Processing for judging whether a face is included in a frame is performed, in a predetermined interval, on each of frames included in a moving image of a subject, displayed on a monitor, until the judgment becomes positive. If it is judged that a face is included in a frame, the facial position is detected in the frame, and stored. Then, judgment is made as to whether a face is included in the next frame after predetermined time. If the judgment is positive, the facial position is detected. The previously stored facial position is replaced by the newly detected facial position, and the newly detected facial position is stored. These processes are repeated until photographing operation is performed by operating a release unit. |

1. A photographing apparatus comprising:
a photographing device for obtaining image data of a subject; a display for displaying the image data; a release device for performing a photographing operation; a memory for storing facial position data; a storage for storing the image data; a photographing control device for obtaining a moving image of the subject by continuously obtaining image data with the photographing device and displaying the moving image on the display; a face judgment device for performing processing, at predetermined or varying time intervals, for judging whether a human face is included in a frame of the moving image; a face detection device for detecting a facial position in the frame, in the case that the frame has been judged to include a face by the face judgment device; and a control device for controlling the photographing device, the face judgment device, the face detection device, the memory, and the storage so that a judgment is made as to whether the face is included in a first frame of the moving image, and if the judgment is positive, a first facial position is detected, the first facial position is stored in the memory, and judgment is made as to whether the face is included in a second frame of the moving image after the predetermined or varying time interval, and if it is judged that the face is included in the second frame, a second facial position is detected, and the second facial position is either stored in the memory or replaces the first facial position stored in the memory, and until the release device performs the photographing operation, judgment is made as to whether the face is included in the next frame further after the predetermined time or varying time interval, and if it is judged that the face is included in the frame, the facial position is detected, and the facial position is either stored in the memory or replaces the facial position stored in the memory, wherein a frame obtained when the release device performs the photographing operation is stored in a recording medium as an image. |
