Photographic apparatus
View Patent ↗A photographic apparatus comprises a flash that flashes and a controller. The controller obtains information regarding state of charge of the flash when an operation for preparing a photographic operation is conducted before the photographic operation corresponding to fully depressing a release button, calculates a first time until the flash reaches a charged state where the flash can flash on the basis of the information, calculates a second time after fully depressing said release button, and determines whether the photographic apparatus performs the photographic operation using the flash after the second time has elapsed or the photographic apparatus aborts the photographic operation on the basis of a comparison between the second time and a threshold. The second time is a difference between the first time and an elapsed time from a time point when the first time is calculated.
1. A photographic apparatus comprising:
a flash that flashes; and
a controller that obtains information regarding state of charge of said flash, that calculate a time until said flash reaches a charged state where said flash can flash on the basis of said information, and that determines whether said photographic apparatus performs an photographic operation using said flash after said time has elapsed or aborts said photographic operation on the basis of a comparison between said time and a threshold.
2. The photographic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said threshold is set in accordance with capture mode of said photographic apparatus.
3. A photographic apparatus comprising:
a flash that flashes; and
a controller that obtains information regarding state of charge of said flash when an operation for preparing a photographic operation is conducted before said photographic operation corresponding to fully depressing a release button, that calculates a first time until said flash reaches a charged state where said flash can flash on the basis of said information, that calculates a second time after fully depressing said release button, and that determines whether said photographic apparatus performs said photographic operation using said flash after said second time has elapsed or said photographic apparatus aborts said photographic operation on the basis of a comparison between said second time and a threshold;
said second time being a difference between said first time and an elapsed time from a time point when said first time is calculated.
4. The photographic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein said threshold is set in accordance with capture mode of said photographic apparatus.
5. A method for determining a photographic operation of a photographic apparatus, comprising:
obtaining information regarding state of charge of a flash when an operation for preparing said photographic operation is conducted before said photographic operation corresponding to fully depressing a release button;
calculating a first time until said flash reaches a charged state where said flash can flash on the basis of said information;
calculating a second time that is a difference between said first time and an elapsed time from a time point when said first time is calculated after fully depressing said release button; and
determining whether said photographic apparatus performs said photographic operation using said flash after said second time has elapsed or said photographic apparatus aborts said photographic operation on the basis of said second time.
