IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016012927
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To capture a "miniaturized photograph" image of a digital camera, and obtain distinct effect.SOLUTION: A system control unit 29 reads out setting content at power-on, and determines "user setting" or "automatic setting" during a "miniaturized photographing" process. During the "user setting", a shading-off process is applied in a set shade-off region and monitoring is executed, and, upon a shade-off region change request, a setting screen is entered into, in which monitoring is executed in a changed shade-off region. Further, a subject detection mode is confirmed, and, during a face detection mode, a face is detected from within an angle of view and subjected to focal processing, and then, upon moving of the face into the shade-off region, detection is aborted. During the "automatic setting", monitoring is executed by setting an AF region subjected to AF processing by a first release as a center of a region of interest and its periphery as a shade-off region. Upon pressing of a second release, a main image is transferred from a CCD/CMOS unit 20 to an image processing unit 25 and expanded into a memory unit 26 by shutter control from a monitoring process, and regions other than a subject subjected to focal processing are subjected to the shading-off process, whereby effect is obtained.
