Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4657960
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Power consumption of a photographing apparatus during detecting a face and automatically focusing on the face is reduced. An image representing a face is detected from images taken through an imaging lens, which has an automatic focusing unit for automatically adjusting a point of focus to focus on a detected face. When the image representing a face is detected, whether or not a photographing condition at the time when the image representing the face is taken satisfies an appropriate photographing condition is determined. If it is determined that the photographing condition satisfies the appropriate photographing condition, the automatic focusing unit is controlled to carry out the focusing operation to focus on the face. If it is determined that the photographing condition does not satisfy the appropriate photographing condition, the automatic focusing unit is controlled to not carry out the focusing operation.
