The photographing device 100 includes at least one camera 110, at least one indication source 120, a processor 130, and a memory 140.

The camera 110 is configured to take a picture in front of the camera 110 to form an image. In this embodiment, the number of the cameras 110 is plural, and the shooting range of each camera 110 is different, so that the shooting device 100 can cover a 360-degree or 720-degree field of view (FOV). That is, the photographing device 100 is a panoramic camera at this time. The image captured by the camera 110 is stored in the memory 140. In this way, the picture of the actor's performance can be recorded in real time, which is helpful to find the cause when an accident occurs during the shooting.

The instruction source 120 is disposed on the camera 110. In this embodiment, each of the cameras 110 is configured with one of the indication sources 120. The indication source 120 may be a laser light source for emitting a laser 122 and an indication mark 124. The indication mark 124 may be a laser pattern or a laser grid. Each of the indication sources 120 is movably disposed on a corresponding camera 110 and can be rotated around the camera 110, so as to adjust the directions of the laser 122 and the indication mark 124 emitted by the indication source 120. Specifically, the instruction source 120 is movably disposed on the camera 110 by a clamping device (not shown), so that the instruction source 120 can be rotated back and forth in different directions on the corresponding camera 110.

The photographing device 100 can communicate with a control terminal 200 (such as a remote control, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.). The processor 130 receives a remote control signal sent by the control terminal 200 and controls the remote control signal according to the remote control signal. The instruction source 120 performs a corresponding operation. The control terminal 200 includes a plurality of control keys for controlling the instruction source 120 to perform different operations. The control key includes a start key (not shown) and an adjustment key (not shown).

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, during operation, the start key of the control terminal 200 is pressed, so that the control terminal 200 generates a start instruction and sends the start instruction to the photographing device 100. Each of the indication sources 120 is configured to respond to the start instruction, and emit laser light to the surrounding environment of the corresponding camera 110 to scan the surrounding environment, and at the same time rotate relative to the camera 110 to change the direction of the laser. The camera 110 is used to respond to the start instruction and immediately shoot scenes within its field of view to form a picture. The processor 130 is configured to identify whether there is a laser emitted by the instruction source 120 in the picture. When the laser emitted by the indication source 120 exists in the screen, it indicates that the laser can be captured by the camera 110 at this time, that is, the direction in which the laser is currently emitted is in the shooting of the camera 110 range. When the laser emitted by the indication source 120 does not exist in the picture, it indicates that the laser cannot be captured by the camera 110 at this time, and the direction in which these lasers are currently emitted is in the blind zone of the camera 110, Therefore, the processor 130 controls the indication source 120 to emit the indication mark 124 along the direction currently emitted by the laser, which is used to indicate the blind area of the photographing device 100 to remind the subject to prevent it from entering the area. The dead zone.

In this embodiment, after the instruction source 120 transmits the instruction mark 124, the processor 130 is further configured to identify whether the instruction mark 124 exists in the screen to confirm whether the instruction mark 124 is correct. The blind spot locations are marked. If the indication mark 124 does not appear in any picture taken by the camera 110, it indicates that the indication mark 124 correctly marks the position of the blind zone. At this time, the position of the indication mark 124 need not be adjusted; The indication mark 124 appears in any picture taken by the camera 110, indicating that the indication mark 124 does not mark the blind spot position correctly. At this time, the user can press the adjustment key, so that the control terminal 200 generates an adjustment Instruct and send the adjustment instruction to the photographing device 100. The processor 130 is configured to respond to the adjustment instruction and adjust the position of the indication mark 124 until the indication mark 124 does not appear in any picture captured by the camera 110.

The control terminal 200 may control the laser 122 to be turned on or off during the shooting process. The control terminal 200 may also control the rotation of the laser 122 in a direction so that the laser light spot forms laser rays.

Further, the indication source 120 may be a scattering laser pen. The laser pen can form a clearly visible laser in a range of at least 100 meters.

Further, the control terminal 200 may be further configured to adjust the size of the laser light spot emitted by the instruction source 120 according to the surrounding environment. If the surrounding environment is very bright, you can reduce the light spot to focus, but if the surrounding environment is very dark, you can increase the light spot to make the line larger, so that it is easier for the actors to observe.

Further, the indication source 120 can represent the countdown instruction by the frequency of laser flashing. For example, three flashes represent 3, two flashes represent 2, one flash represents 1, and a quick flash represents 0. During the countdown, the number of laser flashes may also be issued in accordance with a speaker response set in the photographing device 100. Of course, the shooting device 100 may only issue a countdown instruction from the audio device.

When the photographing device 100 enables the zoom in or zoom out function of the camera 110, the processor 130 may control the indication source 120 to adjust the laser irradiation according to the zoom or zoom state of the camera 110 Position to reposition the blind spot.
