ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a camcorder, and more particularly, to an automatic objects tracing device of a camcorder. When the camcorder operates with a self-timer function, motion vectors are detected on the image, and it is determined whether there is movement of an object or movement of the camcorder itself. When it is determined that there is movement of the object, the moving direction and quantity of the object are determined and the camera is made to turn in response to the moving of the object. In the case where the position of the camcorder's zoom lens is at the telephoto position, the turning speed of the camera is made to be faster, and in the case where the lens is at a WIDE angle position, it is made to be slower, so that the object is photographed by effectively following it.
