IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging unit;
a touch panel;
an imaging preparation unit configured to conduct a preparation for imaging processing of the imaging unit based on a position where a touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel; and
a control unit configured to cause the imaging unit to perform continuous shooting according to a touch-up operation in a case where an operation for instructing about continuous shooting is performed on the touch panel since execution of the touch-down operation until execution of the touch-up operation, and cause the imaging unit to perform single shooting according to the touch-up operation in a case where the operation for instructing about continuous shooting is not performed on the touch panel since the execution of the touch-down operation until the execution of the touch-up operation.

Abstract
A shooting target detection unit detects a main shooting target from a position where a touch-down operation is performed on a touch panel. A system control device causes a ranging control device and an exposure control device to perform AF processing and AE processing on the main shooting target. The system control device displays a continuous shooting switch near the touched position. The system control device performs continuous shooting if a user moves his/her finger to the continuous shooting switch and then performs a touch-up operation. Whereas, the system control device performs single shooting if the user performs the touch-up operation without moving his/her finger to the continuous shooting switch.

8. A method for controlling an imaging apparatus which includes an imaging unit and a touch panel and is configured to conduct a preparation for imaging processing of the imaging unit based on a position where a touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel and capture an image according to a touch-up operation on the touch panel, the method comprising:
-
determining whether an operation for instructing about continuous shooting is performed on the touch panel since execution of the touch-down operation until execution of the touch-up operation; causing the imaging unit to perform continuous shooting in a case where the operation for instructing about continuous shooting is performed on the touch panel since the execution of the touch-down operation until the execution of the touch-up operation; and causing the imaging unit to perform single shooting according to the touch-up operation in a case where the operation for instructing about continuous shooting is not performed on the touch panel since the execution of the touch-down operation until the execution of the touch-up operation.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for executing a method for controlling an imaging apparatus which includes an imaging unit and a touch panel and is configured to conduct a preparation for imaging processing of the imaging unit based on a position where a touch-down operation is performed on the touch panel and capture an image according to a touch-up operation on the touch panel, the method comprising:
-
determining whether an operation for instructing about continuous shooting is performed on the touch panel since execution of the touch-down operation until execution of the touch-up operation; causing the imaging unit to perform continuous shooting in a case where the operation for instructing about continuous shooting is performed on the touch panel since the execution of the touch-down operation until the execution of the touch-up operation; and causing the imaging unit to perform single shooting according to the touch-up operation in a case where the operation for instructing about continuous shooting is not performed on the touch panel since the execution of the touch-down operation until the execution of the touch-up operation.
