The present invention provides a highly flexible shooting environment by letting the user shoot any subject he or she likes. The image capture device of this invention includes: an image capturing section, which receives light coming from a subject and generates a signal representing an image of the subject; a first detecting section for detecting a feature in the image by a first predetermined method; a second detecting section for detecting a feature in the image by a second method, which is different from the first method; an interface section for accepting an operation specifying a position on the image; and a controller for determining, according to a relationship between a location of the feature detected by the first detecting section and the position specified for the interface section at a point in time when the interface section accepts the operation, which of the first and second detecting sections should be used to detect a feature in a forthcoming image to be generated from that point in time on. |
