  • Image capturing apparatus, method, and program with operation state determination based upon angular velocity detection
    Patent number: 10171742
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an image capturing apparatus, a method, and a program for performing appropriate zoom control. An angular velocity detection unit detects an angular velocity of movement of an image capturing apparatus. An operation determination unit determines an operation state of a user based on the angular velocities at a plurality of times. A zoom control unit performs zoom control based on the operation state. As described above, by using angular velocities at a plurality of times, it is possible to identify the operation state in more detail and to perform appropriate zoom control depending on the user's operation state. The present technology can be applied to a digital camera, a digital still camera, a multifunctional mobile phone and the like.
