Abstract

A photographing device according to the present invention comprises: an imaging section that captures a subject image and outputs image data; a motion picture recording section that records a motion picture based on the image data; a parameter setting section that sets a photographing parameter to change a photographing state; and a parameter control section that automatically changes the photographing parameter during the recording of the motion picture regardless of the set photographing parameter.

Claims (40)

1. Apparatus comprising:

an image processing section that (1) receives image data corresponding to a subject image, and (2) connects still image data and motion picture data included in the received image data for continuously playing back a still image and a motion picture; and

a recording section that records the connected still image data and the connected motion picture data as one image file, wherein the motion picture data is attached to the still image data as an auxiliary image within the one image file.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the motion picture data comprises image data of images with a transition effect.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the motion picture data comprises image data of image trimmed from the subject image.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the motion picture data comprises image data of images selected from the subject image.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an imaging section that captured the subject image; and

a display section that displays the motion picture based on the motion picture data in a representation different from a time transition of continuously shot images, from which the motion picture data was obtained, captured by the imaging section.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the motion picture data includes continuously shot images.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a display section for continuously playing back both the still image data and the motion picture data stored in the one image file.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an imaging section that captures the subject image and outputs the image data responsive to a single release button operation.

9. Apparatus comprising:

an image processing section that (1) receives image data corresponding to a subject image, and (2) generates connection data connecting still image data and motion picture data included in the received image data for continuously playing back a still image and a motion picture; and

a recording section that records the still image data, the motion picture data and the connection data.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the motion picture data comprises image data of images with a transition effect.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the motion picture data comprises image data of image trimmed from the subject image.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the motion picture data comprises image data of images selected from the subject image.

13. The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein

the image processing section generates the connection data in accordance with the transition effect.

14. The apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising:

an imaging section that captured the subject image; and

a display section that displays the motion picture based on the motion picture data in a representation different from a time transition of continuously shot images, from which the motion picture data was obtained, captured by the imaging section.

15. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the motion picture data includes continuously shot images.

16. The apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a display section for continuously playing back, using the connection data, both the still image data and the motion picture data stored in the recording section.

17. The apparatus according to claim 9 , further comprising:

an imaging section that captures the subject image and outputs the image data responsive to a single release button operation.

18. A method comprising:

receiving image data corresponding to a subject image;

connecting still image data and motion picture data included in the received image data; and

recording, on a non-transitory storage medium, the connected still image data and the connected motion picture data as one image file, wherein the motion picture data is attached to the still image data as an auxiliary image within the one image file.
