Digital camera
View Patent ↗There are provided a framing assisting means for displaying as a moving picture object data as well as a profile of an area that is synthesized with a foreground of selected background data on an LCD 26 in a first magnification, a recording means for storing the object data selected by a shutter instruction in a nonvolatile memory to correlate with the selected background data, and a playing means for displaying as a still picture the object data stored in the nonvolatile memory and the background data correlated with the object data on the LCD 26 by applying a magnification varying process that is used to display the object data on the LCD 26 in a magnification smaller than the first magnification.
1. A digital camera comprising:
an image processing module which forms object data representing an object image based on an output of an image sensor;
a setting module which sets background data that is synthesized with the object data;
a framing assisting module which displays as a moving picture the object data and a profile of an area that is synthesized with the background data set by the setting module on a display in a first magnification;
a recording module which stores the object data selected by a shutter instruction in a nonvolatile memory to correlate with the background data set by the setting module; and
a playing module which displays a still picture obtained by synthesizing the object data stored in the nonvolatile memory and the background data correlated with the object data on one screen of the display by applying a magnification varying process and a rotating process,
wherein,
the magnification varying process is applied to the object data in a magnification smaller than the first magnification,
the framing assisting module displays the object data and the profile of the area that is synthesized with the background data on the display without displaying the background data on the display, and
the framing assisting module displays, on the display, a first area corresponding to a first part of the background data with which the object data is overlapped without displaying, on the display, a second area corresponding to a second part of the background data with which the object data is not overlapped.
2. The digital camera according to claim 1 , wherein the magnification varying process is a programmed process.
3. The digital camera according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating process is applied to the object data and the background data before the object data and the background data are synthesized.
4. The digital camera according to claim 1 , wherein the framing assisting module displays the entirety of the object data on the display.
5. The digital camera according to claim 4 , wherein the framing assisting module displays a line along the profile of the area on the display.
6. The digital camera according to claim 5 , wherein the line is overlapped with the object data.
7. The digital camera according to claim 5 , wherein the line is a colored line.
