Abstract
An electronic device comprises: an image sensor; an input unit used for inputting an instruction that accompanies switching of an actuation method of the image sensor; and a controller that switches the actuation method of the image sensor using either of a first switching method and a second switching method based on a predetermined condition according to an input of the instruction. In the first switching method, the actuation method is switched via a standby state of the image sensor according to the input of the instruction, and in the second switching method, the actuation method is switched at a timing of a start of a next frame immediately after the input of the instruction while actuating the image sensor at a predetermined frame rate.
