Description

本発明の一実施形態の撮像装置は、ユーザがズーム位置の変更を指示するための第１の操作手段と、前記第１の操作手段の操作に応じてズーム位置を制御する制御手段を備える。前記制御手段は、前記第１の操作手段における第１の操作に応じて第１のズーム位置を設定するとともに、ズーム位置を広角方向に変更し、さらに前記第１の操作手段における第２の操作に応じてズーム位置を前記第１のズーム位置に変更するよう制御する。
An imaging apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes first operating means for a user to instruct a change in zoom position, and control means for controlling the zoom position in accordance with the operation of the first operating means . Wherein, in the co Setting first zoom position in response to a first operation of the first operating means, to change the's over zoom position at the wide angle direction, further wherein the first operating means Control is performed to change the zoom position to the first zoom position in response to the second operation .

Claims

A first operating means for a user to instruct a change of a zoom position ;
Control means for controlling the zoom position according to the operation of the first operation means ;
Wherein, in the co Setting first zoom position in response to a first operation of the first operating means, to change the's over zoom position at the wide angle direction, further wherein the first operating means An image pickup apparatus that controls to change a zoom position to the first zoom position in accordance with a second operation .

The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit sets a zoom position before the first operation is performed as the first zoom position.

The control means changes the zoom position in the wide-angle direction according to the first operation, and controls the display means to display the angle of view of the first zoom position superimposed on the image. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging apparatus is characterized.

The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit sets the first zoom position by storing the first zoom position in a storage unit.

The control means acquires the zoom-out movement amount when changing the zoom position in the wide-angle direction according to the first operation as a continuous amount based on the zoom magnification or a discrete amount based on the number of zoom steps . on the basis of the zoom-out movement amount, the imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that to calculate the zoom position to change the wide-angle direction.

It has multiple zoom areas with different ways to change the zoom position,
When the zoom position is changed from the zoom position within the first zoom area, and the zoom position after the change based on the zoom-out movement amount is outside the first zoom area , the control means claims of to change the zoom position in the zoom region, and changes the zoom position to the zoom position of the first zoom range is different from the second zoom area on the basis of the remaining zoom out movement amount 5. The imaging device according to 5 .

The imaging apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the plurality of zoom areas include an optical zoom area that changes a zoom position by moving a zoom lens and an electronic zoom area that changes a zoom position by image processing.

A second operation means for the user to instruct a change of the zoom position ;
Wherein, when the operation of the second operating means between the first operation from being performed in the first operating means to said second operation is performed is performed, the second the imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that to change the first zoom position according to the operation of the second operating means.

When the operation of the second operation means is performed between the time when the first operation is performed in the first operation means and the time when the second operation is performed , the second operation means a first mode for changing the first zoom position according to the operation, the imaging apparatus according to claim 8, characterized in that it is capable of switching the second mode to change the current zoom position.

Further comprising a detection means for the image pickup device detects whether or not it is fixed on a tripod,
The control means, when the detection means detects that the imaging device is fixed to a tripod, the zoom-out movement amount when changing the zoom position in the wide-angle direction according to the first operation , the imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that the imaging device is changed to a value larger than the zoom-out movement amount when not fixed to the tripod.

Further comprising a detection means for the image pickup device detects whether or not it is fixed on a tripod,
Wherein, when the imaging device is detected to have been fixed to the tripod by the detecting means, the zoom movement speed when to change the's over zoom position, the imaging device is fixed on a tripod the imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 10, characterized in that changing to a value greater than the zoom speed of movement of the absence.

A method for controlling an imaging apparatus including a first operation unit for a user to instruct a change of a zoom position ,
A step to set the first zoom position in response to a first operation in the first operating means,
Changing the zoom position in the wide-angle direction according to the first operation ;
And a step of changing the zoom position to the first zoom position in response to a second operation of the first operating means .
