Image capture device that records image accordant with predetermined condition and storage medium that stores program
First Claim
1. An image capture device comprising:
- an image capture unit;
a display control unit that displays an image to be successively captured by the image capture unit and a frame of a predetermined area on a display screen, wherein the display control unit displays the frame of the predetermined area so as to be superimposed on the image;
a first instruction detection unit that detects a first instruction;
a designation unit that designates a first pixel region that is displayed in a display region inside the frame of the predetermined area of the image when the first instruction is detected by the first instruction detection unit;
a second instruction detection unit that detects a recording instruction of the image after the designation by the designation unit;
a determination unit that, when the recording instruction is detected by the second instruction detection unit, fixes a display position of the frame of the predetermined area on the display screen, and determines whether or not a display region corresponding to the first pixel region included in the image to be successively captured has contacted the frame of the predetermined area of which the display position is fixed, or whether or not the display region corresponding to the first pixel region has gone out of the frame of the predetermined area; and
a first recording unit that records, when the determination unit determines that the display region corresponding to the first pixel region has contacted the frame of the predetermined area or has gone out of the frame of the predetermined area, an image captured upon the determination and a predetermined number of images to be captured thereafter.

Abstract
An image capture device sets a central vicinity of a frame of a predetermined area as a focus region upon detecting a half-press operation of a shutter button in a through-the-lens image displaying, designates a central vicinity pixel region of the region as a pixel region to be tracked, and determines whether or not the designated pixel region is adequate as an object of tracking. If the pixel region is adequate, the pixel region is tracked until the shutter button is detected as pressed down fully. When a fully-press operation of the shutter button is detected, the frame of a predetermined area is displayed in a fixed manner on a display unit. Upon a detection that a change of the pixel region has occurred, or the pixel region has contacted or exceeded the frame of a predetermined area, a recording processing is started immediately by a high speed consecutive capture.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that causes a computer to function as units comprising:
-
a display control unit that displays an image to be successively captured and a frame of a predetermined area on a display screen of a display unit, wherein the display control unit displays the frame of the predetermined area so as to be superimposed on the image; a first instruction detection unit that detects a first instruction; a designation unit that designates a first pixel region that is displayed in a display region inside the frame of the predetermined area of the image when the first instruction is detected by the first instruction detection unit; a second instruction detection unit that detects a recording instruction of the image after the designation by the designation unit; a determination unit that, when the recording instruction is detected by the second instruction detection unit, fixes a display position of the frame of the predetermined area on the display screen, and determines whether or not a display region corresponding to the first pixel region included in the image to be successively captured has contacted the frame of the predetermined area of which the display position is fixed, or whether or not the display region corresponding to the first pixel region has gone out of the frame of the predetermined area; and a first recording unit that records, when the determination unit determines that the display region corresponding to the first pixel region has contacted the frame of the predetermined area or has gone out of the frame of the predetermined area, an image captured upon the determination and a predetermined number of images to be captured thereafter. - View Dependent Claims (13)
