Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: at least one central processor that reads out and executes a program recorded on a non-transitory memory, the at least one central processor being programmed to control: a recording unit configured to record a moving image captured by an imaging unit on a recording medium; a detection unit configured to detect a matter of which warning is to be given occurring in the imaging apparatus; a display unit configured to display the moving image captured by the imaging unit and a warning display indicating that the detection unit has detected the matter of which warning is to be given; and a control unit configured to control the display unit such that, if the display unit has not yet displayed the warning display about the matter of which warning is to be given when the detection unit has detected the matter of which warning is to be given occurring in the imaging apparatus, the control unit causes the display unit to display the warning display about the matter of which warning is to be given in response to detection of the matter of which warning is to be given, irrespective of whether the recording unit is recording the moving image, and, if the display unit has already displayed the warning display about the matter of which warning is to be given when the detection unit has detected the matter of which warning is to be given occurring in the imaging apparatus, the control unit causes the display unit not to display the warning display about the matter of which warning is to be given when the recording unit is recording the moving image, and causes the display unit to display the warning display about the matter of which warning is to be given if the detection unit has still detected the matter of which warning is to be given when the recording unit has stopped recording the moving image, wherein the control unit controls the display unit such that, if the matter of which warning is to be given occurs when the recording unit is recording the moving image and the matter has still existed when the recording unit has stopped recording the moving image, the control unit causes the display unit to display the warning display once during the recording unit is recording the moving image and to display the warning display again in response to stopping of the recording, wherein the control unit controls the display unit to display the warning display every time recording is stopped when the matter has still existed and stop the display unit from displaying the warning display only when the matter no longer exists, and wherein the matter of which warning is to be given occurring in the imaging apparatus is a reduction in a fan rotation speed detected by the detection unit by analyzing a number of rotations of the fan and comparing the number of rotations of the fan with a predetermined threshold.
