Image capturing device and activation method therefor
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to;
receive an attitude detection signal from an attitude sensor; and
control the imaging apparatus to change operational state from a low power operational state to a high power operational state in a case the attitude detection signal satisfies an attitude condition, in which the imaging apparatus operates at a power higher than a power of the low power operational state and image capturing operation is performable in the high power operational state,in which an operation state change according to the attitude detection signal is set to enable and disable according to an user'"'"'s input.

Abstract
An image capturing device includes a first controller operable to control image capturing; an operation section including a switch; a detector operable to detect a change to an image capturing mode and to send a signal representing the change; a second controller operable to monitor and process the sent signal, the second controller having a power consumption less than that of the first controller; and a power supply operable to supply power to the first controller, the second controller, and a functional section of the device. When the second controller receives the signal sent from the detecting section in a power saving state in which power is supplied from the power supply to the second controller, the power saving state is changed to a power supplying state capable of image capturing by supplying power from the power supply to portions of the device including the first controller.
