INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME AND CAMERA

摘要

This invention provides an information processing apparatus for allowing a user to perform operation without any confusion concerning a device which implements a plurality of functions for one operation member in accordance with operation methods for the operation member. A system controller performs control to execute a predetermined function in response to the start of operation on an operation member and terminate execution of the predetermined function in response to the end of the operation. A timer function unit measures the time from the start of operation on the operation member. When a given operation finishes before the time measured by the timer function unit exceeds a predetermined time after the start of the operation, a notification about the operation method for the operation member is output.

主权项

1. A camera control apparatus comprising:
a control unit configured to perform control to execute a camera control function in response to a start of a single operation on an operation member and terminate execution of the camera control function in response to an end of the single operation which has continued from the start of the single operation; a time measuring unit configured to measure a time from the start of the single operation; and an output unit configured to output a notification about an operation method for continuously executing the camera control function using the operation member in response that the single operation which has continued from the start of the single operation ends before the time measured by said time measuring unit exceeds a predetermined time after the single operation starts and the execution of the camera control function starts in response to the start of the single operation, wherein the notification is not output prior to the end of the single operation, wherein when the single operation ends before the time measured by said time measuring unit exceeds the predetermined time, the camera control function is executed in response to the start of the single operation, and is terminated in response to the end of the single operation and the notification is output.
