Digital photographing device, method of controlling the same, and computer-readable storage medium to select between a still and a moving image capturing mode
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a digital photographing device, the method comprising:
- calculating a degree of motion of a subject in a captured image;
when the photographing mode is a still image capturing mode, and the calculated degree of motion is greater than a first reference value, changing the photographing mode to a video capturing mode; and
when the photographing mode is in the video capturing mode, and the calculated degree of motion is less than a second reference value, changing the photographing mode to the still image capturing modewherein in the still image capturing mode, a still image file is generated as an output file, and in the video capturing mode, a video file is generated as an output file.

Abstract
Provided are a digital photographing device, a method of controlling the same, and a computer-readable storage medium for storing a program for executing the method. The method includes calculating a degree of motion of a subject; determining whether a photographing mode change condition is satisfied based on the degree of motion; determining whether to change a photographing mode according to a predetermined reference, if the photographing mode change condition is satisfied; and changing the photographing mode if it is determined to change the photographing mode, wherein the photographing mode is one of a still image capturing mode and a video capturing mode.

8. A digital photographing device comprising:
-
an imaging device configured to capture images; a degree of motion calculator configured to calculate a degree of motion of a subject in an image captured by the imaging device; and a photographing mode changer configured to change the photographing mode from a still image capturing mode to a video capturing mode based on the degree of motion, wherein in the still image capturing mode, a still image file is generated as an output file, and in the video capturing mode, a video file is generated as an output file. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer-executable program to perform a method comprising:
-
calculating a degree of motion of a subject in a captured image; when the photographing mode is a still image capturing mode, and the calculated degree of motion is equal to or greater than a first reference value, changing the photographing mode to a video capturing mode; and when the photographing mode is in the video capturing mode, and the calculated degree of motion is equal to or less than a second reference value, changing the photographing mode to the still image capturing mode, wherein in the still image capturing mode, a still image file is generated as an output file, and in the video capturing mode, a video file is generated as an output file. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
