Publication number: 20200092479Abstract: An image pickup device includes a camera, a display to display an image being obtained by the camera, and a touch panel that overlaps the display and is capable of detecting a flick operation performed on the touch panel. While the display displays the image being obtained by the camera, a brightness of the display is changed from a first brightness to a second brightness by a flick operation on the touch panel from down to up in a vertical direction. The second brightness is brighter than the first brightness. While the display displays the image being obtained by the camera, a setting other than a setting of the brightness of the display is changed by a flick operation on the touch panel from left to right in a lateral direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2019Publication date: March 19, 2020Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi ISHIHARA, Kazutaka YAMAMOTO, Katsuyuki ITO
