Abstract
An image capturing device including a mode switch rotatable to change a pointing position movable between three predetermined positions corresponding to at least three image-capturing modes including a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode, to switch between the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode. The image capturing device further includes a power switch and circuitry. The power switch receives a user input for turning on or off the power of the image capturing devices. The circuitry controls the image capturing device to operate in one of the three image-capturing modes. When the power switch receives a user input for turning on the power, the circuitry controls the image capturing device to operate in one of the three image-capturing modes corresponding to the pointing position of the mode switch that has been set when the power switch is turned off.
