A digital photographing apparatus and method for saving power of the digital photographing apparatus

摘要

PURPOSE: A digital photographing device and a power control method thereof are provided to analyze a compressed image frame and reduce power consumption of a digital photographing device. CONSTITUTION: A digital photographing apparatus compresses in order for a live view image to be transmitted to a remote control terminal(502). The digital photographing apparatus counts the number of I frames(504). The digital photographing apparatus controls power off in case the number of I frames is less than a first threshold value(506,508). The digital photographing apparatus turns off power(510).
