After normal shooting is completed, the CPU 103 starts special shooting (step S213). FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the special photographing process.

  The CPU 103 displays a special shooting guide screen (not shown) on the front display 22, and then initially displays a moving image selection screen 210 shown in FIG. 10 (S2131). The moving image selection screen 210 includes an unprocessed subject image display area 211 and a plurality of processed subject image display areas 212. In the example of FIG. 10, the moving image selection screen 210 has eight processed subject image display areas 212. In the initial display, a mask image 213 is arranged in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and each processed subject image display area 212. Each mask image 213 is for hiding each of the subject images 214 and 215A to 215H (FIG. 11) arranged in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and each processed subject image display area 212. For example, a pose sample is provided. Or a monochrome image.

  The CPU 103 performs zoom setting of the camera 21 so as to obtain an angle of view corresponding to an image shot by special shooting. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that an up image is taken by special shooting, but a whole body image may be taken by special shooting. The CPU 103 changes the zoom setting of the camera 21 so that the angle of view corresponds to the up image. In addition, the imaging | photography of the user's image | video in the imaging | photography booth 2 by the camera 21 is performed continuously.

  The CPU 103 acquires live video captured by the camera 21 as subject image data at predetermined intervals (step S2132).

  The CPU 103 performs pre-processing on the acquired subject image (step S2133). The pre-processing is common processing performed before processing for all processed subject images generated in step S2134 described later. The preliminary processing in step S2133 and the processed subject image generation processing in step S2134 may be performed on all the subject images acquired in step S2132, or a part extracted at a predetermined interval from all the acquired subject images. May be performed only on the subject image.

  The CPU 103 reads preprocessing information from the HDD 104 and performs preprocessing based on this information. In the present embodiment, the rotation processing for correcting the tilt of the subject image due to the tilt of the camera 21, the trimming processing for extracting the range to be displayed on the front display 22, and the screen size of the front display 22 are adjusted for the subject image. The resize process, the chroma key process for making the portion of the back panel 24 that appears behind the user transparent, the tone curve process for correcting the color of the entire subject image, the left / right reversal process, and the like are performed as pre-processes. The CPU 103 also performs mesh processing for dividing the subject image into polygons and editing the vertex positions of the polygons as necessary. The mesh processing is used, for example, in order to lengthen the user's foot in the subject image when the whole body image is shot by special shooting. Note that the order of the processes listed above can be changed as appropriate, and it is not necessary to perform all the processes listed above in the preliminary process. Furthermore, processes other than the processes listed above may be performed as preliminary processes.

  Next, the CPU 103 performs a plurality of types of processing on the one pre-processed subject image generated in step S2133, and generates a plurality of processed subject images that have been processed differently from each other (step S2134). In the present embodiment, color correction, that is, at least one of hue correction, saturation correction, and brightness correction is performed on the pre-processed subject image.

  Specifically, the CPU 103 reads processing information indicating a plurality of types of processing applied to the preprocessed subject image from the HDD 104. Each processing information includes information indicating the background image and frame image combined with the subject image, saturation correction, contrast correction, brightness correction, color balance adjustment (hue correction), tone curve adjustment (tone correction) Such correction information is included.

  For each piece of processing information that has been read, the CPU 103 performs processing according to the processing information on the pre-processed subject image. That is, the CPU 103 combines the background image with the pre-processed subject image according to each processing information, and then performs corrections such as saturation correction, contrast correction, brightness correction, color balance adjustment, tone curve adjustment, and the like. After that, the frame image is synthesized. Thereby, a plurality of processed subject images that have been processed differently from one subject image acquired from the camera 21 are generated. In the present embodiment, the CPU 103 generates eight types of processed subject images.

  The background image or frame image synthesis or various corrections performed for each piece of processing information may be performed twice or more on the pre-processed subject image, or the order in which the processing is performed may be changed. Also, some of these processes can be omitted as necessary. Furthermore, processes other than those listed above may be performed on the pre-processed subject image.

  In addition, the CPU 103 synthesizes a background image with the preprocessed subject image, and generates a raw subject image by performing saturation correction, contrast correction, brightness correction, and the like as necessary. The unprocessed subject image is a subject image that has not been subjected to color balance or tone curve adjustment and receives an impression visually close to the subject image acquired from the camera 21.

  The CPU 103 arranges the raw subject image 214 in the raw subject image display area 211 and arranges the processed subject images 215A to 215H in the processed subject image display areas 212 (FIG. 11). However, at this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the mask image 213 is placed on the subject images 214 and 215 </ b> A to 215 </ b> H arranged in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and the processed subject image display areas 212. Has been placed. Accordingly, the subject images 214 and 215A to 215H are not displayed on the moving image selection screen 210. The unprocessed subject image 214 arranged in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H arranged in the processed subject image display area 212 are respectively the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and the unprocessed subject image display area 211. The image size is changed (reduced) in accordance with each processed subject image display area 212.

  The subject image acquisition process in step S2132, the preliminary process in step S2133, and the processed subject image generation process in step S2134 are performed in real time. That is, the subject image acquisition process in step S2132, the preliminary process in step S2133, and the processed subject image generation process in step S2134 are repeatedly performed, and the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and each processed subject image display area 212 are displayed. The subject images 214 and 215A to 215H are constantly updated.

  Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the moving image selection screen 210 was initially displayed (step S2135).

  If a predetermined time has elapsed after the initial display of the moving image selection screen 210 (Yes in step S2135), the CPU 103 displays each mask image 213 in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and each processed subject image display area 212. You want to hide. Thus, the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H are displayed in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and the processed subject image display areas 212 (step S2136). As described above, the CPU 103 generates a raw subject image and each processed subject image in real time, and always generates the subject images 214 and 215A to 215H in the raw subject image display area 211 and each processed subject image display area 212. It has been updated. Therefore, when the mask image 213 is hidden, the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H are displayed on the moving image selection screen 210 as moving images in real time.

  Note that “displaying a plurality of processed subject images on the screen in real time” in the present invention is not only to generate processed subject images for all subject images acquired from the camera 21 and display them as moving images, It is a concept that includes extracting a part from all acquired subject images, processing only the extracted subject images into processed subject images, and displaying them as moving images. For example, the subject image data captured from the camera 21 at intervals of 30 frames / second or the like may be processed every one or more subject image data. In addition, the “real time” of the present invention does not mean that the timing for acquiring the subject image and the timing for generating and displaying the processed subject image are exactly the same. Even in the case where a delay occurs in the generation and / or display of the processed subject image due to the ability or the like, it belongs to the “real time” category of the present invention.

  The CPU 103 determines the name of the unprocessed subject image 214 and each processing according to the processing performed so that the user can easily understand the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H. The names of the processed subject images 215A to 215H may be displayed on the moving image selection screen 210. In the example of FIG. 11, “original” is used as the name of the unprocessed subject image 214, “vintage” is used as the name of the processed subject image 215A, “beauty” is used as the name of the processed subject image 215B, and the name of the processed subject image 215C is used. “Antique”, “Toy” as the name of the processed subject image 215D, “Sepia” as the name of the processed subject image 215E, “Latte” as the name of the processed subject image 215F, and “Cool” as the name of the processed subject image 215G "Monochrome" is displayed as the name of the processed subject image 215H.

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed after the initial display of the moving image selection screen 210 (No in step S2135), the CPU 103 causes each mask image in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and each processed subject image display area 212 to be displayed. The display of 213 is continued. Therefore, until the predetermined time has elapsed after the initial display of the moving image selection screen 210, the subject images 214 and 215A to 215H arranged in the unprocessed subject image display area 211 and the processed subject image display areas 212 are: It is covered with the mask image 213 and is not displayed.

  After the raw subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H are displayed, the user touches either the raw subject image 214 or the processed subject images 215A to 215H as moving images, A desired moving image can be selected. When the user selects the unprocessed subject image 214 or the processed subject images 215A to 215H (Yes in step S2137), the CPU 103 accepts the selection (step S2138).

  In the present embodiment, the up image is taken in the special shooting. However, when the whole body image is shot in the special shooting, the user stands at a position away from the front display 22 and takes the photo. It is preferable to take measures so that the processed subject image in a state where the user stands at a position away from the front display 22 is displayed on the front display 22 and a selection operation can be performed at that position. Such measures include, for example, a configuration in which a selection operation is received by a wireless operation or a gesture operation, a display that displays a screen similar to the moving image selection screen 210, a selection reception button, or the like is provided in the rear housing 20B. Can be mentioned.

  When receiving the selection of the unprocessed subject image 214 or the processed subject images 215A to 215H, the CPU 103 switches the display on the front display 22 from the moving image selection screen 210 to the photo shooting screen 220 shown in FIG. 13 (step S2139). In the present embodiment, the display switching process (step S2139) and the photography process (step S2140) will be described on the assumption that the “monochrome” processed subject image 215H has been selected. Note that, when the unprocessed subject image 214 and the other processed subject images 215A to 215G are selected, the same display switching process and photography process are performed.

  The CPU 103 does not display the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215G that are not selected from the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H displayed on the moving image selection screen 210. Switch to. The CPU 103 can apply various transitions when switching the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215G to non-display. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215G that have not been selected may be gradually reduced, or the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215G may be reduced. May be faded out or moved to the outside of the moving image selection screen 210. In FIG. 12, the specific depiction of the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215G is omitted, but the CPU 103 does not process until the moving image selection screen 210 is switched to the photography screen 220. The real-time generation and display of the subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215G are continued.

  The CPU 103 continuously displays the selected processed subject image 215H on the front display 22. As shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 103 displays the processed subject image 215H on the front display 22 in real time while gradually expanding the processed subject image 215H.

  The timing for starting the enlargement of the selected unprocessed subject image 214 or the processed subject images 215A to 215H is not particularly limited, but the user is made to recognize that the subject image (moving image) has been selected. It is preferable that it is after taking measures. For example, in the moving image selection screen 210 of FIG. 11, when a predetermined time elapses after the user touches the unprocessed subject image 214 or the processed subject images 215A to 215H, or the touch pen or the user's finger is unprocessed. The enlargement of the selected unprocessed subject image 214 or processed subject images 215A to 215H can be started when the subject image 214 or the processed subject images 215A to 215H are separated.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the photography screen 220 has a moving image display area 221, and a processed subject image 222 is displayed in the moving image display area 221. The processed subject image 222 in the moving image display area 221 is also generated in real time and displayed as a moving image. The processed subject image 222 is a subject image obtained by performing the same processing on the subject image acquired from the camera 21 as the processed subject image 215 </ b> H selected by the user. The size has been adjusted.

  The photography screen 220 includes a timer 223 that displays the remaining time until photography is performed. The timer 223 is displayed on the left and right of the moving image display area 221. The CPU 103 controls the camera 21 to take a picture once when the remaining time until the picture is taken becomes zero (step S2140). When the photograph is taken, the CPU 103 hides the processed subject image 222 and displays a preview (not shown) of the photographed photograph image in the moving image display area 221. In the following description, a photographic image taken by special shooting is referred to as a special image.

  The CPU 103 stores the special image data in the memory 105. Further, the CPU 103 stores information indicating the processing applied to the processed subject image 215H selected by the user in the memory 105.

  Returning to FIG. 8, the description of the photographing process will be continued. After the special shooting is finished, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is free (step S214). If the editing booth 4 is not empty (No in step S214), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) that prompts the user to wait on the front display 22 (step S215). If the editing booth 4 is vacant (Yes in step S214), the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the editing booth 4 (step S216). Note that the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 450 to output sound for guiding the user to the editing booth 4 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.3. Photo image generation / editing process>
Next, the photographic image generation / editing process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of photographic image generation / editing processing.

  The CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 (see FIG. 4) to display a standby screen (not shown) waiting for the user to move from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 (step S311).

  When a user who has moved from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 touches the standby screen with the touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4), the CPU 103 selects a screen size for selecting the eye size and image brightness at the time of finishing (illustrated). (Omitted) is displayed on the editing display 411, and selection by the user is accepted (step S312).

  The CPU 103 performs image processing corresponding to the size and brightness of the eyes selected in step S312 on each up image and each whole body image captured in step S212 and the special image captured in step S213. Then, trimming processing is performed so as to obtain a predetermined image size (step S313). For example, the up image and the special image are trimmed to a predetermined image size in which the aspect ratio of the image is 1.2: 1, and the whole body image is longer than the up image, for example, the aspect ratio is 16: 9. The image is trimmed to a predetermined image size.

  As a result, four photographic images based on the up image (hereinafter referred to as up photographic image), two photographic images based on the whole body image (hereinafter referred to as full body photographic image), and a special image are obtained. A single photographic image (hereinafter referred to as a special photographic image) is generated (step S314).

  Note that the processing for generating a special photo image by performing image processing and trimming processing on the special image starts the processed photo image generation processing (step S317) after the graffiti processing (step S315) described below. May be done before

  Next, the CPU 103 displays an editing screen (not shown) on the editing display 411, and starts a graffiti process (editing process) (step S315).

  In the graffiti process, the user can perform a graffiti on the up photo image, the whole body photo image, and the special photo image generated in step S314. CPU103 produces | generates an edit image for every up photograph image and whole body photograph image based on the content which the user doodled.

  After the graffiti process is completed, the CPU 103 selects the background image selected in the background image selection process (step S116) and the edited image generated in the graffiti process (step S315) for each up-photo image and each whole-body photo image. And an up-synthesized image and a whole-body synthesized image are generated (step S316).

  Further, the CPU 103 reads information indicating the processing applied to the processed subject images 215A to 215H (the processed subject image 215H in this embodiment) selected by the user in step S218 from the memory 105. Based on the read information, the CPU 103 performs processing corresponding to the selected processed subject images 215A to 215H on the special photographic image to generate a processed photographic image (step S317). When the user selects the raw subject image 214 in step S218, the CPU 103 generates a raw photographic image corresponding to the raw subject image 214 based on the special photographic image.

  The processing applied to the processed and unprocessed photographic images generated in step S317 is visually applied to the processed subject images 215A to 215H and the unprocessed subject image 214 selected in step S218. It is almost the same as the processing. However, even if the same processing as the selected processed subject images 215A to 215H and the unprocessed subject image 214 is applied to the special photographic image because the conditions at the time of video shooting and the conditions at the time of shooting the photo are different, The selected processed subject images 215A to 215H or the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed photographic image or the unprocessed photographic image may not be visually the same. In this case, in step S317, the CPU 103 causes the special photograph so that the selected processed subject images 215A to 215H or the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed photograph image or the unprocessed photograph image are visually the same. The processing applied to the image may be adjusted.

  That is, “processing corresponding to the processed subject image” in the present invention means processing that can obtain an effect of visually receiving the same impression as the processed subject image. Similarly, “processing corresponding to an unprocessed subject image” means processing that provides an effect of receiving the same visual impression as the unprocessed subject image. In order to obtain such an effect, the parameters of image processing (processing) performed on the photographic image in order to generate the processed photographic image or the unprocessed photographic image are appropriately adjusted.

  Next, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout selection screen (not shown) on the editing display 411 and accepts selection of a sheet layout by the user (step S318).

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image for printing on the sticker sheet based on the sheet layout selected by the user (step S319). Specifically, in the selected sheet layout, the CPU 103 arranges the up-synthesized image generated in step S316 in the up-synthesized image area, and the whole-body synthesized image generated in step S316 in the whole-body synthesized image area. Are combined and a sheet image is generated.

  Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the subsequent customer service unit 5 is available (step S320). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is not available (No in step S320), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the editing display 411 (step S321). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is available (Yes in step S320), the CPU 103 transmits the sheet image generated in step S319 to the printer 650 and starts printing (step S322). Further, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a guide screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 (step S323). The CPU 103 may cause the speaker 413 to output a voice for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.4. Subsequent customer service>
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the subsequent customer service process.

  The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51. When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen with a finger, the CPU 103 starts an image transmission process (step S411). Further, the CPU 103 outputs sound necessary for operation to the speaker 53.

  When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 displays an image selection screen 410 shown in FIG. The image selection screen 410 displays the four up-synthesized images 411 and the two whole-body synthesized images 412 generated in step S314, and the processed photographic image 413 generated in step S317. When a raw photographic image is generated in step S317, the raw photographic image is displayed instead of the processed photographic image 413. In the graffiti process (step S315), when a photograph image obtained by normal shooting is edited for image transmission, the edited image 414 may be displayed on the image selection screen 410. The image selection screen 410 also displays an “OK” button 415 and a timer 416 indicating the remaining time for image selection. Note that the composite images 411 and 412, the processed photo image 413, the edited image 414, and “OK” are displayed on the right side and the left side of the image selection screen 410 so that the two users can operate each. "Button 415 is displayed.

  On the image selection screen 410, a message (not shown) for notifying that the processed photo image 415 is to be distributed free of charge, four up composite images 411 and two whole body composite images 412 displayed on the image selection screen 410 are displayed. A message (not shown) that prompts the user to select one of the images is displayed. When the user selects one of the four up composite images 411 and the two whole body composite images 412 and touches an “OK” button 415, an image to be transmitted to the user terminal device is selected. Accepted by the CPU 103.

  Next, the CPU 103 sends a notification e-mail describing the URL for acquiring the image selected by the user to the user, and therefore displays an input screen prompting the user to input an e-mail address on the reception display 51 (FIG. 4). Display). The user inputs and decides an e-mail address according to the guidance on the input screen.

  Subsequently, the CPU 103 transmits the mail address input by the user and information on each image to a server (not shown). In response to this, the server transmits a notification mail in which a URL for acquiring an image is described to the input mail address.

  The user obtains the processed photograph image generated based on the special shooting and the selected one up-composition image or whole-body composition image by accessing the URL described in the received notification mail. Can do. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the user accesses the URL of the notification mail using the terminal device 60 and acquires the processed photo image 61. In addition, the user can acquire all the up synthetic images and whole body synthetic images which were not selected by performing predetermined member registration.

  The image transmission process in step S411 is executed during the waiting time until the sheet image printing process in step S322 ends. When the printing process in step S322 ends, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker paper (photo sticker) on which the sheet image is printed from the photo sticker discharge port 52 (step S412). Up to here is a series of plays for a set of users.

  As described above, the photography amusement machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a plurality of processed subject images that are processed differently from one subject image acquired from the camera 21 before taking a photograph in the special shooting. 215A to 215H are generated and displayed on the moving image selection screen 210 as moving images in real time. For this reason, the user can confirm the processed subject images 215A to 215H before the special shooting is performed, and can specifically imagine the finish of the processed photographic image 61 acquired by the terminal device 60.

  In the present embodiment, when the user selects any of the processed subject images 215A to 215H on the moving image selection screen 210, the processed subject images 215A to 215H that were not selected are switched to non-display and selected. Only the processed subject images 215A to 215H are continuously displayed. For this reason, the user can clearly recognize the processed subject images 215A to 215H selected by the user.

  Further, the processed subject images 215 </ b> A to 215 </ b> H selected by the user are enlarged and displayed as the processed subject image 222 on the photography screen 220 until photography is performed. Therefore, the user can take a picture according to the atmosphere of the processed subject image 222 while checking the processed subject image 222.

  In the present embodiment, at least one of hue correction, saturation correction, and brightness correction is performed on one subject image acquired from the camera 21 to generate a plurality of processed subject images 215A to 215H. Yes. The processed subject images 215 </ b> A to 215 </ b> H generated in this way and the processed photographic images subjected to the processing corresponding thereto are high in design, and thus processed photographic images 61 acquired using the terminal device 60. It is possible to improve the satisfaction of the user.

  In the present embodiment, on the moving image selection screen 210, the processed subject images 215A to 215H are displayed together with an image (unprocessed subject image 214) in which the subject image acquired from the camera 21 is not subjected to predetermined processing. The When the unprocessed subject image 214 is selected on the moving image selection screen 210, an unprocessed photographic image corresponding to the unprocessed subject image 214 is generated. Therefore, when the user does not want to perform processing such as hue correction, saturation correction, and brightness correction on the photographed photograph image, the user can select the unprocessed subject image 214 on the moving image selection screen 210. It is possible to obtain a photographic image that has not been subjected to unnecessary processing for the user.

[Second Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The second embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in the photographing process (step S20) shown in FIG. Therefore, in the second embodiment, description will be made focusing on the photographing process.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart of imaging processing according to the second embodiment. The CPU 103 displays the shooting start screen similar to that in the first embodiment (step S211), and then performs the processed subject image selection process in step S512.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart of processed subject image display processing. The CPU 103 initially displays a moving image selection screen 510 as shown in FIG. 20 on the front display 22 (step S5121). The moving image selection screen 510 includes processed subject image display areas 511 and 512. Similar to the first embodiment, a mask image 513 is arranged in the processed subject image display areas 511 and 512 during initial display.

  The CPU 103 acquires a subject image from the camera 21 by the same method as step S2132 in the first embodiment (step S5122). Similar to the first embodiment, the subject image acquisition processing in step S5122, the preprocessing in step S5123, and the processed subject image generation processing in step S5124 are performed in real time.

  Next, the CPU 103 reads information indicating preprocessing from the HDD 104, and performs preprocessing on the acquired subject image based on this information (step S5123). In this embodiment, in addition to the rotation processing, trimming processing, resizing processing, chroma key processing, tone curve processing, left-right reversal processing, and the like similar to the pre-processing in the first embodiment, the background image and frame image are processed on the subject image. Composition processing, saturation correction, contrast correction, brightness correction, and the like are performed. When capturing a whole-body image in the photograph capturing process (step S513), a mesh process for lengthening the user's foot in the subject image may be performed.

  The CPU 103 reads a plurality of types of processing information indicating processing to be performed on the subject image from the HDD 104 and performs processing on the pre-processed subject image for each processing information. As a result, a plurality of processed subject images having been processed differently from one subject image acquired from the camera 21 are generated (step S5124). Specifically, the CPU 103 performs a plurality of types of trimming on the pre-processed subject image according to each angle of view of the camera 21 set in the later-described photography (step S513). The range of each trimming coincides with the range that appears in the photographic image generated in step S314 when the camera 21 captures each angle of view. Note that the CPU 103 does not adjust the angle of view (zoom setting) of the camera 21 while the processed subject image selection processing in step S512 is being performed.

  In this embodiment, the CPU 103 performs trimming on the pre-processed subject image according to the angle of view of the camera 21 when shooting two users (the angle of view for two people), and has been processed for two people. A subject image is generated. Further, the CPU 103 performs trimming on the pre-processed subject image according to the angle of view (multi-person angle of view) of the camera 21 when photographing three or more users, and the multi-subject processed subject image. Is generated. In this embodiment, two types of trimming are performed on the preprocessed subject image, but three or more types of trimming may be performed.

  The range that appears in the photographic image generated based on the shooting with the angle of view for two people is narrower than the range that appears in the photographic image generated based on the shooting with the angle of view for many people. The trimming range at the time of subject image generation is also narrower than the trimming range at the time of multi-person processed subject image generation. In other words, in the processed subject image for two people, the user as the subject is displayed more up than the processed subject image for many people.

  The CPU 103 arranges the processed subject image 514A for two persons (FIG. 21) in the processed subject image display area 511 of the moving image selection screen 510, and the processed subject image 514B (for multiple persons) in the processed subject image display area 512. FIG. 21) is arranged. Thereafter, the CPU 103 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed after initial display of the moving image selection screen 510. If the predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in step S5125), the mask image 513 is not displayed. To. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21, the processed subject image 514A for two people and the processed subject image 514B for multiple people are displayed as moving images in the processed moving image display areas 511 and 512 in real time (steps). S5126).

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed after the initial display of the moving image selection screen 510 (No in step S5125), the CPU 103 continuously displays the mask image 513.

  The CPU 103 determines whether or not the user has selected one of the processed subject images 514A and 514B (step S5127). While the processed subject images 514A and 514B are not selected by the user (No in step S5127), the CPU 103 generates and displays the processed subject image 514A for two people and the processed subject image 514B for multiple people in real time. Continue.

  When processed user images 514A and 514B are selected by the user touching either processed image 514A or 514B (Yes in step S5127), CPU 103 accepts the selection (step S5128). .

  When the selection of the processed subject images 514A and 514B is accepted, the CPU 103 hides the unselected one of the processed subject images 514A and 514B, enlarges the selected one, and the front display 22 Is switched from the moving image selection screen 510 to the photography screen 520 shown in FIG. 22 (step S5129). FIG. 22 is an example of a photography screen 520 that is displayed when the user selects the processed subject image 514 </ b> A for two people on the moving image selection screen 510. Note that, as described in the first embodiment, various transitions can be applied when switching the display from the moving image selection screen 510 to the photography screen 520.

  The photography screen 520 has a moving image display area 521, and the processed subject image 522 is displayed in the moving image display area 521. The processed subject image 522 in the moving image display area 521 is also generated in real time and displayed as a moving image. The processed subject image 522 is a subject image obtained by performing the same processing on the subject image acquired from the camera 21 as the processed subject images 514A and 514B selected by the user, but matches the moving image display area 521. The image size has been adjusted. On the photo shooting screen 520, a timer 523 for displaying the remaining time until a photo is taken is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 18, the description of the photographing process will be continued. Next, the CPU 103 performs a photography process (step S513). The CPU 103 controls the camera 21 so that the angle of view corresponds to the selected processed subject images 514A and 514B. In this embodiment, the processed image for two-person image 514A that has been trimmed in accordance with the angle of view for two people is selected, so the CPU 103 sets the zoom of the camera 21 so that the angle of view for two people is obtained. I do. When the multi-person processed subject image 514B is selected, the CPU 103 performs zoom setting of the camera 21 so that the multi-person view angle is obtained.

  The CPU 103 takes a picture of the user and generates a plurality of images. Note that the CPU 103 may perform the processed subject image selection process in step S512 during photography, or may perform the processed moving subject image selection process a plurality of times. For example, the processed subject image selection process may be performed after taking a photograph once or more, and the photography may be resumed, or the processed subject image selection process may be performed for each one or more photography.

  Thereafter, the processing of step S214 to step S216 described in the first embodiment is performed, and the photographing processing is ended.

  The CPU 103 performs photographic image generation / editing processing after the photographing processing is completed. FIG. 23 is a flowchart of photographic image generation / editing processing in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 23, the photographic image generation / editing process according to the present embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, but the correction related to the color in step S317 is performed on the photographic image generated in step S314. This is different from the first embodiment in that it is not broken.

  In the trimming process (step S313) of the photographic image generation / editing process, as in the first embodiment, the trimming process corresponding to the angle of view of the camera 21 at the time of shooting is performed on the photographic image shot in step S513. Is called. The angle of view of the camera 21 at the time of shooting is set according to the processed subject images 514A and 514B selected in step S5128. Accordingly, as a result of the processing in step S313, the range that appears in the photographic image generated in step S314 matches the range that appears in the processed subject images 514A and 514B selected in step S5128. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the processing in step S317 of the first embodiment is not performed, the photographic image generated in step S314 corresponds to the “processed photographic image”.

  The processed photo image generated in step S314 is handled in the same manner as the up photo image and the whole body photo image in the first embodiment in the processing after step S315.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the processed subject image for two people generated on the assumption that the camera 21 is set to the angle of view for two people and the camera 21 for a large number of people before taking a picture. The processed subject image for a large number of people generated on the assumption that the angle of view is set is displayed on the processing selection screen 510. Therefore, it is possible to make the user specifically imagine what kind of photographic image is generated when the image is taken at a different angle of view before taking the picture.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said each embodiment, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning. Hereinafter, modifications of the above embodiments will be described.

For example, processing to change the shape and size of the user's eyes, the color of the lips, the color of the hair, the size of the face, the length of the legs, etc. Various processes such as a process of adding cheek to the cheek can be performed.

  (2) In the first embodiment, the raw subject image 214 is displayed on the moving image selection screen 210. However, the raw subject image 214 is not displayed, and only the processed subject images 215A to 215H are displayed. You can also. Note that the number of processed subject images generated by the CPU 103 in real time and displayed on the moving image selection screen 210 is not particularly limited.

  (3) In each of the above embodiments, the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H, 514A, and 514B that were not selected by the user are switched to non-display on the moving image selection screens 210 and 510. After the user's selection, the unprocessed subject image or the processed subject image that has not been selected may be continuously displayed.

  (4) In each of the embodiments described above, the unprocessed subject image 214 and the processed subject images 215A to 215H, 514A, and 514B selected by the user are enlarged and displayed on the moving image selection screens 210 and 510. After the selection, the sizes of the selected unprocessed subject image 214 and processed subject images 215A to 215H, 514A, and 514B can be prevented from being changed.
