First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor coupled via a bus to a memory, the processor being programmed to control one or more of;
an image capturing unit that captures an image and output image data of the image;
a setting unit that sets control parameters for the image capturing unit capturing each piece of image data;
a controlling unit that controls an image capturing of the image capturing unit using the control parameters set by the setting unit;
a determining unit that determines whether image capturing conditions concerning resolution processing generating a high-resolution image using a plurality of image data are satisfied for each piece of image data, wherein the image capturing conditions include conditions concerning similarities of the control parameters set by the setting unit between consecutive pieces of the image data;
an adding unit that adds data corresponding to a result of determination made by the determining unit to each piece of the image data; and
a recording unit that records a plurality of the image data output by the adding unit as a moving image file,wherein the setting unit varies the control parameters set to each piece of the image data among the plurality of pieces of the image data of the moving image file, and consecutive pieces of the image data which satisfy the image capturing conditions can be identified.

7. A method comprising:
-
capturing an image and output image data of the image by an image capturing unit; setting control parameters for the image capturing unit capturing each piece of image data; controlling an image capturing of the image capturing unit using the control parameters; determining whether image capturing conditions concerning resolution processing generating a high-resolution image using a plurality of image data are satisfied for each piece of image data, wherein the image capturing conditions include conditions concerning similarities of the control parameters between consecutive pieces of the image data; adding data indicating whether the image capturing conditions are satisfied to each respective piece of the image data; and recording a plurality of the image data to which the data indicating whether the image capturing conditions are satisfied are added as a moving image file, wherein the control parameters set for each piece of the image data is varied among the plurality of pieces of the image data of the moving image file, and consecutive pieces of the image data which satisfy the image capturing conditions can be identified. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores instructions which, when executed by an apparatus, causes the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
capturing an image and output image data of the image by an image capturing unit; setting control parameters for the image capturing unit capturing each piece of image data; controlling an image capturing of the image capturing unit using the control parameters; determining whether image capturing conditions concerning resolution processing generating a high-resolution image using a plurality of image data are satisfied for each piece of image data, wherein the image capturing conditions include conditions concerning similarities of the control parameters between consecutive pieces of the image data; adding data indicating whether the image capturing conditions are satisfied to each respective piece of the image data; and recording a plurality of the image data to which the data indicating whether the image capturing conditions are satisfied are added as a moving image file, wherein the control parameters set for each piece of the image data is varied among the plurality of pieces of the image data of the moving image file, and consecutive pieces of the image data which satisfy the image capturing conditions can be identified.
