    Camera with power lock function and control method thereof
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a camera having a power lock function and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a camera and a control method thereof in which a photographer ignores an input of a power switch accidentally pressed.
    In a conventional camera, when shooting in a general shooting mode, the camera may be turned off due to a power button being pressed due to a mistake of the photographer.
    At this time, the photographer should press the camera power button again to turn the camera on and then set the mode to be photographed again to perform shooting.
    As such, when the power button is wrongly pressed and the camera operation is turned off, there is a problem of missing a scene to be photographed, or delaying the shooting by resetting to a previously set mode.
    Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when the power button is wrongly pressed in a specific mode set by the photographer, the power button input is not accepted, and thus the camera power is turned on due to an incorrect power button input. It is to provide a camera and a control method thereof having a power lock function that prevents it from being turned off.
    1 is a block diagram of a camera having a power lock function according to an embodiment of the present invention,
    2 is a flowchart of a control method of a camera having a power lock function according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    As a means for achieving the above object, the present invention,
    Power supply means for supplying power;
    Power switch means for receiving a power on / off input from the photographer;
    Photographing mode selection switch means for selecting a photographing mode;
    Photographing control means for receiving an input of the photographer from the power switch means to control the power supply means and receiving a photographer's input through the photographing mode selection switch means to select a photographing mode;
    The photographing control means is characterized in that when the specific photographing mode is set to the power switch ignoring mode, the input from the power switch means is ignored until the power switch ignoring mode is released.
    Another means of this invention for achieving the above object,
    Setting the specific shooting mode to the power switch ignore mode;
    Determining whether the power switch disregarding mode set in the specific photographing mode is released;
    Ignoring the power switch input for controlling the power supplied to the camera if the power switch disregarding mode set in the specific shooting mode is not released;
    And accepting the power switch input when the power switch disregarding mode set to the specific photographing mode is released.
    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
    1 is a block diagram of a camera having a power lock function according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    As shown in FIG. 1, a camera having a power locking function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a power supply unit 10 for supplying power to a camera; A power switch 20 which receives an input of a photographer for controlling the power supplied from the power supply 10; A shooting mode selection switch 30 for receiving input from the photographer to select various shooting modes; Controls the power supply unit 10 by receiving the input of the power switch 20, sets the shooting mode by the input of the shooting mode selection switch 30, and the power switch when the specific shooting mode is set to the power switch override mode. A shooting control unit 40 which ignores the power switch input until the ignore mode is released; A warning unit 50 for outputting a warning sound to the photographer by the shooting control unit 40 when the power switch input is set when the power switch ignore mode is set; And a display unit 60 for displaying a message or the like regarding shooting.
    The power switch disregarding mode according to the embodiment of the present invention is set only when in the normal mode in which the camera is ready to shoot when the camera power switch is turned on.
    In addition, the power switch disregard mode is canceled when the power switch is input once or when the shooting mode setting switch is input to switch to another shooting mode.
    2 is a flowchart of a control method of a camera having a power lock function according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    As shown in FIG. 2, a control method of a camera having a power locking function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: turning on a power of a camera (S1); Setting a power switch ignore mode (S2); Determining whether there is an input of the power switch 20 (S3); Alerting the photographer if there is an input of the power switch 20 in step S3; Determining whether the power switch 20 has been input again (S5); Turning off the power of the camera (S6) when there is an input of the power switch (20) in the step (S5); Performing photographing in the power switch disregarding mode (S7) when there is no input of the power switch 20 in the step S3; Determining whether there is an input of the shooting mode selection switch 30 (S8); If there is an input of the photographing mode selection switch 30 in the step S8, it is determined whether there is an input of the power switch 20 (S9).
    The operation of the camera having the power lock function according to the embodiment of the present invention by the above configuration is as follows.
    First, when the power switch 20 of the camera is pressed, the photographing control unit 40 controls the power supply unit 10 so that power is supplied to the entire camera (S1).
    When power is supplied to the camera, the photographing controller 40 initializes the camera and sets the camera to the normal mode in which the camera is ready to photograph.
    At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the power switch ignore mode is set only in the normal mode, the power switch ignore mode is also set when the camera is turned on and set to the normal mode (S2).
    As described above, when the photographer presses the power switch 20 incorrectly while performing the shooting while the power switch is in the ignore mode (S3), the power control unit 20 is incorrect because the shooting control unit 40 is set to the ignore power switch mode. In order to notify the photographer that it is pressed, a warning sound is generated through the warning unit 50 (S4).
    However, if the photographer presses the power switch 20 to turn off the camera, the warning sound is generated, and then the power switch 20 is pressed again (S5), and the shooting control unit 40 controls the power supply unit 10 to control the camera. Turn off the power (S6).
    On the other hand, if the power switch 20 is not input while continuing to shoot (S7) by using the shooting mode selection switch 30 to switch the shooting mode (S8) to cancel the power switch override mode.
    As such, when the power switch 20 is pressed while the power switch ignore mode is released (S9), since the power switch ignore mode is released, the photographing controller 40 controls the power supply unit 10 to turn off the camera. (S6).
    According to another embodiment of the present invention, a mode in which the camera is turned on and the standby mode for shooting is not set to the power switch override mode, but a mode in which one or more modes of continuous shooting must be performed more than once with one mode selection, such as a multi-shot mode When the power switch disregard mode is set, when the power switch 20 is mistakenly pressed before the second shooting on the same mode after the first shooting, the power switch 20 ignores the input so that the shooting can be performed successfully.
    In another embodiment, when the camera is turned on, the camera is turned on regardless of the time the power switch 20 is pressed. However, when the camera is turned off, the time that the power switch 20 is pressed is constant. By turning off the camera only when the time is over, the camera is prevented from being turned off when the power switch 20 is pressed by mistake, not by the photographer.
    As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the power button is wrongly pressed in a specific mode set by the photographer, the power button input is not accepted, thereby preventing power from being turned off by the camera. A camera having a locking function and a control method thereof can be provided.
