Imaging apparatus to control rotation of an image capturing device

摘要

An imaging apparatus to communicate with an external apparatus via a network includes an image capturing unit, a rotation unit, a reception unit, first and second control units, a determination unit, and a control switching unit. The rotation unit rotates the image capturing unit in a predetermined direction. The reception unit receives a control command including information for designating acceleration when the rotation unit rotates the image capturing unit. The first control unit controls the rotation unit at the designated acceleration. The second control unit controls the rotation unit at acceleration that is different from the designated acceleration. The determination unit determines whether a speed at which the rotation unit rotates the image capturing unit is within a predetermined range. The control switching unit switches between the first control unit and the second control unit according to a determination result of the determination unit, and control the rotation unit.

1. An imaging apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus via a network, the imaging apparatus comprising:
at least one processor communicate with a memory; an image recorder configured to capture an image of a subject; a rotator configured to rotate the image recorder in a predetermined direction; a reception unit configured to receive a control command including information for designating acceleration when the rotator rotates the image recorder; a first control unit configured to control the rotator at the acceleration designated by the control command; a second control unit configured to control the rotator at acceleration that is different from the acceleration designated by the control command; a determination unit configured to determine whether a speed at which the rotator rotates the image recorder is within a predetermined range equal to a range within which a speed, at which the image recorder vibrates, is included; and a control switcher configured to switch between the first control unit and the second control unit according to a determination result of the determination unit, and control the rotator, wherein the reception unit, the first control unit, the second control unit, and the determination unit are implemented by the at least one processor.
