Abstract
A method of operating an image-capturing device for displaying an image of a subject on a screen, and performing image-capturing operation for the subject in response to a user's input to the screen. The method includes: a first step of detecting a pressing force of the user's finger press on the screen; a second step of displaying an image capture icon on the screen, the icon being actuated by the user for commanding the device for the capturing operation; a third step of, in response to a determination that the touch position overlaps with a region of the icon displayed, and that the force is above a first threshold, initiating focusing operation to focus on the subject; and a fourth step of, after the focusing operation is initiated, in response to a determination that the force is above a second threshold larger than the first threshold, initiating the capturing operation.
