Abstract
A photographing apparatus includes a position estimation unit and a photographing control unit. The position estimation unit is configured to use a long-term template of a target to be tracked and a short-term template of the target to be tracked, which are created from a past taken image, to estimate a position of the target to be tracked in a current taken image. The long-term template is a template updated at a longer interval, and the short-term template is a template updated at a shorter interval. The photographing control unit is configured to control photographing on the basis of the position estimated by the position estimation unit.
