Image capturing method, control method therefor, and program
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit that captures an image of a subject and generates a captured image; a determination-information storage unit that stores items of determination information, each item of determination information being used to determine whether the captured image includes a corresponding one of target objects; an operation accepting unit that accepts a specifying operation of specifying at least one of the target objects for which the items of determination information are stored; a target-object detecting unit that selects determination information regarding the specified target object from among the items of determination information stored in the determination-information storage means and detects the specified target object in the captured image using the selected determination information; and a recording control unit that causes the captured image generated at the time the specified target object is detected to be recorded.
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
audio-information storage means for storing audio information regarding each of a plurality of target objects in association with the target object;
operation accepting means for accepting a specifying operation of specifying at least one of the plurality of target objects stored in the audio-information storage means;
image capturing means for capturing an image of a subject and generating a captured image;
target-object detecting means for detecting the specified target object in the captured image;
audio-output control means for causing, at the time the specified target object is detected, sound corresponding to audio information stored in association with the detected target object in the audio-information storage means to be output; and
recording control means for causing the captured image to be recorded after the sound corresponding to the audio information regarding the detected target object is output,
wherein each of the plurality of target objects stored in the audio-information storage means has a front side and a lateral side,
wherein the target-object detecting means detects the front side or the lateral side of the specified target object in the captured image,
wherein the audio-output control means causes, at the time the front side or the lateral side of the specified target object is detected, sound corresponding to audio information stored in the audio-information storage means in association with the target object whose front side or lateral side is detected to be output,
wherein the recording control means causes the captured image to be recorded when, at the time the front side of the specified target object is detected, sound corresponding to audio information regarding the target object whose front side is detected is output, and
wherein the audio-output control means causes, when the front side of the specified target object is detected after the lateral side of the specified target object is detected, the sound corresponding to the audio information regarding the target object whose front side is detected to be output.
