Patent ID: 8400474

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a remote controller including a motion detecting portion detecting movement of a remote controller body and an actuating signal transmission portion transmitting an actuating signal corresponding to said movement on the basis of a result of detection of said motion detecting portion and not including an operating button; and an imaging instrument including an actuating signal receiving portion receiving said actuating signal transmitted from said actuating signal transmission portion and a display screen portion capable of displaying a first graphical user interface successively selectably displaying a plurality of selection items in association of movement, other than anteroposterior movement, of said remote controller on the basis of said actuating signal, and said imaging instrument further includes a control portion controlling said actuating signal receiving portion and said display screen portion, wherein said selection item of said first graphical user interface is selected and determined on the basis of said actuating signal corresponding to the anteroposterior movement of said remote controller, and said control portion controls so as to successively selectably display said plurality of selection items while said first graphical user interface rotates in the same direction as a rotational direction of said remote controller in association with rotational motion of said remote controller, and controls so as to select and determine any of said plurality of selection items on the basis of the anteroposterior movement of said remote controller, and said control portion is formed so as to display said first graphical user interface on said display screen portion to continuously rotate said first graphical user interface when said remote controller performs rotational motion at a constant angular speed or more, and so as to display said first graphical user interface on said display screen portion to stop rotation of said first graphical user interface when said remote controller is rotated in a direction opposite to a rotational direction of said first graphical user interface in a state where said first graphical user interface is displayed to continuously rotate.
