1. An imaging device comprising:
a plurality of operation units provided on a plurality of surfaces of a device main body, respectively, and capable of being assigned functions;
a memory that stores assignment information indicating a relationship between a use environment and assignment of the functions to the plurality of operation units;
a motion detection sensor that detects motion of the imaging device; and
a processor configured to perform:
use environment determination processing of determining the use environment of the imaging device; and
assignment setting processing of setting the assignment of the functions to the plurality of operation units based on the assignment information of the memory, according to a result of the use environment determination processing,
wherein the use environment determination processing is performed according to a detection result of the motion detection sensor,
at least one of the operation units is provided on a side surface of the device main body in a case where a surface of the device main body facing an imaging direction is set as a front surface, and
the assignment information stored in the memory defines that a function of adjusting an image quality or an imaging condition is assigned to the at least one of the operation units provided on the side surface in a case where the detection result of the motion detection sensor is a threshold value or less;
wherein at least two of the operation units are provided on an upper surface and a side surface of the device main body in a case where a surface of the device main body facing an imaging direction is set as a front surface, and
the assignment information stored in the memory defines that a function set to one of the at least two operation units provided on the upper surface is transferred to another of the at least two operation units provided on the side surface in a case where the orientation detection sensor detects a vertical shooting orientation of the imaging device.
