the control unit 60 executes the processing shown in Steps Sb4 to Sb7 to shoot a still image at the timing when the camera shake amount Q becomes equal to or less than the shake threshold Th, and then inputs the next shooting instruction sound. In order to accept, the processing procedure is returned to step Sb3. In addition, each process of these step Sb4-step Sb7 respond | corresponds with each process of step Sa2-step Sa5 demonstrated in 1st Embodiment, and in order to avoid duplication description, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since shooting is performed based on the input of the shooting instruction sound indicating the shooting instruction instead of the pressing operation of the shutter button 41a, camera shake caused by the pressing operation of the shutter button 41a is performed. Shooting without influence is possible. In addition, according to the present embodiment, since shooting is performed when the blur amount Q is equal to or less than the blur threshold th, it is possible to reliably take a shot image in which blur is difficult to be recognized.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since the angular velocity detection unit 50 starts detecting the shake amount Q using the input of the shooting instruction voice as a trigger, the time during which the angular velocity detection unit 50 operates unnecessarily is reduced, thereby saving power. Is planned.
Further, according to the present embodiment, since the photographer and the subject are notified that the photographing is performed before the actual photographing is performed, the actual photographing execution timing is determined as the photographer and the subject. It is possible to reliably recognize the person who has become, and to prevent unexpected shooting.

(Third embodiment)
In the second embodiment described above, the digital cameras 10 and 10A configured to start the detection of the shake amount Q when the photographer inputs the shooting instruction sound have been described. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the digital camera 10 configured to start the detection of the shake amount Q prior to the shooting instruction input by the photographer in the camera shake suppression shooting mode will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the photographing process according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, when the camera shake suppression shooting mode is selected by the photographer, the control unit 60 first starts energizing the X-axis and Y-axis gyro sensors 51 and 52 of the angular velocity detection unit 50 to After starting the angular velocity detection unit 50 (step Sc1), the angular velocity detection unit 50 starts detecting angular velocity and starts detecting the amount of camera shake Q based on the angular velocity detection signal output from the angular velocity detection unit 50 (step Sc2). ). Next, the control unit 60 determines whether or not the camera shake amount Q is less than or equal to the shake threshold Th (step Sc3). If not less than the shake threshold Th (step Sc3: No), the control unit 60 waits for the shake to disappear. Therefore, the processing procedure is returned to step Sc3. On the other hand, when the camera shake amount Q is equal to or less than the camera shake threshold Th (step Sc3: Yes), the control unit 60 notifies the photographer by voice or display that the camera is ready to shoot a still image without shaking. (Step Sc4), the voice recognition program 150 is executed to start recognition of the voice input from the voice input unit 95 (Step Sc5).

  Thereafter, the control unit 60 determines whether or not a shooting instruction voice by the photographer such as “I will turn it off” has been input (step Sc6). If no shooting instruction voice has been input (step Sc6: No), The control unit 60 returns the processing procedure to step Sc6 in order to wait for the photographing instruction voice input by the photographer. When the shooting instruction voice is input (step Sc6: Yes), the control unit 60 outputs a shooting start notification voice for notifying the start of shooting such as “high, cheese” from the voice output unit 90. (Step Sc7), the photographing unit 20 is controlled to start and execute still image photographing (Step Sc8).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the blur amount Q is equal to or less than the blur threshold Th, it is notified that the photographing is possible, and the photographing is executed with the input of the photographing instruction voice as a trigger. Therefore, the photographer can perform photographing at a desired timing in a state where there is no blur.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, it is notified that the shooting is executed prior to the actual shooting, so that the actual shooting execution timing can be surely recognized by the photographer or the person who becomes the subject. it can.
