Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image-capturing apparatus includes an image-capturing unit configured to capture image data of a subject and to store the captured image data in an image-capturing operation; a speed detector configured to detect speed information; and a controller configured to control the image-capturing unit so that, in an automatic image-capturing process that is not based on a shutter operation of a user, a distance moved by the image-capturing apparatus is computed on the basis of information from the speed detector, and the image-capturing operation is performed in response to the fact that a computation result indicating that the image-capturing apparatus has moved a predetermined distance is obtained.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image-capturing apparatus comprising: an image-capturing unit configured to capture image data in an image-capturing operation; a speed detection unit configured to detect speed information; and a control unit configured to control the image-capturing unit such that, in an automatic image-capturing process, a distance moved by the image-capturing apparatus is computed based, at least in part, on the speed information, and the image-capturing operation…
