Appeal No. 2006-1020 Application No. 09/899,066 The invention is directed to a control method for a CCD camera comprising: controlling movement of a lens by switching between two sets of pre-stored lens trace data, each corresponding to one of two photographing modes selected on the basis of comparing a detected illumination value to a reference illumination value. Claims 1 and 21 are illustrative: 1. A control method of a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera having at least one photographing mode, comprising: pre-storing trace data of a lens for the CCD camera; detecting an illumination of a photographing region to be photographed with the CCD camera; comparing the detected illumination with a reference illumination value; setting a photographing mode of the CCD camera on the basis of comparing the detected illumination with a reference illumination value; and controlling a movement of a lens of the CCD camera in accordance with the set photographing mode by using corresponding pre-stored trace data of the lens. 21. A control method of a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera having a lens and a nighttime mode and a daytime mode, comprising: pre-storing first and second trace data of a lens for the CCD camera; detecting an illumination of a photographing region to be photographed by a CCD camera; 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
