Description

本発明は、撮影画像を表示する画像表示手段を有し、セルフタイマー撮影が可能な撮像装置、撮像装置の制御方法、プログラムおよび記録媒体に関するものである。 The present invention possess an image display means for displaying the captured image, self-timer capable imaging apparatus, and a control method, program and recording medium of the imaging apparatus.

一般に、デジタルカメラには液晶表示器等の電子ビューファインダが備えられており、電子ビューファインダは、記録された画像の再生表示、一定周期で撮影された画像の表示などに用いられている。使用者は、一定周期で撮影した画像を表示装置で見る（ライブビュー）ことで、構図を設定したり、合焦状態を確認したりすることができる。 Generally, the digital camera is provided with an electronic viewfinder of a liquid crystal display or the like, an electronic view finder, playback display of a recorded image, it is used in a display of images taken at a fixed cycle. The user can set the composition or confirm the in-focus state by viewing images captured at a fixed period on the display device (live view).

本発明の目的は、セルフ撮影モードにて、電力の消耗を抑えながら、必要な時には必要とする画像表示を見ながら撮影することを可能にする、使い勝手の良い撮像装置を提供しようとするものである。 Those object of the present invention, which by self-photographing mode, while suppressing the consumption of electric power, making it possible to shoot while viewing the image display requiring when necessary, and to provide a good imaging equipment convenient It is.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明の撮像装置は、撮影画像を表示する画像表示手段と、
セルフタイマー撮影におけるタイマー時間を設定する設定手段と、
設定されたタイマー時間が経過したことに応じて撮影を行うセルフタイマー撮影を行う撮影制御手段と、
前記セルフタイマー撮影におけるタイマー時間の計時中に前記画像表示手段に撮影画像を表示させるか否かを前記設定手段で設定されたタイマー時間に応じて制御する表示制御手段と
を有することを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, an imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes an image display unit that displays a captured image;
Setting means for setting the timer time in self-timer shooting;
A photographing control means for performing the self-timer to perform photographing in response to the set timer time has elapsed,
Display control means for controlling in response to the self-timer timer time whether or not to display the shadow image shooting on the image display means during counting of the timer time set by the setting means in
It is characterized by having .
