Image pickup apparatus and control method of image pickup apparatus arranged to detect an attitude

摘要

When an image is photographed vertically, vertical position information is added to the image. When an upside-down image is photographed, data itself is rotated by 180 degrees and recorded. Thus, when the image is reproduced by a general another reproducing apparatus, the image can be viewed with the too and bottom thereof being normally positioned.

主权项

1. An image pickup apparatus having an image sensor which picks up an object image and obtains a picked-up image, comprising:
a memory and at least one processor which function as: an attitude detection unit configured to detect an attitude of the image pickup apparatus wherein the attitude detection unit is capable of detecting at least a normal attitude, vertical attitude vertical to the normal attitude, and an upside down attitude; and a control unit configured to control on the basis of the attitude detected by the attitude detection unit when the picking up by the image sensor is performed, in such a manner that in a case where the attitude detection unit detects that an attitude of the image pickup apparatus in image pickup corresponds to the normal attitude, picked-up image is recorded to a recording, medium without being rotated, and a first attitude information corresponding to the normal attitude is added thereto as attribute information, in a case where the attitude detection unit detects that an attitude of the image pickup apparatus in image pickup corresponds to the vertical attitude, picked-up image is recorded to the recording medium without being rotated, and a second attitude information corresponding to the vertical attitude is added thereto as attribute information, and in a case where the attitude detection unit detects that an attitude of the image pickup apparatus in image pickup corresponds to the upside down attitude, picked-up image is recorded to the recording medium with being rotated upside down, and the first attitude information is added thereto as attribute information.
