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. The display unit displays images of the video data recorded in the second video mode. The still image of the video data recorded in the second video mode is selected by a selection operation on a screen of the display unit.

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, 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,   wherein the display unit displays images of the video data recorded in the second video mode, and   wherein the still image of the video data recorded in the second video mode is selected by a selection operation on a screen of the display unit.   
     
     
         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 selection operation is an operation on selection button or a touch operation.   
     
     
         4 . The imaging device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the images at a predetermined time interval are displayed on the screen of the display unit when the still image is selected.   
     
     
         5 . The imaging device according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the images at a predetermined time interval displayed on the screen of the display unit are reduced images.
