Abstract:
1. An imaging device, comprising: an imaging section photoelectrically converting an object image and outputting image data; a display section displaying the object image based on the image data; an acceleration sensor section detecting vibration in at least one direction among a plurality of directions of a camera; a determination section continuously determining an output equal to or greater than a gravity force by means of the acceleration sensor section; and a power supply control section supplying power to the imaging section upon determination of an attitude change in a vertical direction when a photographer sets the camera while viewing the display section of the camera by detecting an equal to or greater than the gravity force by the determination section and if a reduction in the gravitational acceleration in an inclination direction is detected within a lapse of a predetermined period of time and also upon detection of a predetermined acceleration, wherein the power supply control section supplies power to the imaging section when detecting change and also detecting that the camera has returned to an original attitude.
