Description

上記目的を達成するために、請求項１の撮像装置は、被写体を撮像する撮像手段と、撮像者による半押し操作と全押し操作が可能な操作部材と、前記撮像手段により撮像して得られた撮像画像から特定の対象物を検出する検出手段と、前記検出手段により検出された複数の対象物のうちから選択されるべき対象物を、前記操作部材が半押し操作されたことに応じて変更する変更手段と、前記操作部材が全押し操作されたことに応じて、選択された対象物を主被写体として撮像するように前記撮像手段を制御する制御手段とを備えたことを特徴とする。 To achieve the above object, an imaging apparatus according to claim 1 includes an imaging means for imaging a subject, a half-press operation and full press operation of the operational member by the photographer, obtained by imaging by the imaging means detecting means for detecting a specific object from the captured image, an object to be selected from among a plurality of objects detected by said detection means, depending on the said operating member is pressed halfway A changing means for changing, and a control means for controlling the image pickup means so as to pick up an image of a selected object as a main subject in response to the operation member being fully pressed. .

Claims

An imaging means for imaging a subject, an operation member capable of a half-pressing operation and a full-pressing operation by a photographer ,
Detection means for detecting a specific object from a captured image obtained by imaging by the imaging means ;
Change means for changing an object to be selected from a plurality of objects detected by the detection means in response to the operation member being half-pressed;
An image pickup apparatus comprising: control means for controlling the image pickup means so as to pick up an image of a selected object as a main subject in response to the operation member being fully pressed.

Display means for displaying the captured image;
2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit superimposes and displays information indicating the selected object on the captured image.

The imaging apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the information indicating the selected object is a selection frame.

The imaging device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the changing unit selects one of the plurality of objects.

The object, an imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that a human face.

The control means controls the imaging means so as to image the object as the main subject by performing at least one of focus processing, exposure adjustment processing, and white balance adjustment processing on the main subject. The imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein

The control means has the selection image superimposed when the half-pressing operation is performed when the time elapsed from the half-pressing operation of the operating member to the full-pressing operation being equal to or less than a predetermined time. the imaging apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the controller controls the imaging unit to image an object as the main subject.

Further provided with another operation unit for changing the imaging angle of view,
The operation unit is depressed halfway, when the other operation section is operated, any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that changing the angle of view around the object to the selected image is superimposed The imaging apparatus according to item 1.

The imaging device can capture moving images and still images,
It said changing means when the operating member in the moving image capturing is half-pressed, the imaging according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that to change the object to superimpose the selected image apparatus.
