Patent ID: 8072499

Claim:
An image capture device, comprising: an image capture unit configured to capture a plurality of successive images within a frame; a motion vector detection unit configured to detect a motion vector of a succession of images of an object within the captured plurality of successive images; a control unit configured to determine whether a detected motion vector is of at least a predetermined magnitude in a fixed direction; a warning unit configured to issue, during image capturing, a warning, to a user, when the detected motion vector is of at least the predetermined magnitude in the fixed direction, that a frame-out possibility exists and to indicate to the user in which direction to move the frame so as to prevent the frame-out from occurring; a display for displaying the successive images in a sequential manner; and a region designation section configured to designate a specific region of any of the images displayed on the display; wherein the motion vector detection unit detects the motion vector for only the specific region designated by the region designation section, when the specific region is not included in a first image captured by the image capture unit, the control unit determines a movement amount of the specific region with respect to the image based on the motion vector detected by the motion vector detection unit for a second image immediately before the first image; and the device, based on said determined movement amount, displays a display element indicating a direction and an amount that the specific region is moved from the second image.
