  The communication unit 44 is attached to the digital camera 4 via a connector (not shown). The communication unit 44 performs communication processing with the exhibit lighting device 3 under the control of the CPU 30. The memory card 46 is mounted in a card slot (not shown) of the digital camera 4. The memory card 46 stores image data of moving images and still images created based on the imaging signal.

  Next, shooting of exhibits using the shooting system according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing processing by the photographing system according to the embodiment. When the user turns on the power switch of the digital camera 4 to shoot the exhibits in the museum, the CPU 30 of the digital camera 4 displays a through image based on the imaging signal from the imaging element 32 on the display unit 36 ( Step S1).

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the user points the digital camera 4 toward an exhibit that is a subject, the exhibit that is the subject is displayed as a through image as shown in FIG. When confirming that the angle of view of the through image is not changed for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second), the CPU 30 executes position specifying processing (step S2). FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the position specifying process. CPU30 acquires the positional information output from GPS unit 40, and memorize | stores it in the memory 42 (step S20). The CPU 30 detects the shooting direction of the digital camera 4 based on the direction information output from the electronic compass 38, and stores the direction information in the memory 42 (step S21). This completes the position specifying process.

  When the position specifying process is completed, the CPU 30 reads the position information and the direction information from the memory 42, and transmits the subject information including the position information, the direction information, and the image data of the through image displayed by the display unit 36 to the communication unit. It transmits to the exhibit lighting apparatus 3 via 44 (step S3). The host computer 20 of the exhibit lighting apparatus 3 receives subject information via the communication device 22 (step SA1). The host computer 20 searches the exhibit information stored in the file server 28 based on the received position information and orientation information of the subject information, and the through image, and identifies the exhibit information of the exhibit that is the subject. (Step SA2).

  Specifically, the host computer 20 first searches the location information of the exhibit information stored in the file server 28 based on the location information and the orientation information, and specifies the exhibit information of the exhibit in front of the digital camera 4. To do. When there are a plurality of exhibit information specified here, the host computer 20 compares the received image data of the through image with the image data of each specified exhibit information, Exhibit information having image data of the same exhibit is specified.

  Based on the exhibit number of the identified exhibit information, the host computer 20 stores the light source information including the illumination number associated with the exhibit number, that is, the light source information of the illumination unit 26 that illuminates the exhibit that is the subject. Read from 28. The host computer 20 controls the illumination controller 24 based on the illumination number and the optimum setting value of the read light source information so that the illumination unit 26 with the corresponding illumination number has the optimum brightness and color temperature for photographing. The illumination light of the illumination unit 26 is adjusted (step SA3). In other words, the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 that illuminates the exhibit, which is the subject, is adjusted so that the brightness and color temperature are optimal when shooting.

  In addition, the host computer 20 reads out the comment data and shooting conditions of the specified exhibit information from the file server 28. Then, the host computer 20 controls the communication device 22 and transmits the comment data and the shooting conditions to the digital camera 4 (step SA4).

  The CPU 30 of the digital camera 4 receives commentary data and shooting conditions from the host computer 20 (step S4). The CPU 30 stores the comment data and the shooting conditions in the memory 42, and adjusts the white balance and the exposure value based on the received shooting conditions (step S5). The CPU 30 has an input field for inputting an illumination setting value composed of a message that the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 that illuminates the subject can be changed according to the user's preference, and the brightness and color temperature in the illumination unit 26; An illumination change screen in which a change key for changing the illumination light according to the illumination setting value input in the input field and a cancel key for canceling the input to the input field are displayed on the display unit 36 (step S6).

  On the lighting change screen, a cursor indicating the input target is displayed. When the user presses the left and right buttons of the cross key, the cursor moves to any of the brightness and color temperature input fields, the change key, and the cancel key. . For example, when the user presses the up button of the cross key while the cursor is moved to the brightness input field, the brightness setting value of the brightness displayed in the input field increases. When the user presses the down button, the illumination setting value for the brightness displayed in the input field decreases. The same applies to the lighting setting value of the color temperature. When the user presses the upper button while the cursor is moved to the color temperature input field, the lighting setting value of the color temperature displayed in the input field increases, and the lower button When pressed, the illumination setting value of the color temperature displayed in the input field decreases. Thereby, the user increases or decreases the illumination setting values of brightness and color temperature. Then, the user presses the left and right buttons, moves the cursor to the change key, presses the OK button of the operation unit 34, and inputs the change key.

  The CPU 30 determines whether or not the user has input a change key (step S7). When the CPU 30 determines that the change key has been input (step S7, Yes), it transmits an illumination change notification attached with the illumination setting value input in the input field to the host computer 20 (step S8).

  The host computer 20 receives the illumination change notification from the digital camera 4 (step SA5). The host computer 20 controls the illumination controller 24 based on the illumination setting value of the illumination change notification to change the brightness and color temperature of the illumination unit 26 (step SA6). That is, the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 that illuminates the exhibit that is the subject is changed based on the illumination setting value input by the user.

  The CPU 30 displays a change screen display key for displaying the illumination change screen and an explanation process key for shifting to the explanation display process on the display unit 36, and determines whether or not the explanation process key has been input (step S9). When the CPU 30 determines that the comment processing key is not input and the change screen display key is input (No in step S9), the CPU 30 returns to step S6 to display the illumination change screen on the display unit 36.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 30 determines that the comment process key has been input (step S9, Yes), the process proceeds to step S10. When the CPU 30 determines that the cancel key on the illumination change screen has been input (No at Step S7), the CPU 30 proceeds to Step S10. After determining that the cancel key has been input in step S7 or determining that the comment processing key has been input in step S9, the CPU 30 performs comment display processing for displaying a comment on the exhibit on the display unit 36. (Step S10).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the explanation display process. The CPU 30 causes the display unit 36 to display a message asking whether or not to display a comment on the exhibit and a comment presence / absence screen on which a “Yes” key and a “No” key are arranged (Step S30). The CPU 30 determines whether or not the “yes” key has been input by the user (step S31). If it is determined in step S31 that the “Yes” key has been input (step S31, Yes), the CPU 30 reads the comment data from the memory 42 (step S32).

  The CPU 30 indicates an instruction line indicating each feature portion of the exhibit that overlaps the exhibit displayed as a through image based on the read explanation data, a short description regarding each feature portion indicated by each instruction line, a name of the exhibit, and the like In addition to the through image, a simple explanation about the exhibit is displayed on the display unit 36 (step S33).

  Here, FIG. 8 is a view showing a through image on which a brief explanation of the exhibit is displayed. As shown in FIG. 8, when the exhibit is a golden mask, the through image includes “Golden mask found at the ruins of XX culture” as the name of the exhibit, an instruction line pointing to the head of the exhibit “Jade decoration” as a short description of the head, an instruction line pointing to the eye part of the exhibit and “xx eye” as a short description of the eye part, an instruction line pointing to the face part of the exhibit and the face part As a short explanation, “colored in red” is displayed.

  Next, the CPU 30 displays a message asking whether or not to display a detailed description text on the through image, a “detail display” key for displaying the description text, and a “cancel” key for not displaying the description text. It is determined whether or not the “detail display” key has been input (step S34). When the CPU 30 determines that the “detail display” key has been inputted (step S34, Yes), the CPU 30 reads the comment data from the memory 42, and based on the character data of the comment text of the comment data, the above simple comment and detailed information are read. The through image with the commentary added is displayed on the display unit 36 (step S35). This completes the comment display process.

  Here, FIG. 9 is a view showing a through image on which a detailed explanation is displayed. When the exhibit is the same as the exhibit shown in FIG. 8, a through image with a detailed commentary is “as of the eleventh century, as a detailed commentary as shown in FIG. It was attached to the burial face of the temple tomb that was excavated in 1987. It is characterized by a raised eye called “XX Eye”. It is gorgeously decorated with jade and the face is painted red with vermilion. "Is added to the through image shown in FIG.

  When the “No” key is input in step S31 (step S31, No), the CPU 30 ends the comment display process without adding a simple comment and a detailed comment based on the comment data to the through image. Further, when the “cancel” key is input in step S34 (step S34, No), the CPU 30 erases the message asking whether or not to display the detailed explanation text, the “detail display” key, and the “cancel” key. Then, the comment display process is terminated while the through image on which the simple comment shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 36.

  Whether the CPU 30 shoots a still image in which a simple explanation or a detailed explanation is displayed when the menu button is pressed in a state where a simple explanation or a detailed explanation is displayed on the through image. A setting screen for setting is displayed on the display unit 36. At this time, the user selects and inputs whether or not to include a simple commentary or a detailed commentary by operating the cross key and the OK button of the operation unit 34. When an input indicating inclusion is made, the CPU 30 sets a commentary image photographing mode for photographing a still image including a simple commentary or a detailed commentary.

  Then, in response to the user pressing the release button 10, the CPU 30 performs a photographing process for generating image data of a still image and storing it in the memory card 46 (step S11). Specifically, if the CPU 30 performs a shooting process in a state where a simple explanation is displayed on the through image, the instruction line indicating each feature part of the exhibit, a short description of each feature part, and the name of the exhibit are shown. Image data of a still image is generated.

  In addition, when the photographing process is performed in a state where a detailed comment is displayed on the through image, the CPU 30 indicates an instruction line indicating each feature portion of the exhibit, a short description of each feature portion, the name of the exhibit, the exhibit The image data of the still image in which the detailed commentary of is shown is generated. When the release button 10 is pressed without setting the explanation image shooting mode, the CPU 30 generates image data of a still image based on the imaging signal from the imaging element 32. That is, the CPU 30 generates image data of a still image that does not include an instruction line indicating each feature portion of the exhibit, a short description of each feature portion, a name of the exhibit, a commentary regarding the exhibit, and the like.

  According to the present embodiment, the host computer identifies an exhibit that is a subject to be photographed by the digital camera 4, adjusts the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 that illuminates the exhibit, and sets the photographing condition to the digital camera 4. Send to. Therefore, the digital camera 4 can set shooting conditions that are optimal for shooting. Further, by adjusting the illumination light, the image taken by the digital camera 4 becomes an image in which the exhibit is clearly shown.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the host computer 20 can accurately specify the exhibit based on the photographing direction received from the digital camera 4, the position information, and the through image. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the host computer 20 from adjusting the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 that illuminates an exhibit different from the exhibit that is the subject.

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, since the communication unit 44 can be attached or detached, the communication unit 44 may be lent out on the facility side. In this way, a user who does not have the communication unit 44 can rent the communication unit 44 in an environment in which the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 is adjusted and the white balance and exposure value of the digital camera 4 are adjusted. The exhibits can be photographed, improving convenience. Further, the brightness and color temperature of the illumination unit 26 can be changed via the illumination change screen until the comment display process is started. Therefore, since the brightness and color temperature of the illumination unit 26 can be changed repeatedly until the desired brightness and color temperature are achieved, the convenience is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the user can operate the digital camera 4 to change the setting values of the brightness and color temperature of the illumination unit 26. However, when a plurality of digital cameras 4 transmit an illumination change notification for changing the illumination light of the specific illumination unit 26 at the same time, and the host computer 20 changes the illumination light according to the content of each illumination change notification each time. For each user, it is impossible to change to the desired illumination light. Therefore, when the illumination light of one illumination unit 26 is changed, the host computer 20 does not change the illumination light of the illumination unit 26 for a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes), for example.

  In addition, an earphone may be connected to the digital camera 4 and sound based on audio data related to the exhibit may be output from the earphone. In this case, the file server 28 stores in advance audio data describing the exhibit in association with each exhibit number.
