IMAGING APPARATUS HAVING PROJECTOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus having a projector, comprising:
- an imaging unit that photographs a subject;
a mirror image converting unit that converts a live view image photographed by the imaging unit into a mirror image;
a projector that projects the mirror image of the live view image in a direction opposite to a photographing direction of the imaging unit;
a control unit that initiates actual photography for recording the subject by the imaging unit when a posture of a main subject satisfies a predetermined condition; and
a pose image superimposing unit that superimpose a pose image on a projected image,wherein the control unit determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied and performs the actual photography when a superimposition degree of the main subject in the projected image and the pose image is a threshold value or more, andthe control unit extracts an outline shape of the main subject in the projected image, and performs enlargement and reduction of the pose image so that a size of the outline shape is coincident with a size of the pose image.

8. A method of controlling an imaging apparatus having a projector, comprising:
-
photographing a subject by an imaging unit; converting a live view image of the subject photographed by the imaging unit into a mirror image; projecting the mirror image of the live view image in a direction opposite to a photographing direction of the imaging unit by a projector; superimposing a pose image on a projected image; initiating actual photography for recording the subject by the imaging unit when a posture of a main subject satisfies a predetermined condition; extracting an outline shape of the main subject in the projected image; and performing enlargement and reduction of the pose image so that a size of the outline shape is coincident with a size of the pose image.
