Patent Images

1. An imaging device comprising:

  • a temporary storage which temporarily cyclically stores images for a predetermined duration or a predetermined number of images imaged in succession through an imager; and

    a processor which detects a capturing instruction;

    wherein the processor performs control to;

    record, in a recorder, temporarily stored images for a first duration or a first number of images before detection of the capturing instruction, and record, in the recorder, images for a second duration or a second number of images imaged in succession through the imager after detection of the capturing instruction;

    variably determine a ratio of the first duration to the second duration or a ratio of the first number to the second number in response to input of a first type of operation of an operational input unit, without changing a total duration of the first duration and the second duration or a total number of the first number of images and the second number of images;

    variably determine the total duration of the first duration and the second duration or the total number of the first number and the second number in response to input of a second type of operation of the operational input unit, without changing the ratio of the first duration to the second duration or the ratio of the first number to the second number; and

    determine the first duration and the second duration or the first number and the second number based on (i) the ratio of the first duration to the second duration or the ratio of the first number to the second number, and (ii) the total duration or the total number,wherein in a case in which a last input operation among the first type of operation and the second type of operation is the second type of operation, the processor performs control to determine the first duration and the second duration or the first number and the second number based on the determined total duration or the determined total number determined in response to the input of the second type of operation, without changing the ratio of the first duration to the second duration or the ratio of the first number to the second number, andwherein the processor performs control to control the recorder to record images in an amount of the determined first duration and the determined second duration, or the determined first number and the determined second number.
