Then, use Fig. 5 to come the input action of the update time of description of step #31.After entering this subprogram, at first, detect by near the ambient temperature (#41) the imaging apparatus 221 of temperature measuring circuit 231 mensuration.When obtaining ambient temperature, decide higher limit update time (#43) according to this ambient temperature.
As Fig. 8 schematically illustrates, in imaging apparatus 221, be arranged with photodiode (pixel) along two-dimensional directional.Grid representation pixel one by one in Fig. 8.More than half partial pixel of imaging apparatus 221 is an effective pixel area 311, and its right side is a level shadow pixel region 312, and its downside is vertical shading pixel region 313.Picture element signal according to the pixel output that is subordinated to effective pixel area 311 generates view data, according to the picture element signal generation dark current data of the pixel output that is subordinated to level shadow pixel region 312 and vertical shading pixel region 313.
This dark current has temperature dependency as shown in Figure 9, and when near the temperature the imaging apparatus 221 was high more, it is big that this dark current (integrated value) also becomes in time rapidly.The subject image from imaging apparatus 221 output having been carried out overlapping the picture element signal after the opto-electronic conversion dark current arranged, when the time for exposure, (time of integration) was elongated, can not ignore dark current.Therefore, suppose the dark current that in effective pixel area 311, has taken place from level shadow pixel region 312 and vertical shading pixel region 313 outputs, then remove in the circuit 227, carry out the correction of dark current by deducting the dark current data from view data based on picture element signal at dark current.
The dark current grade that more early reaches capacity when temperature is high more.When reaching capacity grade, dark current then can't correctly remove dark current.Therefore in the present embodiment, when manual shutter mode etc. carries out exposure actions for a long time, before dark current reaches capacity grade, read picture element signal from imaging apparatus 221.That is, consider dark current characteristic, limit the higher limit of update time according to the ambient temperature of measuring by temperature measuring circuit 231, so that dark current unsaturated (#43).Specifically, storage environment temperature and the table of upper limit time are shown to determine with reference to this in advance.
Then, in order to import update time, and whether operated the judgement (#45) of information setting knob 24.In result of determination is under the situation of not operation information setting knob 24, returns original program.On the other hand, under the situation of having operated information setting knob 24, switch testing circuit 283 detects its direction of rotation (#47).
Then, judge whether detected direction of rotation is the direction (#49) that reduces update time.In result of determination is to be under the situation of the direction of rotation that reduces update time, whether has reached lower limit (#51) update time of judging last time.Lower limit for example can be made as about 0.1 second as long as suitably set.For not reach under the situation of lower limit, shorten update time in order (#53) from current set condition in result of determination with the step of stipulating.
As shown in figure 10, be shown as update displayed 302 in the photographing information on the LCD monitor 26 overleaf update time.Whenever by information setting knob 24 when the direction that shortens update time has been carried out rotary manipulation, for example,, the direction step in accordance with regulations of its lower limit in Figure 11 (c) to (a) is reduced gradually if current set condition is initial value 30 seconds.This step can suitably determine according to behaviour in service.When shorten end update time, return original program.
For not being to reduce under the situation of direction, whether reached the higher limit (#55) that in step #43, determines in the result of determination of step #49 the update time of judging last time.For not reach under the situation of higher limit, step in accordance with regulations prolongs update time (#57) in result of determination.Whenever by information setting knob 24 when the direction that prolongs update time has been carried out rotary manipulation, increase gradually from the direction step in accordance with regulations of the higher limit of current state to Figure 11 (e).Only be an example at interval the update time of Figure 11 (a)~(e), can suitably change.
Then, use Fig. 6 to come the shooting among the description of step #37 to move.When the 1R switch connection, start this subprogram, at first, close the photographing information that is presented on the back side LCD monitor 26
(#61)。Then, the subprogram (#63) of excute phase difference AF control.In this subprogram, defocus direction and defocus amount by what known phase difference AF detected photographic optical system 101, and defocus the drive controlling that direction and defocus amount are carried out optical system driving mechanism 107 according to this, carry out the focusing of photographic optical system 101.
When phase difference AF finished, #9 was same with step, judged and whether had set manual shutter mode (#65).For not set under the situation of manual shutter mode, carry out photometry/exposure computing in result of determination, obtain exposure control values (#67) such as shutter speed and f-number.
On the other hand, be to have set under the situation of manual shutter mode in the result of determination of step #65, skips steps #67 enters step #69.This is because under the situation of manual shutter mode, and as mentioned above, the switching time of shutter 213 does not need photometry and exposure computing by cameraman's decision.
Then, judge whether supress shutter release button 21 entirely, be whether the 2R switch connects (#69).In result of determination is under the situation of 2R switch access failure, judges whether the 1R switch connects (#87).In result of determination is under the situation of 1R switch access failure, finishes to take action, returns original program.On the other hand, be under the situation of 1R switch connection in result of determination, return step #69, become the holding state of the state that alternately detects 1R switch and 2R switch.
When the result of determination of step #69 is the 2R switch connection, transfer to the step that is used to take.That at first, carries out moving reflector 201 keeps out of the way action (moving to lifting position) (#71).Thus, will be directed to the direction of imaging apparatus 221 based on the subject light beam of photographic optical system 101.Then, camera lens CPU111 indication aperture is dwindled action, the aperture of carrying out aperture 103 dwindles action (#73).
Thus, finished the preparation that enters common shooting action or manual shutter shooting action, so beginning exposure actions (#75).In exposure, make the preceding curtain of shutter 213 begin to move, and the electric charge savings of beginning imaging apparatus 221.When having passed through the shutter speed time corresponding of manually setting with the shutter speed of in step #67, obtaining or by the cameraman or by cameraman's indication, finishing control shutter in a helpless situation and take, moving of the back curtain of beginning shutter 213, and the electric charge savings of end imaging apparatus 221.
When this exposure actions, under the situation of having set manual shutter mode, press full shutter release button 21 during shutter 213 be open state, during this period, by imaging apparatus 221 by repeating to obtain view data update time at interval, upgrade image overleaf on the LCD monitor 26, show simultaneously based on this view data.Use Fig. 7 to be described in detail this exposure actions in the back.
When exposure actions finishes, to the open indication of camera lens CPU111 output aperture 103, open aperture 103 (#77).Then, make moving reflector 201 carry out homing action (#79), and carry out reading and be stored in temporarily the common data the SDRAM267 or the image processing (#81) of addition view data from imaging apparatus 221 to down position.With the Imagery Data Recording after the image processing (#83) in recording medium 277, and stop at the image demonstration (#85) that shows in the back side LCD monitor 26.When stopping the image demonstration, return original program.
Then, use Fig. 7 comes the exposure actions among the description of step #75.After entering this subprogram, at first, #9 is same with step, judges and whether has set manual shutter mode (#101).In result of determination for not set under the situation of manual shutter mode, common screening-modes such as executive program screening-mode.
As common screening-mode, at first, the timer (#103) that starting time for exposure timing is used makes imaging apparatus 221 begin shooting (#105) when aperture 213 is opened.That is, the shot object image of imaging on imaging apparatus 221 is carried out opto-electronic conversion, and begin to put aside signal charge.
After the shooting beginning, follow and judge whether passed through the time for exposure corresponding (when setting second) (#107) with the shutter speed that in step #67, calculates or manually set.When result of determination when having passed through the time for exposure, close shutter 213, and stop the shooting (#109) of imaging apparatus 221.
Then, from imaging apparatus 221, read picture signal (#111), this picture signal of reading is stored in (#113) among the SDRAM 267 temporarily.Picture signal according to this interim storage shows photographic images (#115) overleaf on the LCD monitor 26.
Result of determination at step #101 is to have set under the situation of manual shutter mode, at first, the data (#120) of the addition image memory region (not shown) that removing is prepared in interim storage part 293, the timer (#121) that update time, timing was used that starting shows, #105 is same with step, opens shutter 103 and begins shooting (#123).Then, judge whether the timer that update time, timing was used has passed through the update time (#125) that sets in step #120.
In result of determination for not pass through under the situation of update time, judge whether removed shutter release button 21 entirely by, be whether the 2R switch disconnects (#151).In 2R switch connection and update time as yet not under the situation of process, become the alternately holding state of determination step #125 and step #151.
When the result of determination of step #125 when having passed through update time, keeping stopping the shooting of imaging apparatus 221 under shutter 213 opened state, and reading picture signal (#127, #129).View data after the digitlization of this picture signal of reading is stored in temporarily the latest image storage area (#131) in the storage area of interim storage part 293.This storage is the interim view data of reading of preserving for the sum operation of carrying out afterwards.
Then, reset the timer that update time, timing was used (#133), make imaging apparatus 221 begin shooting (#135).Then, be stored in the addition view data in the past in the addition image memory region of interim storage part 293 by 294 pairs in sum operation portion and above-mentioned latest image data are carried out sum operation.This sum operation result stores in the addition image memory region of interim storage part 293 (#137) once more, and the addition image of this storage is shown to (#139) in the back side LCD monitor 26.When having shown the addition image, return step #125 and carry out above-mentioned step.
Thereby when the cameraman who sees the image that has shown be judged as grade that levels of exposure reached hope remove shutter release button 21 entirely on time, promptly when disconnecting the 2R switch, by the judgement among the step #151, enter step #153 from step #151, be transferred to the processing that is used to finish exposure actions.
That is, same with step #109, #111, #113, stop shooting when closing shutter 213, and carry out the interim storage (#153, #155, #157) of the reading of view data, view data.And #137~#139 is same with step, obtains the addition image by sum operation, shows after having stored this addition image (#159, #160, #161).When having shown the addition image, return original program.
Like this, when having passed through the update time of in step #31, setting (#125 → Y), stop the shooting in the imaging apparatus 221, read picture signal, carry out sum operation with the addition view data in the past of in the temporary storage area, storing, and as shown in figure 12, be shown in the back side LCD monitor 26.In the moment of having passed through update time at first, the time for exposure is short, so be whole dark image, still, whenever through update time the time, all view data is carried out addition, so become bright image gradually.The cameraman can judge whether the lightness wished for the cameraman by observing back side LCD monitor 26.
In the present embodiment, when having set manual shutter mode, in exposure actions, move by repeating shooting update time at interval, whenever carried out when action shooting just with image data storage in storage part 293 temporarily, and with addition the addition image of view data of this storage be shown in the back side LCD monitor 26.Can manually set this update time by configuration part 298, and can suitably change.Therefore, can carry out display update by effective timing according to reference object or cameraman's intention.
In addition, in the present embodiment, at limit setting value update time, to be no more than higher limit and lower limit.Therefore, can prevent to surpass the use of the performance of imaging apparatus 221.In addition, in the present embodiment, change the upper limit of update time according to dark current characteristic.Therefore, the correction with the corresponding view data of dark current can be carried out, the little image of noise can be made.
Then, adopt Figure 13 to Figure 15 that the 2nd execution mode of the present invention is described.In the 1st execution mode to having carried out manual setting update time, but in the 2nd execution mode according to subject brightness automatically change.In addition, in the time of long second, also show under the situation of photography by repeating shooting and image update time at interval.
The structure of the 2nd execution mode and Fig. 1 are identical to the structure of the 1st execution mode shown in Figure 3, only Fig. 4 are changed to the flow chart of Figure 13 to Figure 15 to flow chart shown in Figure 7, so be that the center describes with its difference.In addition, the configuration part among Fig. 3 298 is not to use the manual setting of information setting knob 24 but carries out automatic setting by host CPU 251 grades in the 2nd execution mode.
Figure 13 illustrates the power connection homing action of the host CPU 251 of camera body 200 sides.This flow chart is the flow process identical with Fig. 4 the subprogram of importing except the update time of omitting step #31 in the flow chart that power connection shown in Figure 4 resets, so mark same-sign in same step, omits detailed explanation.
In the 1st execution mode, carried out the subprogram of input update time of step #31 in order manually to set update time, but in the 2nd execution mode update time carry out automatic setting according to subject brightness etc., so omit this step #31.In addition, the flow chart of the Fig. 6 in the subprogram of the shooting of step #37 action and the 1st execution mode is identical.
Then, adopt Figure 14 that the exposure actions of the step #75 in the subprogram of the photography action of step #37 is described.When entering the subprogram of this exposure actions, whether at first, carrying out screening-mode is the judgement (#101) of manual shutter mode.In result of determination when being not manual shutter mode, the judgement (#102) of taking when whether being long second.The shutter speed of reading in step #7 is judged to be when being long second when for example surpassing 30 seconds and takes.
When taking when not being long second, result of determination takes usually.Because it is same to step #115 with the step #103 of Fig. 7 to take action usually, so, omit detailed explanation to the identical symbol of same step mark.
Result of determination in step #101 is set for example 0.5 second initial value as update time (#118) when having set manual shutter mode.Result of determination in step #102 when long second during photography, is set update time (#117) according to the shutter speed of setting for having set.The shutter speed that for example will set as the setting of update time here 1/100th as update time.
In step #117 or step #118, when having carried out the setting of update time, then eliminate the addition image memory region (#120) of interim storage part 293, make the timer starting (#121) that update time, timing was used, make imaging apparatus 221 begin shooting (#123).
Then, judge whether timing update time has been passed through the update time (#125) that sets with the timing of timer.In result of determination for not pass through under the situation of update time as yet, judge and whether to have indicated manual shutter to take to finish (that is, and in manual shutter mode, whether removed shutter release button 21 entirely by operation, whether the 2R switch disconnects) (#151).
Result of determination at step #151 is that the 2R switch still is under the situation about connecting, and judges when whether having passed through the second that has set under the shooting in the time of long second (#152).For as yet under the situation through when second of setting, return step #125 in result of determination.Like this, all as yet not through update time and set long second the time, the 2R switch keeps becoming the holding state of repetition determination step #125, #151, #152 under the situation of the state connected.
When the result of determination of step #125 when passing through update time, same to step #139 with the step #127 from Fig. 7, shutter 213 stays open, and the shooting of imaging apparatus 221 is stopped (#127), and carries out reading of picture element signal.
Then, will be stored in based on the view data of the picture element signal of reading in the interim storage part 293 (#131) temporarily, and make timer that update time, timing was used reset back (#133) and begin shooting (#135).Then, the addition (#137) of view data of temporarily storing and addition view data is in the past stored this addition image into that back (#138) shows (#139) in the addition image memory region of interim storage part 293 once more.
Like this, in step #125, whenever being judged to be when having passed through update time, same with the situation of the 1st execution mode, from imaging apparatus 221, read picture element signal, and will store into successively in the storage area of interim storage part 293 based on the view data of this picture element signal, generate and show whole addition images.
When having carried out the demonstration of addition image, then same with step #102, the judgement (#141) of taking when whether being long second.In result of determination is to return step #125 under the situation of taking when being long second, and carries out above-mentioned action.On the other hand, not being under the situation of taking when growing second, having set under the situation of manual shutter mode, carry out reset (#143) of update time.
Be set initial value the update time when having set manual shutter mode in step #118, but in step #143, carry out the automatic adjustment of update time, so that under the bright situation of subject brightness, shorten update time, under dark situation, prolong update time for this update time.Adopt Figure 15 that the subprogram that resets this update time is narrated in the back.When having carried out the resetting of update time, return step #125.
Result of determination in step #151 is that the indication or the result of determination among the step #152 that have manual shutter to take to finish are set second constantly for having passed through, and is used to finish the processing of exposure actions to the step #161 at step #153.These steps are identical with Fig. 7, so to identical step mark prosign, omit detailed explanation.
Then, adopt Figure 15 that the subprogram that resets update time of step #143 is described.When the subprogram that enters this update time and reset, carry out the judgement (#181) of brightness degree.The mean flow rate of the view data that employing is read in step #129 is as brightness degree.Generally speaking, if the lightness of each pixel of view data has 8 resolution, then the brightness degree of each pixel is any one in 0~255.So-called mean flow rate is this brightness degree value average of each pixel.In addition, except mean flow rate, can also suitably adopt other photometry computing such as central emphasis brightness.
Then, adopt the brightness degree of obtaining to become the correct exposure prediction (#183) of time for exposure before.Here, to be assumed to brightness degree average of each pixel for example be about 140 situation in correct exposure.Therefore, if known the time of current mean flow rate grade and this mean flow rate grade of arrival, then measurable time before becoming correct exposure.When obtaining predicted time, then carry out the computing (#185) of update time.
For example carry out equally predicted time divided by 100 computing as this computing with step #117.Change update time (#187) according to the time of obtaining at this, and return original program.When returning the flow process of exposure actions shown in Figure 14, in step #125, use judge the update time reset, and make a video recording and show by this time interval.
Like this, in the 2nd execution mode of the present invention, when manual shutter mode, automatically reset update time according to subject brightness.Therefore, can carry out display update by effective timing according to subject brightness.Automatically set update time when in the time of long second, taking in addition, during according to second of setting.Therefore, can during second, carry out display update according to setting by effective timing.
In addition, be illustration the update time of setting in step #117 or #120, can suitably change.In addition, whether in step #102 is in the judgement of length shooting during second, and the decision content when whether being long second also can suitably change.In addition, the setting of the update time among the step #117 is set update time except utilizing division arithmetic merely, can also adopt in the time of for example will growing second to be divided into the zone, to decide various methods such as setting-up time according to each zone.
As described above such, in each execution mode of the present invention, under the situation of with manual shutter mode or long-time second the time, taking, make image pickup part 291 by the update time of repetitive operation at interval, the view data addition successively that will repeat to export from image pickup part 291, generate the addition view data, and carry out the image demonstration according to this addition view data.And set in manual or automatic mode update time.Therefore, can carry out display update by effective timing, the cameraman can confirm under manual shutter mode or the situation that long second, shooting at present made progress.
In addition, in each execution mode of the present invention, when being through with exposure actions, in step #155 (Fig. 7, Figure 14), read image, the addition image (#161) of demonstration after with this image addition., can certainly in step #155, not carry out being presented at the final addition image of obtaining among the step #137 under the situation that image reads.
And then, in the present embodiment, when having set manual shutter mode, press full shutter release button 21 till removing this and pressing entirely, be the 2R switch connection during, shutter is open, and has carried out the shooting action.But, except this way, can also adopt following method, for example when pressing shutter release button 21 (the 1st releasing operation) entirely, begin the shooting action, also proceed the shooting action even removed pressing entirely of shutter release button 21, when pressing shutter release button 21 (the 2nd releasing operation that carries out behind the 1st releasing operation) once more entirely, stop the shooting action.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the example of using single transoid digital camera has been described, but, the present invention also can be the pocket digital camera beyond single transoid etc., in addition, the camera that is built in mobile phone, the portable information terminal (PDA:Personal Digital Assist) etc. is also passable.So long as can carry out the camera head of manual shutter mode and length shooting during second, just can use the present invention.
