Abstract:
1. An image capturing device, comprising: an image sensor, receiving an optical signal, and converting the optical signal into an image signal; a vibrating dust removal unit, producing a vibration to perform a dust removal of the image sensor; an optical component adapter; a detector, for detecting whether a detachable optical component is connected to the optical component adapter, and generating a detecting signal; a touch screen, displaying the image signal, and allowing a user to touch a dust-removal position; and a controller, entering into a dust-removal mode upon the receipt of the detecting signal, or controlling a frequency or an amplitude of the vibration generated by the vibrating dust removal unit according to the dust-removal position; wherein when the user continues touching the dust-removal position, the controller controls the vibrating dust removal unit to increase the amplitude or the frequency of the vibration gradually.
