Imaging device

Abstract

The imaging device includes: an imaging unit that generates image data from optical information input through an optical system unit; an image processor that performs a predetermined process to the image data generated by the imaging unit; and a controller that generates video data. The controller sets a set value relating to the video capturing in each of a first video mode and a second video mode, and automatically sets the set value relating to the video capturing in the second video mode to a set value more suitable for recording a still image than in the first video mode, and performs a marking process to designate a frame at a timing of a pressing an operation button when the operation button is pressed during the recording in the second video mode.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An imaging device comprising:
 an imaging unit that generates image data from optical information input through an optical system unit;   an image processor that performs a predetermined process to the image data generated by the imaging unit; and   a controller that controls at least one of the optical system unit, the imaging unit, and the image processor based on a set value relating to video capturing so as to generate video data,   wherein the controller   sets a set value relating to the video capturing in each of a first video mode and a second video mode,   automatically sets the set value relating to the video capturing in the second video mode to a set value more suitable for recording a still image than in the first video mode, and   performs a marking process to designate a frame at a timing of a pressing an operation button when the operation button is pressed during the recording in the second video mode.   
     
     
         2 . The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the recording in the second video mode is performed from start to end of a video recording.   
     
     
         3 . The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller records information indicating a marking timing in association with the video data when a marking instruction is issued.   
     
     
         4 . The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller records information indicating a marking timing and a identifier for identifying a marking in association with the video data when a marking instruction is issued.
