Imaging device enabling automatic taking of photo when pre-registered object moves into photographer's intended shooting distance

摘要

An imaging device in the present disclosure includes: an imaging unit including an imaging optical system configured to form an image of an object and an imaging element configured to convert an optical image formed by the imaging optical system into an image signal and output the image signal; a distance-measuring section configured to obtain distance information of the object; an image display section configured to display an image of the image signal; an object recording section configured to previously register and record an object to be shot; and a distance designation section configured to designate a distance at which the object is to be shot. The imaging optical system performs a focusing operation for the distance designated by the distance designation section. The imaging unit performs shooting exposure when the object recorded previously by the object recording section is located at the distance designated by the distance designation section.
