IMAGING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging optical system that forms an optical image of a plurality of photographing objects;
an imaging sensor that receives the optical image, converts the optical image to an electrical image signal and outputs the electrical image signal;
a detector that determines, based on the image signal, whether the plurality of photographing objects include a specific photographing object, the specific photographing object being likely to move while a photograph is being captured; and
a control section that establishes a photographing mode to the specific photographing object when the plurality of photographing objects are determined to include the specific photographing object.

Abstract
An imaging apparatus capable of preventing photographing sensitivity from being increased more than necessary, reducing image quality degradation caused by camera shake or object shake and easily photographing images in good image quality. The imaging apparatus includes an imaging optical system that forms an optical image of a photographing object. An imaging sensor receives the optical image and converts the optical image to an electrical image signal. A detector determines, based on the image signal, whether the photographing object is a specific photographing object likely to move while a photograph is being captured that corresponds to information stored in a memory device provided to the imagining apparatus. A control section establishes an operational mode causing the imaging apparatus to continuously take a plurality of photographs of the photographing object when the photographing object is determined to be the specific photographing object that is likely to move.
