Imaging apparatus
First Claim
1. A portable apparatus comprising:
- a control unit having a first control mode for changing contents of operation control based on multiple switches and a second control mode for changing contents of operation control based on an operation signal which is set depending on the number of times of single operation;
a hold detector for detecting an external hold; and
an acceleration detector for detecting an acceleration of the portable apparatus,wherein when a detection result by the hold detector has a specified corresponding relationship with a detection result by the acceleration detector, the control unit changes contents of operation control based on the operation signal.

Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit for capturing a subject and generating image data of the subject, an operation input unit for receiving inputs of operation signals containing a release signal for instructing the imaging unit to shoot, an acceleration detector for detecting an acceleration of the imaging apparatus, a state detector for separately detecting a case in which the imaging apparatus is overland, a case in which the imaging apparatus is underwater and a photographer shoots while swimming, and a case in which the imaging apparatus is underwater and the photographer shoots while changing a water depth, and a control unit for performing operation control depending on an input into the operation input unit and/or into the acceleration detector according to a state detection result by the state detector.
