ABSTRACT:
A digital camera comprises an angular velocity detector for detecting angular velocity of a camera body in a yaw direction and a pitch direction. In capturing panoramic image, when movement of the camera body is detected, a system controller determines an image capturing interval based on the detected angular velocity in the yaw direction, and controls a CCD image sensor to perform plural times of image capturing at the determined image capturing interval. The system controller temporarily stores the captured image data for the plural images in a buffer memory, and controls an image signal processor based on the angular velocity in the pitch direction and the image-capturing interval so as to compose the image data for the plural images to form a single panoramic image.
