METHOD FOR ENABLING MANUAL ADJUSTMENT OF A POINTING DIRECTION OF AN ACTIVELY STABILIZED CAMERA

摘要

A method for adjusting a pointing direction of a camera housed by an active stabilization system is disclosed. The active stabilization system executes a stabilization process to stabilize the pointing direction of the camera. The method comprises: detecting an externally applied force, disabling the stabilization process upon detecting a manual adjustment condition, adjusting the pointing angle of the camera in a direction of the externally applied force, measuring a current pointing angle of the camera; and re-enabling the stabilization process to stabilize the pointing direction of the camera based on the measured pointing angle of the camera in response to detecting that the detected manual adjustment condition failed.
