Abstract:
A subject detection unit of an imaging apparatus detects a subject image from an image. An automatic zoom control unit designates the subject image detected by the subject detection unit and cancels the designation. The automatic zoom control unit automatically selects a specific composition among a plurality of compositions and sets a reference size of the subject image used to control a zoom magnification based on the elected composition. The automatic zoom control unit controls the zoom magnification based on the reference size and a size of the subject image sequentially detected by the subject detection unit. At least one of composition selection candidates selected by the automatic zoom control unit is different according to whether the subject image is designated by the automatic zoom control unit.

Claim (Index 39):
A non-transitory recording medium recording a control program of a zoom control device which causes a computer to perform each step of a control method for the zoom control device, the method comprising:\n acquiring detection information of a subject image detected from an image; designating a photographing target subject the subject image indicated by the detection information; automatically selecting a specific scene composition from among a plurality of scene composition candidates; setting a reference size of the subject image used to control a zoom magnification based on the specific scene composition selected in the selecting of the specific scene composition; and controlling the zoom magnification based on the reference size set in the selecting of the reference size and a size of the subject image indicated by the detection information sequentially acquired in the acquiring of the detection information, wherein when a plurality of subject images is detected from the image, the specific scene composition is changed according to whether the photographing target subject is or is not designated by the designation unit and the zoom magnification is changed according to whether the photographing target subject is or is not designated by the designation unit.
