IMAGING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a first imaging control means for periodically imaging;
a first detection means for detecting a predetermined photographic subject from an image data imaged by the first imaging control means;
an instruction means for instructing to imaging still-image during periodic imaging by the first imaging control means;
a second imaging control means for imaging still-image when instructed by the instruction means;
a second detection means for detecting a predetermined photographic subject from a still-image data imaged by the second imaging control means;
a comparison means for comparing a result of the photographic subject detection by the first detection means with a result of the photographic subject detection by the second detection means; and
an informing means for informing a comparison result by the comparison means.

Abstract
In a digital camera 1, when the shutter button is half-depressed (Y at S2), face detection processing is performed on periodically imaged frame images until it is fully depressed (N at S6), and face detection results are cyclically stored in a detection result storage area. When it is fully depressed (Y at S6), a still-image imaging operation is performed, and the face detection processing is performed on an imaged still-image (S7 and S8). Then, after a high priority face detection result is selected from among the face detection results currently stored in the detection result storing area (S9), the selected face detection result and the face detection result of the still-image are compared and judged whether or not they are in agreement (S10 and S11). When judged not to be in agreement, the still-image is displayed as a preview and the warning display of this disagreement is performed (S13).

15. A computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that is executable by a computer included in an imaging apparatus to cause the computer to perform a process comprising:
-
a first imaging control processing for periodically imaging; a first detection processing for detecting a predetermined photographic subject from an image data imaged by the first imaging control processing; an instruction processing for instructing to imaging still-image during periodic imaging by the first imaging control processing; a second imaging control processing for imaging still-image when instructed by the instruction processing; a second detection processing for detecting a predetermined photographic subject from a still-image data imaged by the second imaging control processing; a comparison processing for comparing a result of the photographic subject detection by the first detection processing with a result of the photographic subject detection by the second detection processing; and an informing processing for informing a comparison result by the comparison processing.
