The below effect of explanation present embodiment.
For example, sometimes will be shown in Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B, Fig. 2 C like that, the scene that repeats similar action is photographed, such scene of will expressing one's feelings to the baby of various variations taking place along with the time and can see good expression is just sometimes photographed.In this case, the user takes identical photo sometimes, forgets the abundant photo of variation of taking other.
For example, although taken the photo shown in Fig. 2 A, if also taken and the roughly the same photo of photo shown in Fig. 2 A next time, then the capacity of recording portion 9 has been used much at once, consumes the battery of camera redundantly.Relative therewith, if the user can remember to have taken the photo of Fig. 2 A, the possibility of then taking the such photo of Fig. 2 B will reduce.But, in the situation of being absorbed in photography etc. down, note sometimes having taken identical photo less than the past.
Therefore, in this execution mode, make the user when photography, to identify over and taken the such photo of Fig. 2 A.Thus, urge the user to take the such composition of Fig. 2 C photo different with Fig. 2 A, rather than the similar photo of the such composition of Fig. 2 B, and can allow the user confirm to want to take with which type of composition next time.
During this situation, for example shown in Figure 3, show that in display part 10 subject observes image (the being monitoring picture) 10a of usefulness, explicit user was last time taken simultaneously is recorded in the image 10c in the recording portion 9 of being recorded in of image (hereinafter referred to as the reference image) 10b in the recording portion 9 and shooting last time.The user is monitoring picture 10a and simultaneously photograph with reference to image 10b, 10c relatively simultaneously, thus the shooting that can not take place to narrate previously the failure scenarios of the similar photo of many compositions.
Herein, in order to carry out demonstration shown in Figure 3, for example, display part 10 can and be used to show that these two display parts of display part with reference to image constitute by the bigger display part of the picture that is used to show monitoring picture.Perhaps, also can constitute display part 10 by a display part, the image demonstration is carried out in the usual whole viewing area of display part 10 of using, when carrying out demonstration shown in Figure 3, the viewing area of display part 10 is divided into the monitoring picture viewing area and with reference to these two of image display area, at monitoring picture viewing area demonstration monitoring picture, show with reference to image in the reference image display area.And, in this Fig. 3, shown these two images of 10b, 10c as the reference image.But, be not limited thereto, can be one with reference to image also can be more than three.
In addition, opposite with above-mentioned example, though the user has taken the such photo of Fig. 2 A in the past sometimes, also want to take composition and the roughly the same such photo of Fig. 2 B of this Fig. 2 A.For example, the posture of subject is good in the photo of taking before, but subject is closed one's eyes or the situation such as relatively poor of expressing one's feelings under, the user wants to take the good photo of expression with original posture.
At this requirement, make display part 10 show image shown in Figure 4.In Fig. 4, be the image that the user wants reference with reference to image 10c, monitoring picture 10a identically with above-mentioned Fig. 3 observes the image that the image after this taken is used for the user.The user simultaneously compares these monitoring pictures 10a and with reference to image 10c, one side is photographed, and can take and the photo of wanting the image same patterned of reference.
, in Fig. 4, only show one herein, but also can show plural as Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 5 with reference to image with reference to image.
The example of Fig. 5 is carried out the demonstration of Fig. 3 and the demonstration of Fig. 4 simultaneously.That is, in Fig. 5, image 10a is the monitoring picture of using for the image that after this user's observation takes, and image 10b is the image of last time taking, and image 10c is the image that the user wants reference.By carrying out this demonstration, can utilize a display part to be implemented in function illustrated in fig. 3 and in function illustrated in fig. 4.
By on display part 10, carrying out the demonstration of above explanation, as shown in Figure 6, user 14 can side by side compare reference to the monitoring picture of demonstration on the display part of being located on the camera 15 10 with reference to image on one side, Yi Bian take subject 13, can take the photo of oneself imagining.
Fig. 7 comprises that above-mentioned demonstration is controlled at the flow chart of the master control of cameras interior, an embodiment of the invention.This flow processing shown in Figure 7 is that program among the ROM 3 is carried out by MPU 1 according to being recorded in recording medium.In the flow chart of Fig. 7, MPU 1 carries out various controls according to the state of the various switches that the operation of operating portion 2 switched according to the user.Herein, the technology of switching the function that operating portion 2 is set according to the graphic user interface that is shown in display part 10 (GUI) is widely known by the people, and this technology is also applicable to this camera.During this situation, can reduce the quantity that is located at the functional unit on this camera as operating portion 2.
In Fig. 7, whether the set condition of the pattern that MPU 1 inspection is set by the operation input etc. changes (step S0).And, judge whether the pattern of this camera is the reproduction mode (step S1) that is used for reproducing the image that is recorded in recording portion 9.When being not reproduction mode in the judgement of step S1, then being considered as is to carry out the photograph mode that image photography is used, and makes step S1 be branched off into step S7.
On the other hand, when in the judgement of step S1, being reproduction mode, make step S1 be branched off into step S2.And MPU 1 sends indication to image processing circuit 7, the image (step S2) that writes down when showing former pick-up in the image that is recorded in the recording portion 9 at display part 10.Under this state, carried out the user under the situation of selection operation of regulation, MPU 1 sends indication to image processing circuit 7, so that image processing circuit 7 is selected the image corresponding with this selection operation from recording portion 9, and is shown in display part 10 (step S3).The selection of this moment, can for example carry out under the situation of predetermined operation the user, carrying out in a picture, having arranged a plurality of guide looks demonstrations that are called as the little image of thumbnail image on the display part 10, and can from recording portion 9, select to have a guide look of the corresponding image of selecteed thumbnail image in the demonstration, be shown in display part 10 with this.Perhaps, can also show the front of the current image that on display part 10, shows or the image of back when the user has carried out the operation of selector button.
When the selection operation of step S3 was accepted in wait, MPU 1 judged whether the pattern of this camera switches to photograph mode (step S4) from reproduction mode.In the judgement of step S4, be judged to be when not switching to photograph mode, make step S4 return step S3.
On the other hand, be judged to be when switching to photograph mode in the judgement of step S4, make step S4 be branched off into step S5, MPU 1 judges the selection operation (step S5) that whether has carried out image at step S3.When being judged to be the selection of having carried out image in the judgement of step S5, make step S5 be branched off into step S6, MPU 1 is stored in (step S6) among the RAM 8 with the image selected as the candidate image of reference image.Change step S7 then over to.On the other hand, when in the judgement of step S5, being judged to be the selection of not carrying out image, not storing the image among the RAM 8, and change step S7 over to.
When being judged to be photograph mode in the judgement of step S1, perhaps after step S5 or step S6, MPU 1 judges that the operating and setting that passes through the user whether becomes on display part 10 to show with reference to image (step S7).This setting is carried out the operation of operating portion 2 by the user.On this meaning, functional unit 2 can be called the demonstration switching part.In the judgement of step S7, be judged to be when not showing with reference to image, make step S7 be branched off into step S8, MPU 1 sends indication to image processing circuit 7, to show the monitoring picture (step S8) based on the picture of the subject of obtaining at imaging apparatus 5 by phtographic lens 4 before the photography 13 on the whole image of display part 10.By the processing of this step S8, the user can observe subject 13 under big picture.After the processing of step S8, MPU 1 removes the candidate image (step S9) that is stored among the RAM 8.
Then, MPU 1 judges whether the user has carried out the shutter release operation (step S10) of photography indication usefulness.In the judgement of step S10, be judged to be under the situation of carrying out shutter release operation, make step S10 be branched off into step S11 and the following processing of step S11, carry out common camera shooting step.That is, MPU 1 uses the exposure (step S12) of control imaging apparatuss 5 such as shutter (not shown) after the focusing adjustment of having carried out phtographic lens 4 by not shown autofocus mechanism (step S11).The view data that obtains is controlled in exposure by step S12, carries out image processing (step S13) such as color correction process and compression processing in image processing circuit 7, is recorded in then (step S14) in the recording portion 9.In addition, be associated with the view data of this record, record is by position detection part 11 detected positions with by the 12 detected moment on photography dates (step S15) of clock and watch portion in recording portion 9.Then, judge whether change power-off state (step S23) over to, do not changing under the situation of off-state, when for example under the input holding state, not passing through the stipulated time or not carrying out the power supply opening operation, return step S1.
On the other hand, in the judgement of step S10, be judged to be when not carrying out shutter release operation, make step S10 be branched off into step S16, judge operation such as the fast browsing of whether having carried out pressing the fast browsing button (step S16).In the judgement of step S16, be judged to be when not carrying out the fast browsing operation, make step S16 return step S1.On the other hand, in the judgement of step S16, be judged to be when having carried out the fast browsing operation, make step S16 be branched off into step S17, send indication to image processing circuit 7, be recorded in the image in the recording portion 9 when making it from recording portion 9, select former pick-up, and be presented on the whole image of display part 10 (step S17).When carrying out the action of this fast browsing, can switch and reproduce the image that is shown on the display part 10 by the operation of user to selector button etc.By this fast browsing action, the user also can check captured image under non-reproduction mode.After step S17, MPU 1 is stored in (step S18) among the RAM 8 with the image of the current selection of user as the candidate image of reference image.Then, step S1 is returned in processing.
And, when in the judgement of step S7, being judged to be demonstration with reference to image, make step S7 be branched off into step S19, MPU 1 at first sends indication to image processing circuit 7, so that show monitoring picture (step S19) on the established part of the display part 10 that the reference marks 10a in utilizing Fig. 5 represents.Then, MPU 1 sends indication to image processing circuit 7, is recorded in image in the recording portion 9 with former pick-up the time as the reference image, is presented on the established part that utilizes the display part 10 that the reference marks 10b among Fig. 5 represents (step S20).
Then, MPU 1 judges among the RAM 8 whether store candidate image (step S21).In the judgement of step S21, be judged to be when storing candidate image, make step S21 be branched off into step S22, send indication to image processing circuit 7, with candidate image as the reference image, be presented on the established part that utilizes the display part 10 that the reference marks 10c among Fig. 5 represents (step S22).Then, change above-mentioned steps S10 over to.On the other hand, in the judgement of step S21, be judged to be when in RAM 8, not storing candidate image, do not carry out the processing of step S22, and change step S10 over to.
By carrying out the processing of above explanation, the user can contrast in a plurality of pictures of liking and watch image and the selected image of last time taking of wanting as a reference, check the composition etc. of the image in next time photography taken on one side.
, be shown in the image of display part 10 as the reference image by the processing of the step S20 among Fig. 7 herein, when having carried out the photography indication, be updated at every turn.Like this, can help the user can after Fig. 2 A, also then not take the image of Fig. 2 B by the image of last time taking by on display part 10, showing.Thus, can not take identical photo, and the capacity of waste energy and recording portion 9.
On the contrary, the image of selecting according to the indication different with photography indication, for example the image selected under reproduction mode of user or the image of selecting by the fast browsing operation are selected as candidate image, and this image is shown in the processing of the step S22 of Fig. 7.Thus, the user can take and the photo of oneself selecting of wanting the roughly the same composition of image as a reference next time once more.
In addition, in an above-mentioned execution mode, the shown image as image 10b is the image that is recorded in former pick-up in the recording portion 9, but the image before also can showing repeatedly.And, above-mentioned photography indication except with based on the relevant indication of the photography of carrying out shutter release operation, also can comprise with based on the relevant indication of the photography of the selection of photograph mode, the indication relevant with other concrete photographies, can also judge in step S10 that this photography indicates.
And the candidate image with reference to image that shows in the processing of step S22 is not limited to the image that the user selects under reproduction mode, and also the image that can select according to the rules condition automatically by camera is as candidate image.For example, use by position detection part 11 detected positional informations, in recording portion 9, record with before during identical place captured image, also can be of the candidate image of this image as the reference image.And, use by clock and watch portion 12 detected photography date time informations, in recording portion 9, record in phase same time during captured image, also can be of the candidate image of this image as the reference image.In addition, when document image, can also be the information of reference image, for example filename is recorded in the recording portion 9 as satellite information.Like this, the user can confirm in the past with reference to which image afterwards.
Fig. 8 is selection that candidate image is carried out in the expression flow chart when handling.Carry out this processing with the step S21 in the alternate figures 7.
