  • Imaging apparatus and control method therefor
    Patent number: 11974030
    Abstract: To suppress a temperature rise in an imaging apparatus without giving an unnatural impression to the user. An imaging device generates imaging data. A data buffer stores the imaging data. An image processing unit performs image processing on the imaging data using the data buffer. A storage control unit causes a storage unit to store the processed imaging data. A temperature monitoring unit monitors temperatures of a plurality of different locations in the imaging apparatus. A speed control unit controls a storage speed in the storage unit on the basis of the temperatures.
    Type: Grant
