(For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
特開２０１２－０１９３４１号公報JP 2012-019341 A
　しかしながら、特許文献１の撮影装置では、習熟度が高い撮影者に対しては、撮影者が必要としている情報が何も提示されないという不都合がある。
　本発明は上述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、習熟度が高い撮影者に対しても有効な情報を提示して、撮影の幅を広げ、上達を図ることができる撮影装置および撮影アシスト方法を提供することを目的としている。 However, the photographing apparatus of Patent Document 1 has a disadvantage that no information necessary for the photographer is presented to a photographer with a high level of proficiency.
The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and can provide effective information to a photographer with a high level of proficiency, thereby widening the range of shooting and improving the shooting. The purpose is to provide an assist method.
　本発明の一態様は、撮影者の撮影習熟度に関する情報を取得する習熟度情報取得部と、該習熟度情報取得部により取得された前記撮影習熟度に関する情報に基づいて撮影者の習熟度を判定する習熟度判定部と、該習熟度判定部により前記撮影習熟度が低いと判定された場合に、設定されている撮影パラメータ、設定されている撮影モード、および装着されている機材のうち少なくも１つに対応するアドバイス情報を取得し、前記習熟度判定部により前記撮影習熟度が低くないと判定された場合に、保有していないまたは使用頻度が低い機材、設定されていないまたは使用頻度が低い撮影パラメータ、または、設定されていないまたは使用頻度が低い撮影モードに対応するアドバイス情報を取得するアドバイス情報取得部と、取得されたアドバイス情報を撮影者に提示する情報提示部とを備える撮影装置である。 According to one aspect of the present invention, a proficiency level information acquisition unit that acquires information regarding a shooting proficiency level of a photographer, and a proficiency level of the photographer based on the information regarding the shooting proficiency level acquired by the proficiency level information acquisition unit And a proficiency level determination unit to determine, and when it is determined by the proficiency level determination unit that the shooting proficiency level is low, less of the set shooting parameters, the set shooting mode, and the installed equipment If it is determined that the shooting proficiency level is not low by the proficiency level determination unit, equipment that is not owned or is not used frequently, is not set, or is used frequency An advice information acquisition unit for acquiring advice information corresponding to a shooting parameter that is low, or a shooting mode that is not set or is not frequently used, and an acquired address Is an imaging apparatus and an information presentation unit for presenting the chair information to the photographer.
　本態様によれば、撮影者の撮影習熟度に応じて異なるアドバイス情報が提示される。すなわち、撮影習熟度が低い撮影者には、設定されている撮影パラメータや撮影モード、装着されている機材のうち少なくも１つに対応するアドバイス情報を取得して提示することにより、撮影に慣れさせることができる。一方、撮影習熟度が低くない撮影者には、撮影者にとって不慣れな撮影に対応するアドバイス情報を取得して提示することにより、新たな気づきを与えて、撮影の幅を広げ、さらなる上達を図ることができる。 According to this aspect, different advice information is presented according to the shooting proficiency of the photographer. In other words, a photographer who has a low level of shooting proficiency is accustomed to shooting by acquiring and presenting advice information corresponding to at least one of the set shooting parameters, shooting mode, and installed equipment. Can be made. On the other hand, for photographers who are not low in photography proficiency, by acquiring and presenting advice information corresponding to photography that is unfamiliar to the photographer, it gives a new awareness, widens the scope of photography, and aims to further improve be able to.
　上記態様においては、前記撮影習熟度に関する情報が、累積撮影枚数を含み、前記習熟度判定部が、前記累積撮影枚数が第１閾値枚数より少ない場合に前記撮影習熟度が低いと判定し、前記第１閾値枚数以上の場合に前記撮影習熟度が低くないと判定してもよい。
　このようにすることで、累積撮影枚数により簡易に撮影習熟度を判定することができる。 In the above aspect, the information regarding the shooting proficiency includes the cumulative number of shots, and the proficiency level determination unit determines that the shooting proficiency level is low when the cumulative number of shots is less than a first threshold number, When the number is the first threshold number or more, it may be determined that the shooting proficiency is not low.
In this way, it is possible to easily determine the shooting proficiency level based on the cumulative number of shots.
　また、上記態様においては、前記アドバイス情報取得部は、前記累積撮影枚数が前記第１閾値枚数以上かつ第２閾値枚数より少ない場合に、設定されていないまたは使用頻度が低い撮影パラメータに対応するアドバイス情報を取得してもよい。
　このようにすることで、撮影習熟度は低くないと判定された場合でも、累積撮影枚数が少ない場合には、機材、撮影モードおよび撮影パラメータの中でも最も分かりやすい撮影パラメータを不慣れなものに変更することに関するアドバイス情報を提示することにより、撮影習熟度の向上を図ることができる。 In the above aspect, the advice information acquisition unit may provide advice corresponding to a shooting parameter that is not set or is not frequently used when the cumulative number of shots is greater than or equal to the first threshold number and less than the second threshold number. Information may be acquired.

　すなわち、ステップＳ３において累積撮影枚数Ｐが第３閾値枚数Ｔ３より少ないと判定された場合に、累積撮影枚数Ｐが第４閾値枚数Ｔ４以上であるか否かが判定され（ステップＳ１２）、第４閾値枚数Ｔ４以上である場合には、装着されている交換レンズの累積撮影枚数Ｑが第５閾値枚数Ｔ５以上か否かが判定されるようになっている（ステップＳ１３）。また、ステップＳ３において、累積撮影枚数Ｐが第３閾値枚数Ｔ３以上である場合には、装着されている交換レンズの累積撮影枚数Ｑが第６閾値枚数Ｔ６以上か否かが判定され（ステップＳ１４）、第６閾値枚数Ｔ６より少ない場合にも、ステップＳ１３が実施されるようになっている。 Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the search condition in the case where the cumulative number of shots P is greater than the second threshold number T2 and smaller than the third threshold number T3 and equal to or greater than the fourth threshold number T4 is different from the first embodiment. .
That is, when it is determined in step S3 that the cumulative number of shots P is less than the third threshold number T3, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number of shots P is equal to or greater than the fourth threshold number T4 (step S12). If it is equal to or greater than the threshold number T4, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number Q of captured interchangeable lenses is equal to or greater than the fifth threshold number T5 (step S13). In step S3, if the cumulative number of shots P is equal to or greater than the third threshold number T3, it is determined whether or not the cumulative number of shots Q of the attached interchangeable lens is equal to or greater than the sixth threshold number T6 (step S14). ), Step S13 is also performed when the number is smaller than the sixth threshold number T6.

Equipment: Equipment installed, and
Shooting mode: a frequently used shooting mode, and
Shooting parameter: A shooting parameter having a high frequency of use is set as a search condition (condition E) (step S15).
　累積撮影枚数Ｐが多いが、装着している交換レンズについて累積撮影枚数Ｑが少ないのは、交換レンズを購入して間もない状況であると推定できるので、装着している機材についてのアドバイス情報を提示することが撮影者に対して有効である。 Although the cumulative number of shots P is large, it can be estimated that the cumulative number of shots Q for the attached interchangeable lens is small. Is effective for the photographer.
　ステップＳ１４において交換レンズの累積撮影枚数Ｑが第６閾値枚数Ｔ６以上であると判定された場合には、カメラ本体として後継機種が発売されているか否かが判定されるようになっている（ステップＳ１６）。後継機種が発売されていない場合には、使用しているカメラ本体の１ランク上のカメラ本体があるか否かが判定されるようになっている（ステップＳ１７）。 When it is determined in step S14 that the cumulative number Q of the interchangeable lenses is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold number T6, it is determined whether or not a succeeding model is released as the camera body (step S14). S16). If no successor model has been released, it is determined whether there is a camera body that is one rank higher than the camera body being used (step S17).
　ステップＳ１７において使用しているカメラ本体の１ランク上のカメラ本体がない場合およびステップＳ１３において交換レンズの累積撮影枚数Ｑが第５閾値枚数Ｔ５以上である場合には、使用している交換レンズの１ランク上の交換レンズがあるか否かが判定されるようになっている（ステップＳ１８）。
　使用している交換レンズの１ランク上のカメラ本体があるか否かについては、機材情報データベース１１から取得された情報に基づいて、使用している交換レンズの１つ上の難易度のレベルを有する機種が存在するか否かにより判定することができる。 If there is no camera body that is one rank higher than the camera body used in step S17 and if the cumulative number Q of the interchangeable lenses is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold number T5 in step S13, It is determined whether there is an interchangeable lens one rank higher (step S18).
Whether there is a camera body that is one rank higher than the interchangeable lens being used is determined based on the information acquired from the equipment information database 11 based on the level of difficulty on the interchangeable lens being used. The determination can be made based on whether or not there is a model to be included.
　ステップＳ１８において使用している交換レンズの１ランク上の交換レンズが存在すると判定された場合には、
　機材：１ランク上の交換レンズ、かつ、
　撮影モード：使用頻度が高い撮影モード、かつ、
　撮影パラメータ：使用頻度が高い撮影パラメータ
が検索条件（条件Ｆ）として設定されるようになっている（ステップＳ１９）。 If it is determined in step S18 that there is an interchangeable lens that is one rank higher than the interchangeable lens used,
Equipment: 1 rank interchangeable lens, and
Shooting mode: a frequently used shooting mode, and
Shooting parameter: A shooting parameter having a high frequency of use is set as a search condition (condition F) (step S19).
　ステップＳ１８において使用している交換レンズの１ランク上の交換レンズがないと判定された場合には、
　機材：保有していない交換レンズまたは保有していないアクセサリ、かつ、
　撮影モード：使用頻度が高い撮影モード、かつ、
　撮影パラメータ：使用頻度が高い撮影パラメータ

Shooting parameter: A shooting parameter having a high frequency of use is set as a search condition (condition G) (step S20).
　ステップＳ１７において使用しているカメラ本体の１ランク上のカメラ本体があると判定された場合には、
　機材：使用しているカメラ本体の１ランク上のカメラ本体、かつ、
　撮影モード：使用頻度が高い撮影モード、かつ、
　撮影パラメータ：使用頻度が高い撮影パラメータ
が検索条件（条件Ｈ）として設定されるようになっている（ステップＳ２１）。 If it is determined in step S17 that there is a camera body that is one rank higher than the camera body used,
Equipment: Camera body one rank higher than the camera body used, and
Shooting mode: a frequently used shooting mode, and
Shooting parameter: A shooting parameter having a high use frequency is set as a search condition (condition H) (step S21).
　使用しているカメラ本体の１ランク上のカメラ本体があるか否かについては、機材情報データベース１１から取得された情報に基づいて、使用しているカメラ本体の１つ上の難易度のレベルを有する機種が存在するか否かにより判定することができる。 Whether there is a camera body that is one rank higher than the camera body being used is determined based on the information acquired from the equipment information database 11 based on the level of difficulty one level above the camera body being used. The determination can be made based on whether or not there is a model to be possessed.
　ステップＳ１６において後継機種が発売されていると判定された場合には、

It can be determined based on whether there is a large ID number at the same difficulty level.
　ステップＳ１９において装着していない交換レンズ、あるいはステップＳ２０において保有していない交換レンズのアドバイス情報を提示する場合、多数存在する交換レンズの中からどの交換レンズを検索条件にするかについては、種類が同じで難易度のレベルが１つ上の交換レンズまたは難易度のレベルは同じで種類が異なる交換レンズとする。 When the advice information of the interchangeable lens that is not mounted in step S19 or the interchangeable lens that is not held in step S20 is presented, there are various types of interchangeable lenses that are used as search conditions from among a large number of interchangeable lenses. The interchangeable lenses having the same difficulty level and the interchangeability lenses having the same difficulty level or different types are used.
　このように本実施形態に係る撮影装置１０および撮影アシスト方法によれば、累積撮影枚数Ｐのみならず装着されている交換レンズについての累積撮影枚数Ｑに応じても撮影習熟度を判定するので、より細かく撮影者の撮影習熟度に合った効果的なアドバイス情報を提示することができるという利点がある。
　また、撮影者が装着していない交換レンズやカメラ本体のアドバイス情報を提示する際に、装着されているカメラ本体や交換レンズの種類および難易度のレベルからアドバイス情報を提供することで、撮影者の嗜好や撮影スタイルにより合致した情報を提供することができる。 As described above, according to the photographing apparatus 10 and the photographing assist method according to the present embodiment, since the photographing proficiency level is determined not only according to the cumulative photographing number P but also according to the cumulative photographing number Q for the attached interchangeable lens, There is an advantage that it is possible to present effective advice information that matches the photographer's shooting proficiency in more detail.

　そして、図９に示されるように、ステップＳ１７において１ランク上のカメラ本体がないと判定された場合の検索条件において第２実施形態と相違している。
　すなわち、ステップＳ１７において１ランク上のカメラ本体がないと判定された場合およびステップＳ１３において交換レンズの累積撮影枚数Ｑが第５閾値枚数Ｔ５以上である場合には、累積撮影情報データベース２から取得した情報の中から累積撮影枚数Ｐの最も多い被写体を選択し（ステップＳ２３）、機材情報データベース１１から取得した情報の中から選択された被写体に適した交換レンズを抽出する（ステップＳ２４）。 As shown in FIG. 9, the search condition in the case where it is determined in step S17 that there is no higher rank camera body is different from the second embodiment.
That is, when it is determined in step S17 that there is no camera body that is one rank higher and when the cumulative number Q of the interchangeable lens is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold number T5 in step S13, it is acquired from the cumulative shooting information database 2. A subject having the largest cumulative number of images P is selected from the information (step S23), and an interchangeable lens suitable for the selected subject is extracted from the information acquired from the equipment information database 11 (step S24).
　そして、抽出された交換レンズ内に１ランク上のレベルの交換レンズがあるか否かが判定され（ステップＳ１８）、判定結果に応じてステップＳ１９またはステップＳ２０が実施される。 Then, it is determined whether or not the extracted interchangeable lens includes an interchangeable lens of a higher rank (step S18), and step S19 or step S20 is performed depending on the determination result.
