ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

This invention makes it such that even in a state in which a user is unable to see a control button provided on a case or a control key displayed on a touchscreen, the user can input an imaging instruction easily. This electronic device (10) has an acceleration sensor (11), a camera unit (12), an imaging-instruction input acceptance unit (13) that uses measurement data obtained from the acceleration sensor (11) to detect the input of a camera-imaging instruction, and an imaging-timing monitoring unit (14) that monitors for the arrival of timing with which to commence camera imaging that is to be performed with prescribed timing after the input of a camera-imaging instruction has been detected. The camera unit (12) performs the camera imaging when the imaging-timing monitoring unit (14) determines that the aforementioned timing with which to commence the camera imaging has arrived.
