Digital image processing apparatus and method of controlling the digital image processing apparatus

1. A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving an input image;

detecting a moving object in the input image;

measuring an amount of movement of the moving object; and

establishing a shutter time for a capturing operation according to the amount of movement of the moving object and according to at least one of: an established file size of an image to be captured or an established image size of the image to be captured

wherein the amount of movement is measured as a measurement moving pixel number corresponding to the number of pixels by which the moving object moves between the two or more input images,

wherein the shutter time is established according to an equation “shutter time=(allowable moving pixel number/measurement moving pixel number)×measured gap×compensation coefficient,” wherein the measured gap is the time between capturing input images, the allowable moving pixel is a number of pixels that the moving object may move during the shutter time, and wherein compensation coefficient is a constant based on the image size of the image to be captured.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the moving object is detected by sequentially receiving two or more input images and comparing the two or more input images.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shutter time is established to be inversely proportional to the measurement moving pixel number.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shutter time is established to be inversely proportional to at least one of: the file size of the image to be captured or the image size of the image to be captured.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the file size or the image size is defined as a recording pixel number of a captured and stored image.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received input image has a size suitable for displaying a live view.

7. A method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

establishing a shutter time for a capturing operation according to the amount of movement of the moving object and according to at least one of: an established file size of an image to be captured or an established image size of the image to be captured,

wherein the moving object is detected by sequentially receiving two or more input images and comparing the two or more input images,

wherein the amount of movement is measured as a measurement moving pixel number corresponding to the number of pixels by which the moving object moves between the two or more input images,

wherein the received input image has a size suitable for displaying a live view,

wherein the shutter time is established according to an equation “shutter time=(allowable moving pixel number/measurement moving pixel number)×measured gap×compensation coefficient,” wherein the measured gap is the time between capturing input images, the allowable moving pixel is a number of pixels that the moving object may move during the shutter time, and wherein compensation coefficient is a constant based on the image size of the image to be captured.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the file size or the image size is defined as a recording pixel number of a captured and stored image, and the compensation coefficient is established to be inversely proportional to the recording pixel number.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: establishing sensitivity to be inversely proportional to the shutter time.

10. A digital image processing apparatus comprising:

an image input unit receiving an input image;

a control unit detecting a moving object from the input image, measuring an amount of movement of the moving object, and establishing a shutter time during a capturing operation according to the amount of movement of the moving object and an established file size of a captured image or an established image size of the captured image; and

a shutter operating unit operating during the shutter time when a capturing operation is performed,

wherein the amount of movement is measured as a measurement moving pixel number corresponding to a pixel number by which the moving object moves in the input image, and

wherein the shutter time is established according to an equation “shutter time=(allowable moving pixel number/measurement moving pixel number)×measured gap×compensation coefficient,” wherein the measured gap is the time between capturing input images, the allowable moving pixel is a number of pixels that the moving object may move during the shutter time, and wherein compensation coefficient is a constant based on the image size of the image to be captured.
