Image-capturing apparatus and image-capturing method

摘要

An image-capturing apparatus includes an image-capturing unit configured to capture image data of a subject and to store the captured image data in an image-capturing operation; a speed detector configured to detect speed information; and a controller configured to control the image-capturing unit so that, in an automatic image-capturing process that is not based on a shutter operation of a user, a distance moved by the image-capturing apparatus is computed on the basis of information from the speed detector, and the image-capturing operation is performed in response to the fact that a computation result indicating that the image-capturing apparatus has moved a predetermined distance is obtained.

1. An image-capturing apparatus comprising:
an image-capturing unit configured to capture image data in an image-capturing operation; a speed detection unit configured to detect speed information; and a control unit configured to control the image-capturing unit such that, in an automatic image-capturing process, a distance moved by the image-capturing apparatus is computed based, at least in part, on the speed information, and the image-capturing operation is performed in response to obtaining a computation result indicating that the distance moved by the image-capturing apparatus corresponds to a predetermined distance, wherein the control unit is configured to set a shortest waiting time period, and the control unit is configured such that if, after an initialization event occurs, the shortest waiting time period has not elapsed when the computation result is obtained, the control unit causes the image-capturing unit to perform the image-capturing operation after the shortest waiting time period elapses.
