Patent ID: 7911511

Claim:
An imaging device operable to output an optical image of an object as an electrical image signal, the imaging device comprising: a display unit for displaying an image in accordance with the electrical image signal; an imaging optical system for forming the optical image of the object; an imaging unit for receiving the optical image which is formed by the imaging optical system and for converting the optical image into the electrical image signal; a motion detection unit for detecting a motion of the imaging device during consecutive shooting; a recording unit for recording shot images obtained by the imaging unit, reduced images of the shot images, and motion information indicating the motion of the imaging device, which has been detected by the motion detection unit, for each of the reduced images, wherein the shot images, the reduced images, and the motion information are related with one another; an image extraction unit for extracting a plurality of reduced images of the consecutive shooting from among the reduced images recorded in the recording unit; an image display control unit for causing the display unit to display the plurality of reduced images extracted by the image extraction unit; and an attitude detection unit for detecting a shooting attitude of the imaging device, wherein: the image display control unit arranges the plurality of reduced images extracted by the image extraction unit in accordance with the motion information and causes the display unit to display the plurality of reduced images extracted by the image extraction unit, the recording unit records attitude information indicating an attitude of the imaging device for each of the reduced images, recorded by the recording unit, of the consecutive shooting, and the image display control unit restores respective angles of the plurality of reduced images extracted by the image extraction unit to angles corresponding to shooting attitudes of the imaging device in accordance with the attitude information, and causes the display unit to display restored reduced images.
