Title:
IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGING DEVICE CONTROL METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/075644
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A monitor camera (1), i.e., an imaging device, is provided with an imaging element (2); an exposure adjusting section (6) for adjusting the exposure quantity of the imaging element (2); a luminance/color difference generating section (8) for generating luminance/color difference data from an image signal obtained by the imaging element (2); and a mode switching section (15) for switching between image acquiring mode and standby mode. In the image acquiring mode, the exposure quantity is adjusted and the luminance/color difference data is generated, and in the standby mode, the exposure quantity is adjusted and generation of luminance/color difference data is stopped. Thus, power consumption is reduced, and stable image data can be acquired immediately when image data is required.
