Description

  The present invention relates to a digital camera and a display control device for setting setting values of setting items.

  When using a digital camera such as a video camera or a digital still camera, in order to change various settings of the camera, it is common to switch to a setting menu screen and change the various settings.

  In addition, there are items that you want to change settings while checking the video to be shot and played back, for example, lens focus adjustment and exposure compensation, etc. Several examples of various settings in the form have been proposed.

In Patent Document 1, setting values of a plurality of setting items, for example, setting items such as focus adjustment and exposure correction setting are displayed side by side at the lower end of the screen. When the operator wants to change the setting value of the setting item, select the setting item with the left and right buttons and press the enter button. When you press the OK button, the setting values of the setting items selected in the pull-up menu format are listed up and down. Select the setting value with the UP and DOWN buttons from the list of options, and press the ENTER button again to set Is changed, the setting value enumeration display disappears and only the setting items are displayed.
JP 2008-72491 A

  In the above prior art, various setting values can be changed in a state where the video is used as a background without moving to the dedicated menu screen.

  However, in the above prior art, it is possible to change various setting values with the background of the image. However, when changing the setting value of the setting item, a list of setting items and the selected setting item are displayed. A list of setting values is displayed simultaneously. Therefore, most of the screen is used for changing the set value. In particular, when there are a large number of setting items and setting values that can be set, there is a problem that the main area of the screen is hidden, making it difficult to check the video. Also, since the video is hidden, it is difficult to confirm the effect of the setting change.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display control apparatus capable of changing a set value while ensuring an area where a background image being displayed can be sufficiently confirmed. To do.

  In order to solve the above problem, the digital camera of the present invention includes a photographing unit for photographing a subject, a display unit for displaying an image photographed by the photographing unit, and a setting for setting photographing conditions. A control unit that superimposes an item on an image and displays it on a display unit, and an operation member for accepting an operation from a user. The control unit has a plurality of settings according to an operation for switching a display state from the user. It is possible to switch between a first display state in which items are simultaneously displayed, a second display state in which one of a plurality of setting items is displayed, and a third display state in which no setting items are displayed. To do.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when a setting item is displayed superimposed on an image, the setting item can be displayed without hiding the image as much as possible by switching the display mode of the setting item. It becomes.

(First embodiment)
In the first embodiment, a video camera will be described as an example of the digital camera of the present invention.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a video camera that executes display control according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The video camera includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103, a display unit 104, an input unit 105, a recording unit 106, and an imaging unit 107. These are kept in the internal bus 111.

  The CPU 101 is an arithmetic processing unit that controls the operation of the video camera. The ROM 102 stores operation processing procedures of the CPU 101 (for example, a video camera startup process, a basic input / output process, and a program for executing each process described later). The RAM 103 is used as a work area for the CPU 101. The CPU 101 reads a program from the ROM 102 and controls arithmetic processing and each unit of 104 to 107. The display unit 104 is a display unit for displaying an image being captured by the image capturing unit 107, an image recorded on the recording medium 108 by the recording unit 106, and a graphic user interface. Display items such as items are also displayed.

  The input unit 105 is an input unit for receiving an instruction from the user, and is provided with a hard key serving as an operation member. The video camera of the present embodiment is provided with a total of five buttons as the input unit 105, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the up / down / left / right and enter buttons are used as the input unit. It may be a type of pressing straight. Further, it may be a software key superimposed on the display unit 104 using a touch panel or the like, or a user instruction may be input from an external device such as a remote controller. The user can operate the video camera by using the input unit 105. Further, the CPU 101 detects an input to the input unit 105. When an instruction from the user is received via the input unit 105, the CPU 101 performs display control for switching the display of the display unit 104 according to the user's instruction. Perform operations and processes according to the instructions. The recording unit 106 records and reads image data on a recording medium 108 such as a flash memory, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or a magneto-optical disk. The imaging unit 107 includes a lens, a sensor, a signal processing unit, and the like for capturing a subject and generating an image signal. The image signal generated by the imaging unit is displayed on the display unit 104 and recorded on the recording medium 108 by the recording unit 106 according to an instruction from the CPU 101. In the display unit, the image generated by the imaging unit can be displayed as a moving image or a still image. In addition, there are imaging parameters that can be set by a user operation when imaging is performed by the imaging unit, and can be set on a shooting condition setting screen described later.

  The video data recorded on the recording medium 108 is reproduced under the control of the CPU 101 and displayed on the display unit 104 in accordance with an image reproduction instruction from the user.

  The operation flow of the video camera when shooting a moving image will be described below.

  When shooting a movie, there are cases where the image settings are all automatically recorded as programmed in the video camera, and cases where the user sets and changes setting items according to the situation during shooting. is there.

  Items that can be set include setting items for shooting conditions such as exposure compensation, focus adjustment, turning on / off the built-in video light (illumination), turning on / off backlight compensation, and microphone adjustment.

  In the video camera of this embodiment, setting items for setting shooting conditions are displayed superimposed on the image being shot. Then, there are three display states of a setting item display state, a list display state, an item display state, and an item non-display state. These display states can be switched and used.

A display screen for setting shooting conditions will be described with reference to FIG.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a list display state in which a plurality of setting items are displayed vertically.
Reference numeral 12 denotes a one-item display state in which only one item in the list display state 11 is displayed.
Reference numeral 13 denotes an item non-display state, and a setting item is not displayed.
On the screen of the display state of these three setting items, the setting items are displayed superimposed on the image being shot.

  If the upper button (lower button, left / right button, or enter button) may be pressed while the item is not displayed, the screen is switched to a list display state, and a plurality of setting items are displayed as a list. In the list display state, the selected setting item among the setting items displayed in the list is moved up and down in response to pressing of the up / down button. When the lower button is further pressed while the bottom item in the list is selected, the item is switched to the non-display state. Also, when an operation for setting shooting conditions is not performed for 2 seconds or longer during the list display state, the display mode is switched to the one-item display state. When the upper button is pressed during the one-item display state, the list is switched to the list display state. When the lower button is pressed during the one-item display state, the item is switched to the non-display state.

  At the time of moving image shooting, such setting items for setting shooting conditions are displayed superimposed on an image shot by the imaging unit 107. Since these three display states are switched in accordance with a user operation, it is possible to prevent the confirmation of the captured image from being hindered. In particular, since a plurality of setting items are displayed on the list display screen and the captured image is hidden, if an operation for setting shooting conditions is not input for a certain period of time, the display automatically switches to the one item display state and the captured image is displayed. We are trying to make sure of it.

  In addition, when shooting is started, it starts from an item non-display state in which the captured image is difficult to hide, and if the user wants to change the shooting condition, the user can set the shooting trade area by switching to the list display state or the one item display state. I have to.

  The operation flow and display screen in each display state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 and 7 to 9. The flow in FIGS. 2 to 4 is executed by controlling and calculating each part of the video camera based on a program read from the ROM 102 by the CPU 101.

  The item non-display state 13 will be described.

  In the item non-display state 13, as shown in FIG. 9, no setting items for setting shooting conditions are displayed, and an icon 901 is displayed. Reference numeral 901 denotes an upward triangle icon representing an up button, which is an icon for indicating that a shooting condition setting item is displayed by pressing the up button. In addition, a display such as 902 is performed together with the icon 901, and the display is made so that the user can be more informed that the setting item of the shooting condition is hidden while the item is not displayed. In the present embodiment, icons and the like are displayed as shown in FIG. 9, but nothing may be displayed.

  The operation flow in the item non-display state 13 will be described with reference to FIG.

  During the item non-display state 13, the input to the input unit 105 is monitored, and the display state is switched according to the input to the input unit.

  When the up button is pressed during the item non-display state 13 (step S401), the setting item display state of the display unit 104 is switched from the item non-display state to the list display state, and the setting items are listed. It is displayed (step S404).

  Further, when not only the up button but also the down, left, right, and enter buttons are pressed, the item non-display state may be switched to the list display state. In this case, it is detected in S402 and S403 that the left / right button has been pressed or the determination button has been pressed, and the display is switched to the list display state in response to the pressing of the left / right button or the determination button.

  In addition, when switching to the list display state, the setting item that is initially selected at the time of switching is the setting item that was previously changed or the setting that was previously selected in the list display state or the one item display state. The item is recorded, and the setting item is selected and displayed.

  The list display state 11 will be described.

  In the list display state, as shown in FIG. 7A, a plurality of setting items (701 to 705) are displayed in a vertically enumerated list. One of them (702 in FIG. 7) is displayed in a state where the cursor is placed, and indicates that the setting item is currently selected. The selected setting item is surrounded by a cursor frame and is displayed in a color or shape different from other setting items. In addition, for each setting item (701 to 705), the type of the setting item and the current setting value are displayed as characters or icons.

  The operation flow in the list display state 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  It is detected whether the up / down button is operated during the list display state 11 as shown in FIG. 7A (step S201). If it is determined in step S201 that the up button has been pressed, it is determined whether the currently selected setting item is the top row in the list (step S206). If the selected item is the top row, the cursor is moved to the upper item and the selected item is changed (step S207). If it is not the top row, the selection item is not changed and the process returns to S201.

  If it is determined in S201 that the down button has been pressed, it is determined whether the currently selected setting item is at the bottom of the list (step S208). If the selected item is not the lowest level, the cursor is moved to the lower item and the selected item is changed (step S209). If it is the lowest level, the list display state is stopped, and the display is switched to the item non-display state 13 as shown in FIG. 9 (step S210).

When it is detected that the left and right buttons are operated during the list display (S205), the setting value of the selected item can be changed. For example, if the setting item “Backlight Compensation” is selected, you can switch the backlight compensation on and off.
When the setting item is “focus adjustment”, it is possible to switch between auto focus and manual focus. In the focus adjustment, when manual focus is set, the display is as shown in FIG. 7B, and the focal length can be moved back and forth by operating the left and right buttons. In this display, left and right triangle icons 709 and 710 are displayed together with icons 707 and 708 representing the perspective (in this case, far: mountain, close: person icon), and the left and right buttons are pressed (step S303) This shows that the focal length can be moved back and forth. When the left and right buttons are operated, it is determined whether the setting value of the selection item can be changed (S211). If it is determined that the setting value can be changed, the setting value is changed (S212). Then, the setting value displayed together with the setting item in the list of the list display is changed to the set setting value and displayed on the display screen (S213). At this time, the display of the setting value is also changed. However, if the imaging parameter changes due to the change of the setting value and the captured image is affected, the image displayed on the display unit also corresponds to the change of the setting value. To change.

  Further, the setting value may be changed not only by the operation of the left and right buttons but also by the operation of the enter button. In this case, the set value may be switched when an operation on the enter button is detected (step S203). For example, when the setting item for focus setting is selected, auto focus and manual focus are switched alternately by pressing the enter button, and the left and right buttons are used for setting the focal length for manual focus to move back and forth. The

  In step S204, if the left / right / up / down button and the enter button are not operated for a certain period of time (for example, 2 seconds), the mode is switched to the one-item display state 12 (step S205). In this case, one item selected in the list display state is displayed in the one item display state.

  Thus, in the list display state, setting items can be selected and setting values can be changed. After setting, it is possible to switch to the one-item display state by pressing the down button to move to the lowest level and further pressing the down button. Even if such an operation is not performed, if no operation is performed for 2 seconds in the list display state, the display mode is automatically switched to the one-item display state, so that the display screen can be used effectively. In addition, when no operation is performed, an item is not displayed, but a single item display state in which only the selected setting item is displayed is displayed. Therefore, even when the operation is automatically switched after a delay, The set value can be changed.

  Next, the one-item display state 12 will be described.

  In the one item display state, one setting item 801 is displayed as shown in FIG. When the list display state is switched to the one item display state, the item selected in the list display state is displayed. When the item non-display state is switched to the one-item display state, the setting item selected in the display state before the item non-display state, that is, the setting item selected in the previous list display state or The setting item displayed in the previous one item display state is displayed. In the one-item display state, as in the list display state, the selected setting item, that is, the displayed setting item, is surrounded by a cursor frame and displayed in a color or shape that is different from the other setting items. For this setting item, the type of the setting item and the current setting value may be displayed at the same time. By displaying the current setting value together, the user can easily determine whether the setting needs to be changed.

  An icon 802 indicates that the list display state is switched when the upper button is pressed, and an icon 803 indicates that the item is switched to the item non-display state when the lower button is pressed. In FIG. 8, reference numerals 802 and 803 are triangular icons, but an icon that explicitly indicates that the display state is switched when the button is pressed may be used.

  The operation flow in the one-item display state 12 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the one-item display state, the area for hiding the captured video displayed on the display unit 104 is smaller than that in the list display state 11, and confirmation of the photographed image and the effect on the image by changing the setting value are confirmed. It becomes easy.

  First, it is determined in step S301 whether the up / down button has been operated. If it is determined in step S301 that the upper button has been operated, the list display state is switched (step S304). At this time, the list display screen is displayed with the setting item displayed in the one-item display state selected. If it is determined in S301 that the down button has been operated, the item is switched to the non-display state (step S305).

  If it is determined in step S301 that the up / down button is not operated, it is determined in step S302 whether the left / right button is operated. If it is determined in step S302 that the left / right button has been operated, it is determined whether the setting value can be changed for the currently selected setting item, that is, the setting item displayed in the one-item display state ( Step S306). If it is determined that the set value cannot be changed, the process returns to step S301. If it is determined that the set value can be changed, the set value is changed (step S307), and the changed set value is reflected on the display (step S308). At this time, the display of the setting value is also changed. However, if the imaging parameter by the imaging unit changes due to the change of the setting value and the captured image is affected, the image displayed on the display unit also corresponds to the change of the setting value. The image becomes

  Further, it may be determined whether not only the left and right buttons but also the determination button is pressed (step S303), and a process of changing the setting value according to the pressing of the determination button may be performed.

  As described above, in the one-item display state, the upper button is pressed to switch to the list display state, and the lower button is pressed to switch to the item non-display state. Further, the setting value of the setting item being displayed can be changed by pressing the left / right button or the enter button. Therefore, in the one-item display state, it is possible to switch to a large number of states by one operation. In this embodiment, when no operation is performed for a predetermined period during the list display state, the screen is switched to a one-item display screen that can be switched to a large number of states by one operation. You may make it switch. When switching to the item non-display state when no operation is performed for a predetermined period during the list display state, the upper button is pressed in the item non-display state so that the display can be switched to the single item display state. When the button is pressed, the state is switched to the one item display state.

  The display when changing the setting value is not the display form as in the above-described embodiment. For example, the setting value that can be changed in the selected setting item in response to pressing of the determination button or the left / right button. May be displayed side by side on the left and right of the selection item. At this time, all changeable set values may be displayed side by side, or candidates to be changed by the next operation may be displayed. When a list of setting values is displayed in the list display state, many images displayed behind the setting items are hidden. Therefore, in the case of list display, a smaller number of setting value candidates are displayed than in the case of single item display, or a list of setting values is displayed at the time of list display even if setting value candidates or lists are displayed for one item. Or candidates may not be displayed.

(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the basic configuration and operation are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, when an operation for moving a setting item is not displayed for one second or more when displayed in a list display state, the display immediately switches to the one item display state. . The items displayed on the list display screen and the one-item display screen are also different from those in the first embodiment.

  The list display state will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 10, reference numeral 1001 denotes a state in which the focus adjustment setting item is selected on the list display state screen. 1002 is an exposure correction, 1003 is a microphone level adjustment, 1004 is a video light on / off setting, 1005 is a backlight correction on / off setting, and 1006 is a setting item for flash setting. In the list of setting items displayed in the list display state, each setting item displays a mark icon indicating the setting item and a currently set value. For the selected setting item, characters corresponding to the setting item are further displayed so that the user can know what setting item the selected setting item is. When characters are displayed for all setting items, a large area of the display screen is used, and an image displayed together with the setting items is hidden. Therefore, only the selected setting items are displayed.

  When the down button is pressed when focus adjustment is selected as in 1001, the exposure correction setting item 1002 is selected. When the down button is further pressed in this state, the microphone level adjustment is performed. Selected. That is, when the down button is pressed, the setting item displayed below is selected, and the cursor indicating the currently selected setting item moves down. When the lower button is further pressed in the flash setting, the item is switched to the non-display state. Also, in response to pressing of the up button, the setting item displayed above is selected, and the cursor moves up. By such an operation, the selection of the setting item can be changed. In response to the change in the selection of the setting item, the cursor moves, and the character display of the setting item selected with the movement of the cursor disappears, and the character of the newly selected setting item is displayed.

  When exposure compensation and microphone level adjustment are selected, a plus icon and a minus icon are further displayed on both sides of the setting item column. Further, when manual focus is selected in focus adjustment, icons indicating far and near are further displayed on both sides. This is because the setting values that can be set at the time of manual focus for exposure correction, microphone level adjustment, and focus adjustment are set values having the directionality set by the left and right buttons. In order to indicate to which of the left and right buttons the direction is assigned, such an icon is displayed only when the corresponding setting item is selected. Therefore, the setting value is changed by pressing the left / right button when exposure correction or microphone level adjustment is selected, and the setting value displayed in the setting item column changes. When the setting value for exposure correction is changed, it affects the captured image, so that the setting value can be changed while checking on the display screen.

  When the focus adjustment setting item is selected, the manual focus and auto focus settings can be changed by pressing the enter button as shown in FIG. When manual focus is selected, an icon indicating perspective is displayed as described above (1101), and the focus position can be set with the left and right buttons.

  When the setting items of the video light on / off setting and the backlight correction on / off setting are selected, the set value is switched from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON by operating the enter button. Also, when the flash setting item is selected, pressing the enter button will toggle the flash setting value in order, and the flash setting icon will change accordingly. An icon corresponding to the set value after the change is displayed. The video light on / off setting, backlight correction on / off setting, and flash setting value change may be changed not only by the enter button but also by operating the left and right buttons.

  In the present embodiment, during the list display state, it is determined whether an operation for selecting a setting item, that is, the up / down button has been pressed. Switch. Even if the operation for changing the setting value, that is, the left / right button or the enter button is pressed, the display is switched to the one-item display state if the up / down button is not pressed for 1 second or longer.

  While a setting item is being selected, it is easier to select the setting item if the setting item list is displayed. However, if the setting item selection has not been changed for more than 1 second, it is determined that the setting item has been selected. Switch to item display. In the one-item display state, the setting value can be changed in the same manner as in the list display state only when no other item is selected. Therefore, the setting value can be changed sufficiently even in the one-item display state. Furthermore, in order to confirm the influence of the setting change on the image, the one-item display state with a large area for confirming the captured image is better. Therefore, when the selection of the setting item is not changed for 1 second or longer, the state is automatically switched to the one item display state.

  In the present embodiment, when the selection of the setting item is changed for 1 second or more, it is switched to the 1 item display state. However, even if it is not 1 second, the user needs an operation for changing the setting item. If it is time.

  Further, not only when there is no operation for selecting a setting item for a predetermined time, but also when the operation for changing the setting value is performed, the display mode may be switched to the one item display state.
