View Patent ↗An imaging device includes a moving image special effect image processing unit that performs image processing of applying a first special effect causing a visual effect over a plurality of frames corresponding to image data of a moving image, and image processing of applying a second special effect corresponding to the first special effect to a still image captured during moving image capturing using image data of a moving image captured before the still image, and a control unit that controls an application form of the first and second special effects in the moving image special effect image processing unit.
1. An imaging device that captures a subject, generates image data of the subject, captures a moving image, and captures a still image during moving image capturing including directly after moving image capturing end, the device comprising:
a moving image special effect image processing unit that performs moving image special effect image processing of synthesizing captured image data with a plurality of image data captured before the image data at a predetermined ratio; and
a control unit that changes the number of image data synthesized by the moving image special effect image processing unit depending on whether the captured image data is a moving image or a still image,
wherein the earlier image data is captured in terms of time, the smaller the predetermined ratio is.
2. An imaging device that captures a subject, generates image data of the subject, captures a moving image, and captures a still image during moving image capturing including directly after moving image capturing end, the device comprising:
a moving image special effect image processing unit that performs moving image special effect image processing of synthesizing captured image data with a plurality of image data captured before the image data at a predetermined ratio; and
a control unit that changes the number of image data synthesized by the moving image special effect image processing unit depending on whether the captured image data is a moving image or a still image,

a setting signal input unit that receives an input of a setting signal used to set the ratio.
5. The imaging device according to claim 2 ,
wherein image processing performed by the moving image special effect image processing unit includes one-shot echo processing in which specific image data is sequentially synthesized with image data captured after the specific image data at a predetermined ratio, and a ratio of the specific image data decreases over time, and
when the most recent image data is image data of a still image, the resizing processing unit performs resizing processing on the image data.
6. The imaging device according to claim 5 , further comprising
a setting signal input unit that receives an input of a setting signal used to set the ratio.
7. An imaging device that captures a subject, generates image data of the subject, captures a moving image, and captures a still image during moving image capturing including directly after moving image capturing end, the device comprising:
a moving image special effect image processing unit that performs moving image special effect image processing of synthesizing captured image data with a plurality of image data captured before the image data at a predetermined ratio, wherein the image data is RAW data which has not been subjected to a compression coding process;
a control unit that changes the number of image data synthesized by the moving image special effect image processing unit depending on whether the captured image data is a moving image or a still image; and
a temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the RAW data,
wherein the moving image special effect image processing unit synthesizes a plurality of RAW data stored in the temporary storage unit, and
wherein an aspect ratio of a screen in still image capturing is equal to an aspect ratio of a screen in moving image capturing, and an image with the aspect ratio is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit at the time of moving image capturing.
