In addition, will be called display unit to the device that the view data of dynamic image that recording medium write down and still image is reproduced.Display unit is made up of the parts of from the block diagram 1 of camera 1, having removed behind image pickup part 15, dynamic image control part 11b, still image control part 11d and the shoot functions such as dynamic image recording portion and still image recording portion.
Then, adopt Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 to explain that the live view when in dynamic image is taken, carrying out the still image shooting shows.The shooting example of using in the explanation after Fig. 2 is illustrated in.In Fig. 2, transverse axis is a time shaft, begins to take action at moment t1; Take still image A at moment t2, take still image B, take still image C at moment t4 at moment t3; Take still image D at moment t5, take still image E, take still image F at moment t7 at moment t6.
When display part image on picture, it is faded out.The right angle trigonometry shape of each still image representes that the brightness of parts of images reduces the situation of (fading out).The moment t2 display brightness of the parts of images of still image A after still image is just taken is the highest, and display brightness reduces gradually then, and final the demonstration disappears.The time that disappears is between moment t4 and the t5.B~F is identical with still image, and display brightness is the highest in the time of after still image is taken shooting just, and display brightness reduces gradually then, after the process stipulated time, disappears.The demonstration time of various piece image from beginning to disappearing is identical, for example is 5 seconds.
Fig. 3 is illustrated under the situation of in dynamic image is taken, having carried out the still image shooting opportunity shown in Figure 2 the figure of the concrete picture of the parts of images of demonstration still image in the live view of dynamic image.The sight of this figure is that dog, family and people are taken as mainly taking the photograph body, wherein dog is identified as the quilt that is moving and takes the photograph body.Fig. 3 (b)~(f) representes that respectively the live view of t4~t8 shows that Fig. 3 a is the figure of the motion of the parts of images Ap~Fp shown in concentrated expression Fig. 3 (b)~(f) constantly.That is, Fig. 3 (b) is the live view demonstration at moment t4 shown in Figure 2.In Fig. 3 b, parts of images Ap that from still image A, extracts and the parts of images Bp that from still image B, extracts show the stipulated time with the mode of image retention.And it is low that parts of images Ap and parts of images Bp compare display brightness.Cr1, Cr2, Cr3 are the real images of moment t4.Like this, at moment t4, with real image Cr1, Cr2, Cr3 display part image A p, Bp.
Equally, Fig. 3 (c) be constantly t4~t5 roughly in the middle of constantly live view show that it shows this real image Dr1~Dr3 constantly, and show the parts of images Ap~Cp that from 3 still image A~C, extracts.In addition, parts of images Ap reduces at the roughly middle display brightness constantly of moment t4~t5, and is thin out as its demonstration of parts of images.Fig. 3 (d) is that the live view of t6 constantly shows, it shows this real image Er1~Er3 constantly, and shows the parts of images Dp that from still image D, extracts.Parts of images Dp display brightness when moment t6 reduces, and is thin out as its demonstration of parts of images.
Equally, Fig. 3 (e) is that the live view of t7 constantly shows, it shows this real image Fr1~Fr3 constantly, and shows parts of images Dp, the Ep that from still image D, E, extracts.Parts of images Dp display brightness when moment t7 reduces, and is shown lightlyer than Ep as parts of images.Fig. 3 (f) is that the live view of t8 constantly shows, it shows this real image Gr1~Gr3 constantly, and shows parts of images Ep, the Fp that from still image E, F, extracts.Parts of images Ep display brightness when moment t8 reduces, and it is shown lightlyer than Fp as parts of images.
In Fig. 2 and example shown in Figure 3, though taking the photograph body, in same picture, moves by the quilt of parts of images Ap-Fp, the shooting angle of visual field of camera and direction do not change.Fig. 4 is the figure of the demonstration situation of parts of images when being illustrated in the shooting angle of visual field variation that makes camera in the dynamic image shooting.In addition, Fig. 4 (a) is and the corresponding demonstration of Fig. 3 (b).When from the state shown in this Fig. 4 (a), photographer is with camera to the right significantly during vibration (panning to the right), and shown in Fig. 4 (b), position that should the display part image moves on to outside the picture.Under this state, display control unit 11a is live view display part image A p, Bp not.
But, change under the little situation at picture, shown in Fig. 4 (c), display part image A p, Bp on the position that when still image is taken, exists.That is, display control unit 11a display part image A p, Bp make the position of the parts of images (Ap, Bp) in the picture when taking and the real image Cr1 of current demonstration, the position of Cr2 keep opposing relation.
In addition; When picture changes greatly, when parts of images when still image is taken is not positioned at the picture that variation has taken place; In this execution mode shown in Fig. 4 (b) display part image not, taken the photograph on the irrelevant position, body position but shown in Fig. 4 (d), also can parts of images be shown to current.In the case, if the parts of images when storage is taken in advance in the position on the picture and the position that is shown on the picture identical with it both can.In this figure is the position in the picture upper right corner.In addition, in Fig. 4 (b)~(c), in picture variation judging part 11e, judge moving of picture.
Above explanation is the demonstration during dynamic image is taken, and then adopts Fig. 5~Fig. 7 that the situation of after dynamic image is taken, reproducing demonstration is described.Here, the center of being shown as when having carried out in dynamic image is taken that still image is taken describes.
Fig. 5 (a) is illustrated in the demonstration of the parts of images of the still image under the dynamic image reproduction mode.Live view in when reproduce showing, also carrying out taking with above-mentioned dynamic image shows same demonstration.Here, t11, t12, the t13 of Fig. 5 (a) ... T1, t2, t3 with Fig. 2 ... Corresponding respectively.The brightness variation of the each several part image that shows each right angle trigonometry shape likewise is shown with Fig. 2 in addition.Begin the reproduction of dynamic image at moment t11.Then, the demonstration of the parts of images Ap of the still image A that begins to take at moment t12 at moment t2.Parts of images Ap is the highest at its display brightness of moment t12, and then, display brightness reduces gradually, and is final, and the demonstration of parts of images Ap disappears between moment t14 and t15.
Below same; Begin to reproduce the parts of images Bp of still image B at moment t13; Begin to reproduce the parts of images Cp of still image C at moment t14; Begin to reproduce the parts of images Dp of still image D at moment t15, begin to reproduce the parts of images Ep of still image E, begin to reproduce the parts of images Fp of still image F at moment t17 at moment t16.Parts of images Bp~Fp too when showing beginning display brightness the highest, display brightness reduces gradually then, the final disappearance.
Like this, in this execution mode, likewise, make the parts of images of still image show the stipulated time and fade out in taking with dynamic image.In addition, in dynamic image is taken and when reproducing, when the demonstration of parts of images begins, show and it is faded out with maximum brightness.But, can certainly begin with the mode of fading in to show in dynamic image is taken or when reproducing.Shown in Fig. 5 (b), when dynamic image reproduces, the parts of images of still image is shown to the last with certain brightness in addition.
In addition, when in dynamic image reproduces, reproducing the parts of images of still image, also can change reproduction speed.For example, reproduce with constant speed in the interval of display part image not, the interval of image makes reproduction speed slack-off or stop temporarily in the display part.Fig. 6 utilizes time chart to be illustrated in the figure that dynamic image changes the example of reproduction speed in reproducing under the situation of display part still image.Fig. 6 (a) illustrates the example of slow reproduction dynamic image.In the case, can suitably set the slow recovery time, for example can be about 4 seconds.Be shutter opportunity the opportunity of taking still image, because be scene residual in impression, so carry out the demonstration of impression before and after can taking through slow reproduction still image.
In addition; Shown in Fig. 6 (b), carrying out the opportunity that still image is taken, can also be after this parts of images slowly reproduces about 2 seconds; The general image that will comprise the still image of this parts of images reproduces and shows about 1 second, once more parts of images is slowly reproduced about 2 seconds.In addition, shown in Fig. 6 (c), reproduce, make this still image show the stipulated time (for example 1 second), then, begin dynamic image once more and reproduce at interim interruption on the opportunity dynamic image that still image is taken.That is the general image that, during the dynamic image reproduction, certainly shows still image.The whole time that shows of the time of the slow reproduction of Fig. 6 (a)~(c) put down in writing and still image also can suitably change.
Picture when the dynamic image in Fig. 7 (a) expression display part 19 and the reproduction of still image show.Be provided with the dynamic image display window 19a that is used to show dynamic image to central portion from the display frame top of display part 19.In addition, dispose dynamic image thumbnail 19d in the display frame bottom of display part 19 horizontal row.Dynamic image thumbnail 19d is the thumbnail image that from dynamic integral image, extracts with constant duration.When establishing dynamic time image integral body when being 6 minutes, thumbnail image is 1 minute interval.Because dynamic image thumbnail 19d is the image of constant duration, so the example of dynamic image thumbnail 19d also is equivalent to time shaft.
The top of dynamic image thumbnail 19d disposes cursor 19c.During cursor 19c representes that dynamic image display window 19a is current and which position is being reproduced.In addition, cursor 19c reproduces the time that begins according to the dynamic image from reproduce and moves to the right from the left side in dynamic image display window 19a, reproduces at dynamic image to arrive right-hand member when finishing.The user can confirm current reproduction position through the position of observing this cursor 19c.
And, between cursor 19c and dynamic image display window 19a, dispose still image thumbnail 19b horizontal row.Still image breviary Figure 19 is configured in and takes the position that opportunity, suitable dynamic image thumbnail 19d was listed as of this still image.Each thumbnail of still image thumbnail 19b is with right side shoulder mode tilted configuration upwards.In addition, can certainly be upwards opposite with right side shoulder, be configured with a left side downward mode of shoulder.
Because the display frame by such constitutes, so when the reproduction of dynamic image began, cursor 19c moved according to the time from the outset.Then, according to the process of time, on dynamic image display window 19a, show like Fig. 3, the overlapping dynamic image that the parts of images of still image is arranged shown in Figure 4.
Picture shown in Fig. 7 (b) is other example of the picture shown in Fig. 7 (a) as the reproduction picture that has the dynamic image of still image.In the example shown in Fig. 7 (b), dynamic image display window 19a also is configured to central portion from the top of the display frame of display part 19.
Dispose the time shaft 19g of dynamic image point-blank in the bottom horizontal of the display frame of display part 19.On time shaft 19g, dispose cursor 19f.Cursor 19f is identical with cursor 19c, and is mobile to the right from the left side according to the time that begins from the dynamic reconstruction of image, reproduces at dynamic image to arrive right-hand member when finishing.In addition, on time shaft 19g, show still image right moment for camera 19h.
Between time shaft 19g and dynamic image display window 19a, dispose still image thumbnail 19e horizontal row.When the shooting of still image thumbnail 19e, strictly show near the position of configuring static image thumbnails 19e taking constantly at still image right moment for camera 19h.
Because constitute the variation of the display frame of this execution mode in this wise, so when the reproduction of dynamic image began, cursor 19f moved according to the time from the outset.Then, according to the process of time, in dynamic image display window 19a, show like Fig. 3, the overlapping dynamic image that the parts of images of still image is arranged shown in Figure 4.
Then, adopt Fig. 8~flow chart shown in Figure 12 that action in this execution mode is described.Control part 11 is carried out the processing of these flow processs according to 12 program stored of program/data store.When getting into the flow process of dynamic image shooting shown in Figure 8, at first, show common live view (S1).Here, in display part 19, carrying out common live view according to the view data that is obtained by image pickup part 15 shows.In common live view shows, do not carry out demonstration like the parts of images of employing Fig. 2~still image that Fig. 4 explains.
Carry out common live view on one side and show, Yi Bian whether there is dynamic image to take the judgement (S3) of the indication of beginning.Here, 1 in the decision portion 13 is the mode of operation of dynamic image button.Result in this judgement when not having dynamic image to take the indication of beginning, returns step S1, proceeds common live view and shows.
On the other hand, the result of determination in step S3 is when having dynamic image to take the indication of beginning, then to begin dynamic image and take (S5), carries out dynamic image record (S7).Here, after in compressed and decompressed 20 of image processing part 17, dynamic image, the view data that is obtained by image pickup part 15 being handled, by dynamic image recoding/reproduction portion 22 with the Imagery Data Recording of dynamic image to image storage part 24.After among the step S17 that states, proceed the shooting and the record of this dynamic image, until having carried out the shut-down operation that dynamic image is taken.
When having begun dynamic image shooting and record, judge that then whether having carried out the still image shooting begins to indicate (S9).Here, 1 in the decision portion 13 is the mode of operation of release-push.In result of determination is to carry out the overlapping processing of parts of images (S11) when having still image to take the indication that begins.The overlapping processing of this parts of images will exist the quilt of motion to take the photograph body and extract as parts of images from still image, and make this parts of images and dynamic image overlapping.The back adopts Figure 10 to narrate the detailed action of the overlapping processing of parts of images.
Result of determination in step S9 is when not having still image to take the indication of beginning, whether the judgement (S13) of the parts of images in the overlapping demonstration have been arranged then.In this execution mode,, make fading out that luminance of display images reduces gradually when carrying out parts of images when showing.Therefore, in this step, judge whether have the parts of images in fading out.
When the result of determination in step S13 is the parts of images that does not have in the overlapping demonstration, then carries out common live view and show (S15).Here because there is not the parts of images in the demonstration, so carry out showing with the same common live view of step S1.
When the result of determination in step S13 is the parts of images that has had in the overlapping demonstration, then picture and current picture before are just compared (S21 of Fig. 9).As adopt Fig. 4 illustrated, exist the vibration camera to make the mobile situation of picture itself.Whether therefore, vibrate in order to judge picture, in this step, picture changes judging part 11e picture before just and current picture is compared.
Then, judge whether picture changes big (S23).Here, picture variation judging part 11e judges according to the comparative result among the step S21.It is exactly greatly as employing Fig. 4 (b) is illustrated that so-called picture changes, and picture has been moved and has made the parts of images that from still image, extracts not be positioned at the degree of the picture after moving.Be judged to be picture when changing greatly in its result of determination, get into step S15, carry out common live view demonstration, not the display part image.
When the result of determination in step S23 is the not bigger variation of picture, judge then whether picture changes less (S25).Here, picture variation judging part 11e judges according to the comparative result among the step S21.So-called picture change less be exactly as adopt Fig. 4 (c) illustrated, though that picture has taken place is mobile, the parts of images that extracts from still image still is positioned at the degree of the picture after mobile.
Result of determination in step S25 is that picture changes hour, then parts of images is shown to corresponding position (S27) according to the variation of picture.Here, that kind shown in Fig. 4 (c) shows, so that the position of parts of images makes the position of parts of images and real image keep relative position relation according to the moving of picture.
When in step S27, having shown parts of images or the result of determination among the step S25 be picture when not changing, then reduce the brightness (S29) of parts of images according to the elapsed time.As stated, make display brightness along with the time reduces, and display part, the ground image that fades out.
Then, record and the position/opportunity of overlapping display part image and relevant a succession of information (S30) such as brightness of reduction on dynamic image.Through storing a succession of information of necessity and the view data of dynamic image into image storage part 24 explicitly in advance, can as Fig. 5~Fig. 7 is illustrated, when reproducing the demonstration dynamic image, show the parts of images of still image simply.
When having carried out in step S11 that parts of images is overlapping to be handled or in step S15, carried out common live view when showing or when in step S30, having write down a succession of information, then whether there is dynamic image to take the judgement (S17 of Fig. 8) of shut-down operation.Here, judge whether operated the dynamic image button once more.In its result of determination is when not carrying out dynamic image shooting shut-down operation, to return step S5, proceeds dynamic image and takes.
Result of determination in step S17 is when having carried out dynamic image shooting shut-down operation, whether the judgement (S19) of power supply opening operation to be arranged then.Here, be that power knob is judged according to 1 that whether has operated in the operating portion 13.In its result of determination is when not having the power supply opening operation, returns step S1 and carries out above-mentioned processing.On the other hand, when having carried out the power supply opening operation, finish the dynamic image screening-mode.
Then, the overlapping processing of parts of images of adopting the flow chart of subprogram shown in Figure 10 to come description of step S11.When flow process that the entering part doubling of the image is handled, at first carry out still image and take (S31) and carry out still image record (S33).In step S9; Because the indication that has still image to take; So here; After in compressed and decompressed 21 of image processing part 17, still image, the view data that is obtained by image pickup part 15 having been carried out handling, in image storage part 24, carry out the record image data of still image by still image recoding/reproduction portion 23.
When having carried out that still image is taken and during record, then carry out in still image, whether comprising the judgement (S35) that the quilt that has motion is taken the photograph body.In this step, picture changes the picture of the shooting front and back of judging part 11e contrast still image, and judges whether have the part that has motion.In its result of determination is when not comprising the quilt that has motion and taking the photograph body, likewise carries out common live view with step S1 and S15 and shows (S45).
On the other hand, when the result of determination among the step S35 is when in still image, having comprised the quilt that has motion and taking the photograph body, then from still image, extract to exist the quilt of motion to take the photograph body portion as parts of images (S37).Here, the image that compares and extract the part that has motion before and after the shooting of the 11d of parts of images extraction portion to still image is as parts of images.
When in step S37, having extracted parts of images, follow the relation information (S39) of recording section image and dynamic image and this parts of images.The image data storage of the parts of images that will in step S37, extract here, is to image storage part 24.The relation information and the parts of images of the positions of the parts of images in the dynamic image picture the when opportunity of in addition, still image being taken and this still image are taken etc. store in the image storage part 24 explicitly.
When in step S39, having write down relation information, then carry out the parts of images that is extracted is overlapped onto the locational processing (S41) of the correspondence of live view.Here, the display control unit 11a parts of images that will in step S37, extract overlaps onto on the position of the correspondence in the live view image.When having carried out this overlapping processing, then show the live view (S43) that has parts of images.Here, display driver portion 18 is presented at the live view that has parts of images that has carried out among the step S41 after the overlapping processing.
When in step S43, having shown the live view that has parts of images or in step S45, having shown common live view, return initial flow process.
Then, adopt flow chart shown in Figure 11 that the action that dynamic image reproduces is described.When getting into the flow process of dynamic image reproduction mode, at first, judge that whether having carried out dynamic image reproduces indication (S51).When camera reproduces button etc. and gets into reproduction mode through operation, carry out the thumbnail demonstration of still image or dynamic image.In this step, judge and whether utilize the operation of cross button, OK button or touch panel etc. to select any in the dynamic image thumbnail.When not having dynamic image to reproduce indication, wait pending dynamic image to reproduce indication.In addition, when having selected the thumbnail of still image, carry out common still image and reproduce, but in this execution mode, omit explanation.
When the result of determination among the step S51 is when having carried out dynamic image reproduction indication, then to read parts of images corresponding with reproducing dynamic image and relation information (S53) thereof.In step S30, parts of images and relation information are stored in the image storage part 24, in this step S53, read parts of images corresponding and relation information with reproduced image from image storage part 24.
Then carry out dynamic image and reproduce (S55).Here; Utilize dynamic image recoding/reproduction portion 22 from image storage part 24, to read out in the view data of the dynamic image of step S51 selection; After in compressed and decompressed 20 of dynamic image, having carried out image decompressor, reproduce in display part 19 by display driver portion 18 and to show dynamic image.Reproduce about this dynamic image, read the view data of dynamic image successively and reproduce demonstration, until after be judged to be among the step S57 that states and carried out till dynamic image reproduces shut-down operation.
When having carried out the dynamic image reproduction, then judge whether have corresponding new parts of images (S57).Along with beginning the process of time from the dynamic reconstruction of image, and new parts of images appears.In the example shown in Fig. 5 a, moment t12, t13 ... New parts of images appears respectively in t17, judges the opportunity that these parts of images occur according to the relation information of in step S53, reading.
Result of determination in step S57 is when having new parts of images, then carries out parts of images is overlapped onto the processing (S59) of the correspondence position of dynamic image.Here, display control unit 11a will overlap onto the processing of the correspondence position of dynamic image from the parts of images that image storage part 24 is read according to relation information.
When in step S59, having carried out overlapping processing, then reproduce the dynamic image (S61) that has parts of images.Here, display driver portion 18 dynamic image that has parts of images that display part 19 is presented at generate among the step S59.
Whether result of determination in step S57 is when not having new parts of images, follow decision section image in demonstration (S63).In step S61, reproduce the dynamic image have parts of images, if this parts of images does not disappear, being judged to be here " being " then.
When the result of determination among the step S63 is a parts of images not in demonstration the time, then reproduce common dynamic image (S65).Here, about the dynamic image of in step S51, selecting, do not have overlapping display part image but carry out common reproduction.
When the result of determination among the step S63 is a parts of images in demonstration the time, then picture and current picture before are just compared (S71 of Figure 12).Picture changes judging part 11e picture in the current demonstration in the dynamic image and picture is just compared.This relatively is used for 2 following pictures that step is carried out and changes judgement.
Then, judge whether picture changes (S73) greatly.Here, picture variation judging part 11e judges according to the comparative result among the step S71.It is exactly greatly that situation when taking with dynamic image is identical that so-called picture changes, the mobile degree that makes parts of images not be positioned at picture that reaches of the picture generation of dynamic image.When its result of determination is judged to be picture when changing greatly, get into step S65, carry out common dynamic image and reproduce, and the situation identical (with reference to Fig. 4 (b)) when taking with dynamic image, do not carry out the overlapping demonstration of parts of images.
When the result of determination among the step S73 is that picture changes when little, carry out then whether picture changes little judgement (S75).Here, picture variation judging part 11e judges according to the comparative result among the step S71.It is identical that so-called picture changes little situation when taking with dynamic image, moves though be meant picture, and parts of images still is positioned at the degree of the picture of dynamic image.
Result of determination in step S75 is that picture changes hour, then parts of images is shown to corresponding position (S77) according to the variation of picture.Here, show equally when taking, so that the relative position relation of the position of retaining part image and dynamic image picture is moved according to picture in the position of parts of images with dynamic image (with reference to Fig. 4 (c)).
Result of determination when in step S77, having shown parts of images or in step S75 is a picture when not changing, and then makes the brightness of parts of images reduce (S79) according to the elapsed time.The situation identical (with reference to Fig. 3 (b)~(f)) that live view when taking shows because fade out display part, ground image, institute so that display brightness along with the time reduces.
When the brightness that in step S79, makes parts of images has reduced or when in step 61, having reproduced the dynamic image that has parts of images or in step S65, carried out common dynamic image when reproducing, judge that then whether having dynamic image reproduces shut-down operation (S67 of Figure 11).Here, judge that whether the dynamic image in the operating portion 13 being reproduced the functional unit that finishes usefulness operates.
When the result of determination among the step S67 is when not carrying out dynamic image reproduction shut-down operation, to return step S55, proceed dynamic image and reproduce.On the other hand, the result of determination in step S67 is when having carried out dynamic image reproduction shut-down operation, to judge whether have power supply opening operation (S69).Here, judge according to 1 power knob whether having operated in the operating portion 13.In its result of determination is when not carrying out the power supply opening operation, to return step S53, carries out above-mentioned action.
As discussed above; In an execution mode of the present invention and variation; Display control unit 11a has carried out in dynamic image is taken under the situation that still image takes (S9 → be); Specified time limit after still image is taken, the parts of images that will from the still image of taking, be extracted by the parts of images extraction 11d of portion is overlapping to be shown on the position of live view image at the part place that the shooting at still image extracts constantly (S11).Therefore, can show still image with form with dynamic image combination, thus the still image in dynamic image, taken of flexible Application more.In addition, owing on the position in the moment that the still image parts of images is taken, be shown in the dynamic image live view, keep watch on and just can confirm that the record of still image browses so need not interrupt dynamic image.
In addition; In an execution mode of the present invention and variation; When reproducing demonstration, the reproduction of the dynamic image of reading from image storage part 24, by the right moment for camera (S57 → be) of still image; A part of image of the still image that will in dynamic image is taken, take is that overlapping being shown in the shooting of still image of parts of images constantly on the position of the dynamic image picture at parts of images place, is shown to (S59, S61) on the display part 19.Therefore, need not to separate dynamic image and reproduce and the still image reproduction, can make up demonstration.
In addition; In one embodiment of the present invention; When the shooting of dynamic image; From still image, extract parts of images, and in step S30, will arrive image storage part 24 with a succession of information stores that the position/opportunity of overlapping display part image and the brightness of reduction etc. are relevant on dynamic image.Like this, a succession of information of utilizing when reproducing through being recorded in can alleviate the processing burden when reproducing.But,,, when reproducing, carry out calculation process according to the view data of dynamic image so certainly in this step S30, omit a series of information record because the burden of the camera when taking becomes heavy.In addition, though brightness is faded out in the display part during image, the variation as showing also can change to black and white image from coloured image gradually, and contrast is reduced gradually.
In addition, because the control and treatment in an embodiment of the present invention is make that control part 11 read routine data store 12 are stored controls with program and carry out, so the control relevant with such software processes also belongs to the present invention with program.In addition, in this execution mode, having utilized software processes that each control and treatment has been described, but be not limited only to this, can perhaps only be the processing of hardware with software processes and hardware handles combination.
In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, be illustrated in camera, using example of the present invention, but also can be applied to the display unit of in image storage part, storing the view data of dynamic image and still image.In the case, can be employed in computer or the TV etc. of the view data that stores dynamic image and still image on the recording medium as display unit.
In addition; In one embodiment of the present invention; Adopting digital camera to be illustrated as the equipment that is used to take, but both can be that digital single-lens reflex camera also can be pocket digital camera as camera, can also be that video camera, the such dynamic image of video camera are used camera; In addition, be built in mobile phone, portable information terminal (PDA:Personal Digital Assist: personal digital assistant) and the camera in the game station etc. also passable.
The present invention is not limited only to above-mentioned execution mode, the implementation phase can in the scope that does not break away from its purport, make inscape distortion and specialize.In addition, through the disclosed a plurality of inscapes of the above-mentioned execution mode of appropriate combination, can form various inventions.For example, can delete several inscapes of the whole inscapes shown in the execution mode.In addition, but the inscape in the different execution modes of appropriate combination.
