Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus comprising: an operation unit configured to set image sensing conditions manually in the image sensing apparatus; a selection unit configured to select whether or not to use, when the image sensing apparatus is turned on next time, the image sensing conditions manually set at a time of turning off the image sensing apparatus; a memory device configured to store the manually set image sensing conditions of the image sensing apparatus when the image sensing apparatus is turned off; a determination unit configured to determine, at a time of turning on the image sensing apparatus, whether or not said selection unit selects to use the manually set image sensing conditions at the time of turning off the image sensing apparatus when the image sensing apparatus is turned on; and a control unit configured to, when a determination result of said determination unit is affirmative, control to automatically read the manually set image sensing conditions stored in said memory device and to automatically set the read manually set image sensing conditions in the image sensing apparatus, wherein the manually set image sensing conditions are selected from the group including view finder mode, display of setting conditions, compression ratio of image size, drive mode, strobe mode, focus type, exposure correction, white balance and electronic zooming.
