Patent ID: 8786724

Claim:
An image-capturing device comprising: an image-capturing section configured and arranged to capture an image of a subject and to repeatedly generate image-capture data of frames which represent single video frames; an image-data-generation section configured to carry out processing for generating image data indicating an image of the subject, on the basis of image-capture data of the image-capturing section; a progress-information-acquiring section configured to acquire progress information indicating progress of the processing for generating the image data; and an image-capture control section configured to control, on the basis of the progress information, a timing for starting the generating of the image-capture data for the next frame in the image-capturing section at a timing used as a reference for starting a process for generating image data on the basis of image-capture data of the next frame following a frame for which a process for generating the image data has started, the image-capture control section determining, on the basis of the progress information, whether or not preparations are in order for starting processing for generating the image data corresponding to the next frame in the image-data-generation section, and, in the case that the preparations are not in order, waiting until the preparations are in order before outputting a vertical synchronization signal.
