Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: an image sensor; an image obtainer that obtains a plurality of images from the image sensor; a posture detector that obtains posture information of the imaging apparatus; a posture information accumulating buffer that accumulates plural items of posture information obtained by the posture detector; and a power saving mode setter that activates and deactivates a power saving mode in which power consumption is suppressed, wherein the power saving mode setter determines to activate and deactivate the power saving mode based on a value corresponding to the plural items of accumulated posture information in the posture information accumulating buffer, and wherein the activation and the deactivation of the power saving mode is determined based on a difference value between a maximum value and a minimum value of the plural items of accumulated posture information in the posture information accumulating buffer, wherein previously accumulated posture data in the posture information accumulating buffer is deleted and new posture data is added to the posture information accumulating buffer, when the posture information accumulating buffer is full of the previously accumulated posture data.
