  • Patent number: 10334169
    Abstract: When a movement of an image pickup section detected by a sensor satisfies a predetermined condition, a data processing section sets, in a reference cutout position set in advance, a specified position of a cutout region for cutting out an image and generates the image data for display. When the movement does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the data processing section shifts the specified position from the reference cutout position in a direction opposite to the movement of the image pickup section from a reference position and generates the image data for display.
