Description

上記目的を達成するため第１の発明に係わる撮像装置は、被写体像を画像データとして出力する撮像部と、被写体の顔を検出する顔検出部と、撮影光学系の焦点距離を変更する焦点距離変更部と、上記焦点距離の長短と上記被写体の顔の増減に応じて、上記撮像部の画像データ出力領域の縦横及び／又はアスペクト比を制御する撮像領域制御部と、を有する。
In order to achieve the above object, an imaging apparatus according to a first invention includes an imaging unit that outputs a subject image as image data, a face detection unit that detects a face of the subject, and a focal length that changes a focal length of the photographing optical system. A changing unit; and an imaging region control unit that controls the aspect ratio and / or aspect ratio of the image data output region of the imaging unit according to the length of the focal length and the increase or decrease of the face of the subject.

第７の発明に係わる撮像装置の制御方法は、被写体像を画像データとして出力し、上記画像データに基づいて被写体の顔を検出し、撮影光学系の焦点距離を検出し、上記焦点距離の長短と上記被写体の顔の増減に応じて、上記撮像部の画像データ出力領域の縦横及び／又はアスペクト比を制御する。

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a control method for an image pickup apparatus that outputs a subject image as image data, detects a subject's face based on the image data, detects a focal length of a photographing optical system, and determines whether the focal length is short or long. The aspect ratio and / or aspect ratio of the image data output area of the imaging unit is controlled according to the increase or decrease of the face of the subject.

Claims

An imaging unit that outputs a subject image as image data;
A face detection unit for detecting the face of the subject;
A focal length changing unit for changing the focal length of the photographing optical system;
An imaging region control unit that controls the aspect ratio and / or aspect ratio of the image data output region of the imaging unit according to the length of the focal length and the increase or decrease of the face of the subject;
An imaging device comprising:

Output the subject image as image data,
Detect the face of the subject based on the image data,
Detect the focal length of the photographic optical system,
Controlling the aspect ratio and / or aspect ratio of the image data output area of the imaging unit according to the length of the focal length and the increase or decrease of the face of the subject.
And a method of controlling the imaging apparatus.
