Digital photographing apparatus for displaying panoramic images and methods of controlling the same
Digital photographing apparatus for displaying panoramic images and methods of controlling the digital photographing apparatus are disclosed. A digital photographing apparatus is provided that includes a digital signal processor to enlarge and display a panoramic image based on a target spot set in the panoramic image. Thus, a horizontal or vertical panoramic image may be more easily identified. In addition, a desired portion of the panoramic image may be set, and the panoramic image may be enlarged based on the desired portion, thereby improving satisfaction of a user.
1. A digital photographing apparatus comprising:
a digital signal processor configured to:
enlarge a panoramic image based on a first target spot set in the panoramic image;
display the enlarged image;
receive a target spot change signal indicating a change from the first target spot to a second target spot while the enlarged image is displayed, wherein the second target spot is different from the first target spot;
further enlarge the enlarged image based on the target spot change signal; and
display the further enlarged image at the second target spot.
2. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digital signal processor is configured to enlarge the image in stages by as much as a size of a display unit displaying the image.
3. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digital signal processor is configured to receive a touch signal, and to set the first target spot according to the touch signal.
4. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the digital signal processor is configured to enlarge the image in stages by as many as a number of touchings of the first target spot.
5. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digital signal processor is configured to receive a signal corresponding to a predetermined button, and to set the first target spot according to the signal.
6. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digital signal processor is configured to receive a manipulation signal while the image is enlarged, and to adjust an enlarging speed according to the manipulation signal.
7. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digital signal processor comprises:
a setting unit configured to set a target spot in the image; and
an enlarging unit configured to enlarge the image based on the target spot.
8. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a changing unit configured to generate a target spot change signal while the image is enlarged, and to output the target spot change signal to the enlarging unit.
9. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a speed adjusting unit configured to adjust an enlarging speed.
10. The digital photographing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the digital signal processor is further configured to display the entire panoramic image after the panoramic image is completely enlarged.
11. A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of a first target spot in a panoramic image;
enlarging, using a processor, the panoramic image based on the target spot;
displaying the enlarged image;
receiving a target spot change signal indicating a change from the first target spot to a second target spot while the enlarged image is displayed, and further enlarging the enlarged image based on the target spot change signal, wherein the second target spot is different from the first target spot; and
displaying the further enlarged image at the second target spot.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving a manipulation signal while the image is enlarged; and
adjusting an enlarging speed of the panoramic image according to the manipulation signal.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising enlarging the image in stages by as much as a size of a display unit for displaying the image.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising
receiving a touch signal; and
setting the first target spot according to the touch signal.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising enlarging the image in stages by as many as a number of touches of the first target spot.
16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving a signal corresponding to a predetermined button; and
setting the first target spot according to the signal.
17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising displaying the entire panoramic image after the panoramic image is completely enlarged.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least carry out the method of claim 11 .
