Abstract
In an electronic device, a memory temporarily holds image data output from an image sensor during a first operation instruction instructing preparation for shooting is output, and an acquisition unit repeatedly acquires determination information used for estimating a level of possibility that a second operation instruction for instructing recording of a shot image will be output. A controller controls image shooting and to hold image data in the memory by a first control if the level is a first level, and by a second control that can reduce power consumption if the level is a second level which is lower than the first level. When the second operation instruction is output, the image data of an image shot in response to the second operation instruction and the latest image data held in the memory are recorded on a recording medium.
