1. An imaging device comprising:
- a camera configured to capture an image;
a display portion configured to display the captured image; and
a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance between the touch panel and an indicator, whereinthe camera is configured to, when the detected distance indicates that the indicator is within a predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, capture the image by performing a predetermined processing on an area corresponding to a position of the indicator on the display portion, the predetermined processing including at least one of an auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balancing, andwhen the indicator touches the area on the display portion having received the predetermined processing, the image captured by performing the predetermined processing on the area is recorded into a non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device.

Abstract
An imaging device includes: an imaging portion; a memory capable of storing images imaged by the imaging portion; a display portion; and a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance to an indicator. When the distance is equal to or less than a first distance and more than a second distance less than the first distance, the memory stores the images at predetermined time intervals. Then, when the distance becomes equal to or less than the second distance and equal to or more than 0, the display portion displays the image that is stored in the memory before the distance becomes equal to or less than the second distance and equal to or more than 0.

1. An imaging device comprising:
-
a camera configured to capture an image; a display portion configured to display the captured image; and a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance between the touch panel and an indicator, wherein the camera is configured to, when the detected distance indicates that the indicator is within a predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, capture the image by performing a predetermined processing on an area corresponding to a position of the indicator on the display portion, the predetermined processing including at least one of an auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balancing, and when the indicator touches the area on the display portion having received the predetermined processing, the image captured by performing the predetermined processing on the area is recorded into a non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. An imaging method for an imaging device that includes a camera capable of capturing an image, a display portion capable of displaying the captured image, and a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance between the touch panel and an indicator, the imaging method comprising:
-
capturing, by the camera, when the detected distance indicates that the indicator is within a predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, the image by performing a predetermined processing on an area corresponding to a position of the indicator on the display portion, the predetermined processing including at least one of an auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balancing; and recording, when the indicator touches the area on the display portion having received the predetermined processing, the image captured by performing the predetermined processing on the area into a non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device.

10. An imaging device, comprising:
-
a camera configured to capture an image; a display portion configured to display the captured image; and a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance between the touch panel and an indicator, wherein when the detected distance indicates that, for a time less than a predetermined time, the position of the indicator has been kept within a predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, the camera captures the image by performing a predetermined processing on an area corresponding to a position of the indicator on the display portion, the predetermined processing including at least one of an auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balancing, when the indicator touches the area on the display portion having received the predetermined processing before the predetermined time has elapsed, the image captured by performing the predetermined processing on the area is recorded into a non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device, and when the detected distance indicates that, for the predetermined time, the position of the indicator has been kept within the predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, the captured image is recorded into the non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device at a timing when the predetermined time has elapsed. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. An imaging method for an imaging device which includes a camera capable of capturing an image, a display portion capable of displaying the captured image, and a touch panel arranged to overlap with the display portion and capable of detecting a distance between the touch panel and an indicator, the imaging method comprising:
-
when the detected distance indicates that, for a time less than a predetermined time, the position of the indicator has been kept within a predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, capturing the image by performing a predetermined processing on an area corresponding to a position of the indicator on the display portion, the predetermined processing including at least one of an auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balancing, when the indicator touches the area on the display portion having received the predetermined processing before the predetermined time has elapsed, the image captured by performing the predetermined processing on the area is recorded into a non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device, and when the detected distance indicates that, for the predetermined time, the position of the indicator has been kept within the predetermined distance from the touch panel and not touching the touch panel, the captured image is recorded into the non-volatile memory mounted to the imaging device at a timing when the predetermined time has elapsed.
