APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLING CAMERA OPERATION BY DETECTED TEMPERATURE

摘要

An apparatus and a method for controlling the operation of a camera according to the detection of a temperature are provided to perform normal photographing operation by performing automatic warming-up operation for compulsorily driving motors installed in the camera when an internal temperature of the camera is lower than a predetermined reference temperature. A temperature sensor(30) detects a current temperature of a camera. A memory(28) stores a predetermined reference temperature to be compared with the detected current temperature. A microcomputer(26) compares the current temperature with the reference temperature. If the current temperature is lower than the reference temperature, the microcomputer discriminates a current state as a camera normal photographing impossible state and automatically drives a driving motor of a focus lens and a driving motor of a zoom lens so that the current temperature is higher than the reference temperature.
