Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5402612
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Even when a posture of an imaging device changes, the imaging device can display a compass image in a natural mode when seen from a user's viewpoint and record a correct image capturing azimuth. Provided is an imaging device including: an image capturing unit which captures an image of a subject and outputs the captured image; an azimuth calculating unit which calculates an azimuth of the image capturing unit in an image capturing direction, based on geomagnetism information detected by a geomagnetic sensor and acceleration information detected by an acceleration sensor; an azimuth converting unit which calculates a rotation angle of the imaging device in a roll direction, based on the acceleration information, and converts the azimuth in the image capturing direction into a display azimuth based on the rotation angle in the roll direction; a display unit which displays a compass image representing the display azimuth and the captured image; and a recording unit which associates azimuth information representing the azimuth in the image capturing direction, with the captured image to record in a recording medium.
