【2nd embodiment】
As the 2nd embodiment of the present invention, the explanation such as Figure 13, Figure 14 is mainly used to use above-mentioned 1st embodiment party below
Background during performed particular image is processed in the case of camera 1 and accessory device 30 execution photographing actions in formula is removed
The details of " parts of images removing process " such as process, prospect removing process.
Figure 13 is carried out in the case where being photographed using the photographic equipment of the accessory device for being mounted with present embodiment
The schematic diagram of the situation of the background removing image procossing in particular image process.That is, Figure 13 is shown schematically in this enforcement
It is mounted with the camera 1 of mode in the state of accessory device 30, carries out comprising prospect subject 101 and background subject 102
Photography in the case of state.
Display mode when Figure 14 represents the background removing image procossing for carrying out Figure 13 on each display part.Wherein, Figure 14 A
Expression is shown in the display example on the 2nd display part, and Figure 14 B represent the display example of the 1st display part.Figure 14 C are envisioned Figure 14 A
Show schematic diagram when being piled up with the display of Figure 14 B.
In Figure 13, the photography field range of camera 1 is the scope by shown in angle of visual field D1 of camera lens 21.Now be based on by
Picture signal that camera 1 is obtained and the image that shows are as shown in Figure 14B.
In Figure 13, the photography field range of the camera section 35 of accessory device 30 is by shown in angle of visual field D2 of camera lens 35a
Scope.The image for now being showed based on the picture signal obtained by camera section 35 is as shown in Figure 14 A.
And in the case that Figure 14 B represent that the mode for envisioning to make datum line S consistent overlaps the image of Figure 14 A, Figure 14 B
Composograph.
Wherein, if the image of comparison diagram 14A and the image of Figure 14 B, understand the picture 102 of background subject 102(a、b)
Offset along the vertical direction as shown in Figure 14 C relative to the position of datum line S, the datum line S is freely set positioned at picture
The picture 101 of the prospect subject 101 of interior substantial middle part(a、b)On.

Now, focal adjustments focusing ring of user's operation setting on the phtographic lens unit 20 of camera 1, makes not
The part G of needs is in non-focusing state.Position and prospect for example when prospect subject in camera 1 is substantial access to
The distance between subject and background subject very sufficiently in the case of, even if prospect subject is in non-focusing state, also can
Background subject is maintained into focusing state.Thus just can the image that obtained by camera 1 with obtained by camera section 35
Difference is produced between image.
By being operated as above, process with above-mentioned background removing(Figure 14)Similarly to by 2 cameras(1、35)Take
The image for obtaining is compared process, just can as shown in Figure 14 A obtain the result eliminated after unwanted prospect subject.
In addition, being different from aforesaid operations example, if entering to exercise operation of the background subject in non-focusing state, can stay
Lower prospect subject, the removing for carrying out background subject is processed.
Further, it is also possible to for example shown in Fig. 9, the Figure 12 is switched by the operation of lens unit(b)C indexs position
Put.For example when focus is aligned into landscape, as long as then acquired 2 landscape images are overlapped, with the color of surrounding fill by
In the part that parallax causes to have differences.In addition, if focus is aligned into ear of maize, also can carry out manifesting the place of ear of maize
