Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling an operation mode of a media device, and a recording medium for storing a program source of the method are provided. The method includes acquiring detection information according to a grasp of a user by at least one detector located on at least one side of the media device, determining whether the acquired detection information satisfies a set image capturing mode switching condition for switching to the image capturing mode, and switching to the image capturing mode when a result of the determination indicates that the acquired detection information satisfies the image capturing mode switching condition. Therefore, it is possible to simply and easily switch between operation modes by recognizing the grasp of a user.
