ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, a self photographing is effected upon a detection of a face, which prevents a photographing of a failed image which does not include a face of a person in intending photographing a person. In particular, in generating a self portrait photograph where the photographer himself/herself is the object, even through the photographer is away from the photographing apparatus operation, a clocking and a shutter control are performed to obtain an image having the photographer in a proper position only when the photographer properly enters in its field angle. The proper entrance of an object in a field angle facilitates an automatic exposure control and automatic focusing control.
