Figure 11 illustrates 9 examples.At first, the 1st example is that subject is the situation of " setting sun ".As the feature of subject, if possess " color (red colour system) and brightness and differ widely on every side.Be low contrast on every side.Be shaped as circle, apart from infinity, photography time on date at dusk " the major part of condition, then be " setting sun " by the kind that the subject detection 11c of portion detects subject.Then, when the kind that detects subject is the setting sun, set the photography scene of " sunset clouds " by scene configuration part 11b.Then, as with photography scene " sunset clouds " corresponding photography conditions, by photography conditions configuration part 11a set " in image processing part, emphasize picture whole be red, yellow.Automatically focusing.Brightness reduces a little " etc.
The 2nd example is that subject is the situation on " mountain ".As the feature of subject, if satisfy the major part of the condition of " focus infinity, contrast are low, color is dark brown system or green system, shape illustrate the feature on mountain ", then the kind that detects subject by the subject detection 11c of portion is " mountain ".Thus, set the photography scene of " landscape far away " by scene configuration part 11b.Then, set the photography conditions of " blue or green beautiful processing, the brightness around focusing, the mountain is bright a little automatically " etc. by photography conditions configuration part 11a.After the 3rd example, in the content of following picture, describe at any time, still, set photography conditions according to the logic identical with the 1st, 2.
Then, utilize Fig. 2～Fig. 7 to illustrate and use the corresponding picture of setting operation of the photography conditions that digital camera 1 carries out, utilize Fig. 8,9,10 that the handling process that the photography scene is set is described respectively.
Fig. 2 is the figure of explanation based on the operation screen of the photography scene setting of the direct setting pattern in the scene photograph mode.Order according to (1), (2), (3) is come image switching.Fig. 2 (1) is following state: selected direct setting pattern, but also do not set concrete photography scene, set the photograph mode of automatic mode as acquiescence.Automatic mode is the pattern of setting AE, AF, AWB and taking under the condition of standard.
In picture 40, show the displaying live view image.The displaying live view image be " with the setting sun that sinks to the sea is background, about men and women two people clink glasses in central authorities and cheers, below cup, place apple " such scene.Be set at automatic mode as mentioned above, so this displaying live view image also is shown as the image of the image processing (color correction etc.) of carrying out based on automatic mode.
The photograph mode icon 50 that shows the current photograph mode of expression in the upper left corner of picture 40.The current automatic mode that is set at, so, as photograph mode icon 50, show the icon of expression automatic mode.Then, under this state, cameraman's finger 42 touches via touch panel 14 and shows the part that subject 52 is the setting sun.
Fig. 2 (2) is the picture after cameraman's finger 42 touches the display part of subjects 52 (setting sun).Detect the situation that has touched picture by operation detection part 11d, then, notify the position on the detected picture (position of the setting sun) to the subject detection 11c of portion.The subject detection 11c of portion extracts the view data in the zone corresponding with the position on the detected picture, the feature of the view data that Detection and Extraction go out from the view data of displaying live view image.Here, feature is the feature shown in the 1st example of Figure 11.
Then, the subject detection 11c of portion compares the feature and the subject database of this view data that extracts, and detects the kind of subject.Here, the subject detection 11c of portion is " setting sun " according to above-mentioned feature detection, notifies the situation of the kind of detected subject for " setting sun " to scene configuration part 11b.Then, as the photography scene of the kind that is suitable for subject " setting sun ", scene configuration part 11b selects " sunset clouds " from the photography contextual data, as the photography scene, sets in " sunset clouds ".
Photography conditions configuration part 11a sets the photography conditions corresponding with the photography scene of being set by scene configuration part 11b " sunset clouds " in image pickup part 15 and image processing part 17, be the condition shown in the 1st example of Figure 11.Simultaneously, in picture,,, show the scene cursor 56 that is used to represent as the subject of the foundation of photography scene in the mode of the setting sun that the is touched part of surrounding picture 40 by display control unit 18.And,, make the icon 53 of expression photography scene " sunset clouds " move to photograph mode icon 50 from the part of subject 52 (setting sun) with the direction shown in the p intuitively by display control unit 18.
Fig. 2 (3) is following picture: icon 53 moves to photograph mode icon 50, and the demonstration of photograph mode icon is switched to the icon of expression sunset clouds.In Fig. 2 (3), deletion scene cursor 56, but also can carry out residual processing.
Fig. 3 is the example of identical with Fig. 2 operation screen based on direct setting pattern, is the figure that the example of different subjects has been indicated in explanation.Fig. 3 (1) is the scene of the displaying live view image identical with Fig. 2, is the scene that is touched the part of having indicated left side women face by the cameraman.By the subject detection 11c of portion, the kind that the contrast of utilization and subject database detects indicated subject is " face ", and by scene configuration part 11b, " portrait " shown in the No3 of setting Figure 11 is as the scene of photographing.
Then, in picture 40, by display control unit 18, the displayed scene cursor 56 of overlapping in women face, carry out following demonstration: expression photography scene moves to photograph mode icon 50 for the icon 53 of the women face of " portrait " intuitively near the part of women face.
Fig. 3 (2) is following picture: the icon 53 of " portrait " moves to photograph mode icon 50, and the demonstration of photograph mode icon is switched to the icon of " portrait ".In addition, in Fig. 2 (3), deletion scene cursor 56 after the switching of photography scene, still, this example is the example of still residual displayed scene cursor 56.Move moving and show this scene cursor 56 according to subject.Continue displayed scene cursor 56, thus, clearly know subject as photography scene foundation.
Then, by photography conditions configuration part 11a, as the photography conditions corresponding with " portrait ", indicating image handling part 17 carries out in face area the processing of clear reflection face, for example improves the ISO photosensitivity of face's part.
Fig. 3 (3) is an example of setting the picture of 2 photography scenes simultaneously.Fig. 3 (3) and Fig. 3 (1) are same, are the scenes that is touched the part of having indicated left side women face by the cameraman.Here, by the subject detection 11c of portion, the kind that detects indicated subject is " women face " and " this face moves ".So,, set " beautiful (beauty) " and " character animation " by scene configuration part 11b as the photography scene." beauty " and " character animation " is the No4 of Figure 11, the photography scene shown in the No5.
By photography conditions configuration part 11a, as the photography conditions corresponding with " beauty ", indicating image handling part 17 is implemented in and reflects the processing of face, the smooth treatment of for example skin in the face area gallantly.Equally, setting is at the photography conditions of " character animation ".Then, by display control unit 18, not near the subject that is touched, but show the icon 53 of expression " beauty " and " character animation " at the upside of picture 40.When the icon of studio scape is represented in configuration near indicated subject, hinder the affirmation of subject sometimes, so, also can show in the position of avoiding this situation.
More than be based on the operation screen of setting of the photography scene of direct setting pattern.According to this direct setting pattern, only wish the subject of performance atmosphere and the subject of hope by indication on the displaying live view image, just can be used to take the photography conditions of emphasizing or optimizing the image of this subject by automatic setting, so, even the user of the scene of not photographing knowledge, also can be reliably and take significant image simply, rather than the general pattern of only under automatic mode, taking.
Fig. 4 is the operation screen of pattern is set in explanation based on the selection in the scene photograph mode figure.Fig. 4 (1)～(4) are the pictures that a succession of flow process is shown with time sequencing, and Fig. 4 (5) illustrates other demonstration examples of Fig. 4 (4).In Fig. 4, be example with " seashore between the lights is the women that jogs of background and the dog at seabeach with the mountain " such displaying live view image.
In Fig. 4 (1), in the picture set the photography scene by the cameraman before, set the photography scene of automatic mode as acquiescence, in the upper left photograph mode icon 50 of picture 40, show the icon of automatic mode.At the setting of selecting the setting pattern, set in not shown menu screen by the cameraman in advance.
Fig. 4 (2) is begin to select to photograph scene candidate's the picture of operation.Operation for example is the double click operation at picture 40 to start with, still, also can be based on the operation of push-botton operation portion 13.After beginning operation, distinctive subjects such as the subject detection 11c of portion extracts color, shape from picture integral body, move, this distinctive subject and the subject of registering in the subject database are compared, detect the kind of the subject that is present in picture integral body.
Here, the subject detection 11c of portion adds up to 4 kinds that detection is a subject according to above-mentioned feature with " setting sun ", " people in the motion ", " mountain ", " animal ", and 11b notifies this testing result to the scene configuration part.Scene configuration part 11b is under this selection setting pattern, and " sunset clouds ", " motion " that will derive accordingly with the kind of detected a plurality of subjects, " landscape far away ", " animal " are set at photography scene candidate.Thus, in picture 40, by display control unit 18, displayed scene candidate cursor 58 in each subject of " setting sun ", " people in the motion ", " mountain ", " animal ".Move moving and show this scene candidate cursor 58 according to subject.
Fig. 4 (3) is following situation: in the picture of the scene candidate's cursor 58 that has shown Fig. 4 (2), utilize scene candidate's cursor 58 of cameraman's finger 42 touches " people in the motion ", the scene of will photographing is set at " motion " corresponding with " people the motion " from the automatic mode switching.By scene configuration part 11b, from above-mentioned 4 scene candidates, set " motion " corresponding with " people in the motion " as the photography scene, be notified to photography conditions configuration part 11a.Then, by display control unit 18,, the icon 54 of " motion " shows so that moving to the mode of photograph mode icon 50 intuitively.Thus, be set at the photography conditions of " motion " by photography conditions configuration part 11a.
Fig. 4 (4) is set at picture after " motion " with the photography scene.Then, here, be illustrated in and switch the example of back by displayed scene cursor 56 among " people in the motion " of display control unit 18 in picture.This be for the clear and definite subject corresponding with current photography scene be which subject.
Fig. 4 (5) is that other that the photography scene is set at picture after " motion " show routine.Here, by display control unit 18 displayed scene cursor 56 in " people in the motion ", and, continue displayed scene candidate cursor 58, so that switching, photography scene once more becomes simple.At this moment, show with mutual different shape and colors, so that can on picture, easily discern scene cursor 56 and scene candidate cursor 58.
Fig. 5 (1) is another demonstration example of the state of Fig. 4 (2).In Fig. 4 (2), the overlapping demonstration on respectively corresponding subject of a plurality of scene candidate's cursors 58 still, in Fig. 5 (1), replaces scene candidate cursor 58, and shows that the icon as candidate's photography scene is candidate's icon 54.Promptly, by display control unit 18, overlapping demonstration and " sunset clouds ", " people in the motion ", " landscape far away ", " animal " suitable candidate's icon 54 near each subject of " setting sun ", " personage in the motion ", " mountain ", " animal " or on it.In this example, in the candidate of photography scene, not display highlighting and display icon, so, can be more prone to show the content of the scene that can select with distinguishing.
Fig. 5 (2) is other demonstration examples of Fig. 5 (1).In the picture of Fig. 5 (1), candidate's icon 54 is overlapping demonstration near the subject of correspondence or on it, still, in this example, by display control unit 18, below picture 40 with the mode show candidate icon 54 uniformly of row.This is because candidate's icon 54 is more eye-catching than scene candidate cursor 58 on picture, so when being disposed at the subject next door, obstruction is sometimes photographed.If alignment arrangements below picture is even show candidate icon 54 then also can reduce the possibility that hinders photography.
Fig. 6 is illustrated in the figure that selects in the setting pattern in conjunction with the example of the screen operation of detected 2 photography scenes.Order according to Fig. 6 (1)～(6) is passed.Fig. 6 (1) is the picture before the photography scene is switched, default setting automatic mode in the photography scene, the icon of demonstration automatic mode in the upper left photograph mode icon 50 of picture 40.The displaying live view image that shows in picture 40 is " be the male sex that background utilize portable phone speak with high-rise mansion night " such image.
Fig. 6 (2) is the picture that begins to select to set the operation of photography scene.Operation for example is the double click operation at picture 40 to start with, still, also can be based on the operation of push-botton operation portion 13.After beginning operation, by the subject detection 11c of portion, distinctive subject such as extract color, shape from picture integral body, move compares this distinctive subject and the subject of registering in the subject database, detect the kind of the subject that is present in picture integral body.
Here, by the subject detection 11c of portion, with " people ", " mansion at night " these 2 kinds that detection is a subject, 11b notifies this result to the scene configuration part according to above-mentioned image.By scene configuration part 11b, " people " and " night scene " this 2 corresponding with the kind " people " of subject and " mansion at night " is set at the scene candidate.Thus, in picture 40, by display control unit 18, displayed scene candidate cursor 58a in " people ", displayed scene candidate cursor 58b in " mansion at night ".Move moving and show this scene candidate cursor 58a, 58b in conjunction with subject.
Fig. 6 (3) is following picture: utilize cameraman's finger 42 to touch these 2 of shown scene candidate's cursor 58a, 58b continuously, show corresponding candidate's icon 54a, 54b.Utilize cameraman's finger 42 to touch scene candidate's cursor 58a of " people " and scene candidate's cursor 58b of " mansion at night " respectively, by display control unit 18, near show candidate icon 54a scene candidate cursor 58a, near show candidate icon 54b scene candidate cursor 58b.
Fig. 6 (4) is the figure that following situation is shown: shown candidate's icon 54b of candidate's icon 54a of " people " and " night scene " in Fig. 6 (3) after, candidate's icon 54a and 54b point to the direction p shown in the dotted line, be both centre positions each other and move intuitively.Selected 2 photography scenes, so, carry out following processing: set the new photography scene that satisfies 2 photography scene both sides.
In Fig. 6 (5), in conjunction with candidate's icon 54a of " people " and candidate's icon 54b of " night scene ", demonstration is switched to the icon 53 of new " people/night scene ", the icon 53 after the switching moves to photograph mode icon 50 intuitively along the direction p shown in the dotted line.Photography scene " personage/night scene " is the example shown in the No9 of Figure 11.Be set at " people/night scene " by the scene configuration part 11b scene of will photographing.
Fig. 6 (6) illustrates the picture of situation that demonstration with photograph mode icon 50 switches to the icon 53 of photography scene " people/night scene ".
As mentioned above, in selecting the setting pattern, not only can select single photography scene, can also be in conjunction with a plurality of photography scenes, so, can set the further photography conditions that has reflected cameraman's photography intention.
Fig. 7 is the picture example in the time of can't carrying out the binding operation of detected 2 photography scenes in selecting the setting pattern.Fig. 7 (1) is the picture before the photography scene is switched, default setting automatic mode in the photography scene, the icon of demonstration automatic mode in the upper left photograph mode icon 50 of picture 40.The displaying live view image that shows in picture 40 is " be women that background jog with high-rise mansion night " such image.
Fig. 7 (2) begins to select to set the operation of photography scene and the picture of show candidate icon 54a, 54b.At first, show 2 scene candidate cursor 58a, 58b, roughly utilize cameraman's finger touch scene candidate cursor 58a, 58b both sides then simultaneously, show candidate icon 54a, 54b.
Here, simple declaration becomes the processing of above-mentioned picture.Operation for example is the double click operation at picture 40 to start with, still, also can be based on the operation of push-botton operation portion 13.After beginning operation, by the subject detection 11c of portion, distinctive subject such as from picture integral body, extract color, shape, move, this distinctive subject and the subject of registering in the subject database are compared, detect " kind of subject " that be present in picture integral body.
Particularly, by the subject detection 11c of portion, with " people in the motion ", " mansion at night " these 2 kinds that detection is a subject, be notified to scene configuration part 11b according to above-mentioned feature.Then, by scene configuration part 11b, " motion " and " night scene " this 2 corresponding with the kind " people in the motion " of subject and " mansion at night " is set at the scene candidate.Thus, in picture 40, by display control unit 18, displayed scene candidate cursor 58a in " people in the motion ", displayed scene candidate cursor 58b in " mansion at night ".Move and show this scene candidate cursor 58a, 58b according to moving also of subject.And then, by the touch indication at scene candidate cursor 58a, 58b, show candidate icon 54a, 54b near scene candidate cursor 58a, 58b.
But, here, the photography scene of " motion " and " night scene " be can't in conjunction with combination.This be because, " motion " requires the shutter speed of high speed, " night scene " requires the shutter speed of low speed, is contradiction.Then, for make the cameraman understand clearly selected photography scene be can't in conjunction with the combination of photography scene, carry out following demonstration by display control unit 18.
Shown in Fig. 7 (3), each candidate's icon 54a, the 54b of " motion " and " night scene " intuitively to the direction p shown in the dotted line, be that both intermediate point moves.Then, shown in Fig. 7 (4), the following demonstration: candidate's icon 54a, 54b are in the intermediate point conflict, and candidate's icon 54a, 54b carry out the revolution of U type and return original position.
Fig. 7 (5) is each candidate's icon 54a of " motion " and " night scene ", the state that 54b returns original position.Therefore, the cameraman can select candidate's icon arbitrarily once more.
As mentioned above, selected can't in conjunction with the situation of photography scene under, on picture, clearly illustrate can't in conjunction with, so the cameraman can further understand this meaning.
Fig. 8～Figure 10 be in the digital camera 1 that is set at the scene photograph mode, the flow chart of the flow process handled of the explanation setting of the photography scene of explanation before this.At first, Fig. 8 is the main flow chart of the integral body handled of the setting of explanation photography scene.In addition, these processing mainly wait and carry out by control part 11, photography conditions configuration part 11a, scene configuration part 11b, the subject detection 11c of portion, operation detection part 11d, display control unit 18.
Here, establish digital camera 1 and be set at photograph mode and scene photograph mode.In photograph mode, control part 11 shows displaying live view image (step S11) continuously with certain frame rate.As illustrated in fig. 2, in the scene photograph mode, acquiescence (default) pattern of photography scene is an automatic mode.Then, control part 11 has judged whether to select the arbitrary patterns of direct setting pattern or selection setting pattern as the concrete pattern (step S12) in the scene photograph mode.In not shown menu (menu) picture, select direct setting pattern or select the setting pattern.Be judged as (step S12: be) under the situation of having selected direct setting pattern at control part 11, carry out the processing (step S13) of direct setting pattern.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart of subprogram that specifies the processing of direct setting pattern.Control part 11 judges whether to have been undertaken specifying by the cameraman operation (step S21) of any subject by operation detection part 11d on the picture that shows the displaying live view image.(step S21: not), finish the flow process of the subprogram of Fig. 9, enter the step S15 of Fig. 8 when control part 11 is judged as the operation of not specifying subject.
When control part 11 is judged as the operation that has the appointment subject (step S21: be), enter step S22.It is the scene shown in Fig. 2 (1).The subject detection 11c of portion extracts specified subject (step S22), determines the kind (step S23) of specified subject.Particularly, the subject detection 11c of portion extracts the view data in specified zone from the displaying live view image, seeks the feature of the view data that extracts.Feature is not only considered specified subject, also considers the condition of the relation of specified subject and picture integral body and the time on date of photographing etc.Then, the feature portion of specified subject and the subject database that is stored in the routine data storage part 12 are compared, determine the kind of subject.Under the less situation of the feature of specified subject and exist feature but be not to be registered under the situation of the kind in the subject database, can't determine the kind of subject.Whether the subject detection 11c of portion can determine the kind of subject to control part 11 notices.
Control part 11 has judged whether to determine the kind (step S24) of subject by the notice from the subject detection 11c of portion.Be judged as not (step S24: not), finish the flow process of the subprogram of Fig. 9, enter the step S15 of Fig. 8 under the situation of the kind of determining subject at control part 11.
Be judged as at control part 11 under the situation of the kind of having determined subject (step S24: be), enter step S25.Select the photography scene (step S25) corresponding in the photography contextual data of scene configuration part 11b from be stored in routine data storage part 12, be set and be new photography scene (step S26) with the kind of subject.Photography conditions configuration part 11a determines new photography conditions according to the change of photography scene.For example, image processing part 17 changes are at the condition of the image processing of displaying live view image.
Display control unit 18 changes the demonstration (step S27) of photograph mode icon etc. according to the setting of new photography scene.Particularly, shown in the picture of Fig. 2 (2), (3) or Fig. 3 (1), (2), display control unit 18 shows the icon 53 corresponding with the photography scene that sets near specified subject, make this icon 53 to photograph mode icon 50 side shiftings then, the content of change photograph mode icon.After having set new photography scene, enter the step S15 of Fig. 8.
After step S15, control part 11 judges whether to exist opening operation and the releasing operation as the representative of interrupt operation, if there are not these operations, then the setting of repeat photography scene is handled.
At first, control part 11 judges whether to have carried out opening operation (step S15).Opening operation is the operation of being undertaken by push-botton operation portion 13.When control part 11 is judged as (step S15: be) when having carried out opening operation, the power supply end process of combine digital camera 1.
(step S15: not), having judged whether to carry out the indication that photography carries out is releasing operation (step S16) when control part 11 is judged as when not carrying out opening operation.When control part 11 is judged as (step S16: not), return step S11 when not carrying out releasing operation.When control part 11 is judged as (step S16: be) when having carried out releasing operation, carry out photograph processing (step S17) with the photography conditions that sets, return step S11.More than, finish the explanation of the flow process of direct setting pattern.
Then, select the explanation of the processing of the pattern of setting.In the step S12 of Fig. 8, when control part 11 is judged as (step S12: not), carry out the processing (step S13) of selecting the setting pattern when not selecting direct setting pattern.Figure 10 is the flow chart that specifies the subprogram of the processing of selecting the setting pattern.
Control part 11 judges on the picture that shows the displaying live view image whether carried out the indication operation (step S30) that photography scene candidate selects by the cameraman by operation detection part 11d.As the indication operation, for example be to double-click.It is the scene shown in Fig. 4 (1).
Be judged as indication operation back (the step S30: not), enter step S31 that the scene candidate that do not photograph selects.In step S31, if selected after the scene candidate, then need to jump to step S36, so control part 11 carries out this judgement in step S31.If control part 11 has been selected photography scene candidate (step S31: be) in picture, then jump to step S36.If photography scene candidate is not then selected in initial processing certainly, so therefore step S31 finishes the flow process of the subprogram of Figure 10 for not, enters the step S15 of Fig. 8.
When control part 11 is judged as the indication operation of having carried out photography scene candidate selection by operation detection part 11d (step S30: be), enter step S32.The subject detection 11c of portion extracts the subject (step S32) with feature from the integral body of displaying live view image.And then the subject detection 11c of portion determines the kind (step S33) of this subject according to the subject that extracts.Concrete method is identical with step S22, so omit.Whether the subject detection 11c of portion can determine the kind of subject to control part 11 notices.
Control part 11 has judged whether to determine at least the kind (step S34) of a subject.Be judged as (step S34: not), finish the flow process of the subprogram of Figure 10, enter the step S15 of Fig. 8 under the situation of the kind that does not have to determine any one subject at control part 11.
Be judged as at control part 11 under the situation of the kind of having determined a subject at least (step S34: be), enter step S35.Display control unit 18 repeats displayed scene candidate cursor (step S35) on the subject that can determine kind.It is the picture shown in Fig. 4 (2).That is, be not limited to a subject, can determining displayed scene candidate cursor on whole subjects of kind.Under this situation, even the kind of identical subject also can be distinguished displayed scene candidate cursor.For example, in picture, there are 3 people,, also can on 3 people, add scene candidate's cursor of " people " respectively as the kind of subject.
And, select the corresponding photography scene of kind in the photography contextual data of scene configuration part 11b from be stored in routine data storage part 12 with above-mentioned definite subject.Under the situation of the kind that has a plurality of subjects, scene configuration part 11b selects corresponding a plurality of photography scenes.
Here, shown in Fig. 5 (1), (2), replace scene candidate cursor, display control unit 18 also can the show candidate icon.This is because if do not hinder the affirmation subject, then candidate's icon is also known the content of corresponding photography scene.
Control part 11 judges whether by the cameraman from selected specific photography scene (step S36) scene candidate's cursor of screen displayed or candidate's icon by operation detection part 11d.Particularly, added the position of scene candidate's cursor or candidate's icon with finger touch.Be judged as cameraman (the step S36: not), finish the flow process of the subprogram of Figure 10, enter the step S15 of Fig. 8 under the situation of scene that do not select to photograph at control part 11.
Be judged as the cameraman at control part 11 and selected under the situation of photography scene (step S36: be), then, control part 11 judges whether selected photography scene is a plurality of (step S37).If selected specific photography scene be not a plurality of, promptly be one (step S37: not), then enter step S40.
Scene configuration part 11b changes to selected photography scene (step S40) with current photography scene (being defaulted as automatic mode).Photography conditions configuration part 11a determines photography conditions according to selected new photography scene.For example, image processing part 17 changes are at the condition of the image processing of displaying live view image.
The demonstration (step S41) of display control unit 18 change photograph mode icons 50.Particularly, in the mode of Fig. 4, display control unit 18 shows the icon 54 of photography scene after changing, makes this icon move to photograph mode icon 50 (Fig. 4 (3)), the demonstration (Fig. 4 (4)) of change photograph mode icon 50.And display control unit 18 is after changing, displayed scene cursor 56 (Fig. 4 (4)) continuously on as the subject of the foundation of after changing photography scene.And shown in Fig. 4 (5), display control unit 18 also can continue displayed scene candidate cursor 58 after changing, so that the switching of new photography scene.
On the other hand, be a plurality of (step S37: be) if control part 11 is judged as selected specific photography scene, then enter step S38.It is the mode shown in Fig. 6,7.Scene configuration part 11b judges whether can be in conjunction with these selected a plurality of photography scenes (step S38).Being judged as at scene configuration part 11b can be in conjunction with this under situation of selected a plurality of photography scenes (step S38: be), enters step S40.Scene configuration part 11b with current photography scene change setting be in conjunction with after photography scene (step S40).The photography scene of photography conditions configuration part 11a after according to combination determined photography conditions.Picture (step S41) shown in display control unit 18 displayed map 6 (4), (5), (6).After having changed the photography scene, enter the step S15 of Fig. 8.The later processing of step S15 is illustrated, so omit.
On the contrary, situation as shown in Figure 7 is such, scene configuration part 11b be judged as can't be in conjunction with this (step S38: not), display control unit 18 carries out the demonstration (step S39) of the error picture shown in Fig. 7 (3), (4), (5), returns step S15 under situation of selected a plurality of photography scenes.
As described above, in the direct preference pattern of the 1st execution mode of the present invention, the photography scene that automatic setting is corresponding with selected subject, so, even without the knowledge of photography scene, also can set the photography scene of hope simply.
And, in the selection setting pattern of the 1st execution mode of the present invention, can from the suggested candidate's scene that can set of picture, select to wish the photography scene of change, so, after confirming the photography scene that in current displaying live view image, can select, can set the photography scene of wishing more.
Then, use Figure 12～Fig. 18 explanations the 2nd execution mode of the present invention.In the 1st execution mode, utilize the picture 40 of finger touch display part 19 to carry out the setting operation of photography conditions.Relative therewith, in the 2nd execution mode, utilize finger that picture 140 is carried out the setting operation that slide carries out photography conditions.It is identical to have carried structure shown in Figure 1 in structure and the 1st execution mode of digital camera of photography conditions control device of the 2nd execution mode, so, detailed.
