Digital imaging method and apparatus

摘要

A digital imaging apparatus and method by which an auto-focus (AF) operation may be effectively performed during capture of a moving image. The apparatus performs the AF operation during the capture of the moving image when it is determined that a lens is appropriate for capturing the moving image based on received lens information and stops the AF operation during the capture of the moving image when it is determined that the lens is inappropriate for capturing the moving image. When the lens inappropriate for capturing the moving image is mounted, the AF operation may be performed using an additional switch or a manual-focus (MF) operation may be performed.

1. A digital imaging apparatus comprising:
a first switch S1; a second switch S2; a third switch SMV; and a fourth switch SPV,wherein:
a still image mode includes performing an auto-focus operation using the first switch S1, capturing a still image using the second switch S2, and initiating the capture of the moving image using the third switch SMV; and when it is determined that a lens of the digital imaging apparatus is inappropriate for capturing the moving image based on received lens information, the auto-focus operation is initiated by pushing the fourth switch SPV during the capture of the moving image.
