ABSTRACT:
A swinging camera includes a distance measuring section, an automatic release section, a rotating section, an angle detecting section, a determining section, a storage section, and a control section. The rotating section rotates the camera within one plane. The angle detecting section detects a rotational angle of the camera set by the rotating section and outputs rotational angle data. The determining section operates the distance measuring section in unit of a predetermined angle while the camera is rotated by at least one revolution by operating the rotating section prior to photography, and determines on the basis of output distance data and/or rotational angle data whether objects to be photographed are people. The storage section stores only rotational angle data of objects determined to be people, of rotational angle data output from the angle detecting section. The control section rotates the camera to each angular position based on the rotational angle data stored in the storage section when the automatic release section is operated, and stops the camera at each angular position.
