ZOOM CONTROL DEVICE, IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF ZOOM CONTROL DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A subject detection unit of an imaging apparatus detects a subject image from an image. An automatic zoom control unit automatically selects a specific composition among a plurality of compositions, sets a reference size of the subject image used to control a zoom magnification based on the selected composition, and controls the zoom magnification according to the reference size and a size of the subject image detected by the subject detection unit. The selectable composition differs between when a photographing state is a photographing preparation state of a still image and when the photographing state is a recording state of a moving image.

主权项

1. A zoom control device comprising:
a subject detection unit configured to detect a subject image from an image; a composition selection unit configured to automatically select a specific composition among a plurality of compositions; a setting unit configured to set a reference size of the subject image used to control a zoom magnification based on the composition selected by the composition selection unit; and a control unit configured to control the zoom magnification based on the reference size set by the setting unit and a size of the subject image sequentially detected by the subject detection unit, wherein a selection candidate for the composition selected by the composition selection unit differs between when a photographing state is a first operation state and when the photographing state is a second operation state different from the first operation state.
