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; a controller that generates video data; and a display unit. 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 displays a display indicating the second video mode on the display unit at least one of during setting to the second video mode, during recording in the second video mode, and during displaying a video recorded 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;   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; and   a display unit,   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   displays a display indicating the second video mode on the display unit at least one of during setting to the second video mode, during recording in the second video mode, and during displaying a video recorded 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 displays a display indicating the second video mode using a message on the display unit during setting to the second video mode.   
     
     
         4 . The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the controller displays a display indicating the second video mode using an icon on the display unit during recording in the second video mode or during reproducing a video recorded in the second video mode.
