Abstract

A camera includes a CPU. In a case that a continuously photographing mode is set by a mode key, the CPU, in response to a full-depression of a shutter button, performs photographing without flashing a strobe light and a strobe light-emitting photographing in this order or in a reverse order, and each of image files is recorded into a memory card, for example.

Claims (9)

1. An electronic camera, comprising:

an imaging device having an imaging surface onto which an optical image of an object scene is irradiated;

an exposing controller for subjecting said imaging surface to a plurality of exposure processes in response to a first operation of a shutter button;

a driver for flashing a strobe light corresponding to the last exposure process out of said plurality of exposure processes carried out by said exposing controller; and

a recorder for recording to a record medium a plurality of object scene images respectively generated by said plurality of exposure processes carried out by said exposing controller on said imaging surface.

2. A processing method of an electronic camera having an imaging surface onto which an optical image of an object scene is irradiated, comprising the steps of:

(a) subjecting said imaging surface to a plurality of exposure processes in response to a first operation of a shutter button;

(b) flashing a strobe light corresponding to the last exposure process out of said plurality of exposure processes carried out by said step (a); and

(c) recording to a record medium a plurality of object scene images respectively generated by said plurality of exposure processes carried out by said step (a) on said imaging surface.
