ABSTRACT:
As shown in FIG.2B, a photographing area is divided into a plurality of blocks. The block at the center of the photographing area is defined as an observation block31, and the blocks at the periphery of the photographing area are defined as background blocks32. When the number of background blocks32having the largest number of identical motion vectors is larger than a threshold m, when the scalar quantity of the motion vectors of these background blocks32with the largest number is larger than a threshold v, and when the scalar quantity of the motion vector of the observation block31is smaller than a threshold vc, the digital camera1judges that the user is performing a follow shot and there is no blurring of the observed photographic subject, and performs an automatic shooting.
