TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an image reproducing apparatus and an image control method for reading and reproducing images from respective recording media on which still images and moving images are recorded.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, video image shooting and silver halide photography have been performed separately. At the time of appreciation, the user watched the video image only as a video image and the photograph as a photo only. Some image capturing devices have both functions of video image capturing and silver halide photo capturing, and can perform silver halide capturing during video capturing. Was.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the latter, although it is photographed simultaneously at the time of photographing, if it is watched separately at the time of appreciation, the meaning of photographing at the same time is lost. In addition, once a captured video image is edited, it is often redundant and unbearable for viewing. In particular, when the shooting point is not clear and the shooting time is long, it takes too much time to view the video image without editing. For this reason, I did not readily see the video image even though I had taken a picture. And video images were often stored dead with little or no viewing.
[0004]
Solution to the Problems The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and can appreciate both a moving image such as a video image and a still image such as a silver halide image with a simple operation, and is effective only for both images taken simultaneously. It is an object of the present invention to provide an image reproducing apparatus and an image control method capable of performing various viewing.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, in the first configuration of the present invention, image recording is simultaneously performed on a first recording medium for recording a still image and a second recording medium for recording a moving image at the time of shooting. Is recorded on both recording media,
Based on the respective simultaneous photographing information, a moving image photographing portion and a still image photographing only portion are further divided, and the moving image photographing portion is divided into blocks by dividing photographing start and photographing end. In the still image emphasized mode for reproducing the moving image so as to include the image at the time of photographing, or in the moving image emphasized mode for excluding from the target of reproduction when the block is only the still image photographing, the block In each case, the degree of importance is determined based on the number of the still image images included in the block, and the rendering method is determined.
[0006]
With such a configuration, when reading the simultaneous shooting information recorded on each recording medium, the image reproducing apparatus divides the shooting information such as the shooting date into reading blocks. Then, for each block, an effect method such as a reproduction time and an effect expression is determined according to the still image emphasis mode or the moving image emphasis mode. In this case, the mode is selected based on the number of still image images included in each block.
[0019]
In addition, the present inventionSecondIn the configuration,Simultaneous photographing information indicating that image recording was performed simultaneously at the time of photographing is recorded on both the first recording medium on which the still image is recorded and the second recording medium on which the moving image is recorded, and based on the simultaneous photographing information, The moving image shooting part is divided into a still image shooting part only, and the moving image shooting part is further divided into blocks by dividing shooting start and shooting end. The shorter the photographing time on the recording medium, the greater the ratio of the reproduction time of the moving image.
[0020]
In such a configuration, each recording medium is divided into blocks as described above. The number of still image images for each block with respect to the moving image image shooting time is checked. The reproduction time ratio of the moving image is increased in the descending order of the number. For a block in which the ratio of the still image image to the moving image image by the photographer is large, the reproduction time is long, and conversely, the reproduction time is short for a small block. A block in which recording of a still image has been performed more frequently than a shooting time of a moving image is reproduced with more emphasis.

[0071]
Next, an outline of the processing of this embodiment is shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG. FIG. 5A shows the basic sequence. FIG. 5B shows a variation thereof. When the process is started, the video shooting information is read from the DVC 3 and the silver halide shooting information from the silver halide film 4 in step # 1 and stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20. Then, the process proceeds to step # 2, and the mode selection is detected by the input of the operation unit 17. Next, the process proceeds to step # 3, and performs block division by a predetermined process based on the detected mode selection.
[0072]
Then, the process proceeds to step # 4. In step # 4, a performance method (including a reproduction method) is determined based on the performance time specified by the operation unit 17 and the result of the block division. Next, the process proceeds to step # 5, where automatic performance is performed according to the determined performance method. When the performance is completed, the process proceeds to step # 6, and the DVC 3 and the silver halide film 4 are rewound. Then, the DVC 3 and the silver halide film 4 are ejected from the image reproducing device 1 (see FIG. 1), and the process is completed.
[0073]
FIG. 5B is a variation of the above processing. The same processes as those in FIG. 5A are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. An information writing process (# 8) is inserted between the rewinding process (# 6) and the ejecting process (# 7). This is a process of writing information stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20 to the head of the DVC 3 and the reader unit 4a of the silver halide film 4 (see FIG. 3). Thus, when the process is restarted, in the information reading process (# 1), it is only necessary to read the information from the head of the DVC 3 and the reader unit 4a of the silver halide film 4, so that the processing speed is improved.
[0074]
The information reading process (# 1) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. When the process is started, the power of the image reproducing apparatus 1 (see FIG. 1) is turned on in step # 11. When the control unit 11 is started, first, in step # 12, it is checked whether the DVC 3 is mounted. If it is not mounted, the process proceeds to step # 13, and the superimposing unit 14 is controlled to issue an instruction to the monitor device 2 to prompt the user to mount it. Then, the process returns to step # 12. On the other hand, if the DVC 3 is attached in step # 12, the process proceeds to step # 14.
[0075]
In step # 14, it is confirmed whether the silver halide film 4 is mounted. If not, the process proceeds to step # 15, in which the superimposing unit 14 is controlled to instruct the monitor device 2 to mount the silver halide film 4. Then, the process returns to step # 14. On the other hand, if the silver halide film 4 is mounted in step # 14, the process proceeds to step # 16.
[0076]
In step # 16, the control unit 11 instructs the film feeding unit 26 to feed the silver halide film 4, and reads all the silver halide shooting information stored in the film 4. Further, the sub-code sector 74 (see FIG. 2) is read while instructing the deck drive unit 36 to send the DVC 3 at high speed. Then, in step # 17, the silver halide shooting information read from the film 4 and the video shooting information output from the video information processing unit 35 are stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20. The silver halide information / video information memory unit 20 has a storage capacity for storing information of at least one film or more and one video tape.
[0077]
When the silver halide photographing information is written in the leader portion 4a (see FIG. 3) of the silver halide film 4, the information is read from the leader portion 4a in the process of step # 16, and the video photographing is similarly performed at the head of the DVC 3. If the information has been written, the information is read from the beginning. The contents of the shooting information stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20 are the data shown in FIG. 7 as described above.
[0078]
When the video shooting information and the silver halide shooting information are stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20 in step # 17, the process proceeds to step # 20. In step # 20, the control unit 11 determines whether the shooting date and time, the shooting time, and the simultaneous shooting information match from the silver halide shooting information and the video shooting information stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20. Thereby, it is confirmed whether the DVC 3 mounted on the image reproducing apparatus 1 (see FIG. 1) and the silver halide film 4 are used at the same time.
[0079]
If the photographing information does not match and is not used at the same time, the process proceeds to step # 21, and the monitor device 2 is controlled to control the superimpose unit 14 and instruct the monitor device 2 to change the mounting. Then, the process returns to step # 12. On the other hand, if the shooting information matches in step # 20 and they are used at the same time, the process proceeds to step # 22, and it is detected which reproduction mode the user has selected with the operation unit 17.
[0080]
If the silver halide weighted reproduction mode has been selected, the process proceeds to step # 23. If the video emphasis reproduction mode has been selected, the process proceeds to step # 24. If the digest mode has been selected, the process proceeds to step # 25. If the edit mode has been selected, the process proceeds to step # 26. Next, processing in each mode (# 23 to # 26) will be described.
[0081]
First, the digest mode will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the process in the digest mode. When the digest mode is selected in the mode selection detection process (# 101), the process proceeds to step # 102. Then, in step # 103, the control section 11 reads out the silver halide shooting information and the video shooting information stored in the silver halide information / video information memory section 20. However, the read contents are the first to fourth information in the information shown in FIG.
[0082]
Then, on the basis of the read information, the control unit 11 creates a time chart representing a shooting situation as shown in FIG. 9, for example. The upper horizontal axis 80 shows the situation of silver halide photography, and the lower horizontal axis 81 shows the situation of video photography. The horizontal axes 80 and 81 are based on the time code of DVC3. The time code is shown between the horizontal axes 80 and 81 in 5-minute intervals.
[0083]
On the horizontal axis 80, the shooting date and shooting time of the silver halide shooting are indicated by circles A, B... W. On the other hand, on the horizontal axis 81, an S display indicating the start of video recording shooting and an E display indicating the end of shooting are displayed. The circles j to n and s on the horizontal axis 81 are images for after-view of silver halide photography. One frame of the after-view image is recorded on the DVC 3 or a still image is recorded for about one second.
[0084]
In the digest mode, the same after-view image is reproduced for 12 seconds. In the digest mode, the block division processing (# 3) in FIG. 5 is not performed, and the images are sequentially reproduced for 30 seconds each for 15 seconds before and after the simultaneous shooting and 12 seconds for the after-view image. Thus, it is determined that the portions a to w are sequentially reproduced on the horizontal axis 81.
[0085]
When the playback portions a to w are determined, the tape playback time is determined in step # 104 in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step # 105, and enters a standby state in which it is determined whether or not the user has instructed the reproduction with the operation unit 17 (see FIG. 4). If the user instructs reproduction, the process proceeds to step # 106, and reproduction of a to w portions is started according to the determined reproduction order.
[0086]
During playback, it is determined in step # 107 whether the user has instructed termination of playback. If the user indicates the end of the reproduction, the process proceeds to step # 109. The reproduction is terminated in step # 109. On the other hand, if the reproduction end is not instructed, the process proceeds to step # 108. At step # 108, it is determined whether or not the reproduction portion of a to w has been completed to the end. If completed, the process proceeds to step # 109. On the other hand, if not completed, the process returns to step # 107.
[0087]
When the reproduction ends in step # 109, the process proceeds to step # 110. If the reproduction is not instructed in step # 105, the process directly proceeds to step # 110. In step # 110, it is determined whether the user has changed the mode by operating the operation unit 17 (see FIG. 4). If the mode has been changed, the process returns to step # 101, and the mode selection is detected. Then, processing is performed in the changed mode.
[0088]
On the other hand, if the mode has not been changed in step # 110, the process proceeds to # 111, and it is determined whether or not the power switch provided on the operation unit 17 has been turned off. If it has not been turned off, the process returns to step # 105, and it is determined whether or not the user has issued a reproduction instruction. On the other hand, if the power switch is off, the process proceeds to step # 112, and the DVC 3 and the film 4 are rewound. Then, the process proceeds to # 113, the DVC 3 and the film 4 are ejected, and the process ends.
[0089]
In the variation shown in FIG. 5B, between the processing of steps # 112 and # 113, the silver halide information / video information memory section is stored in the leading section of the DVC 3 and the leader section 4a of the film 4 (see FIG. 3). Processing for recording the information stored in 20 is inserted. As a result, information can be read from the leading portion of the DVC 3 and the reader 4a of the film 4 at the next reproduction. Since it is not necessary to read information over the entire DVC 3 and the film 4, the time required to start reproduction is reduced.
[0090]
However, since the storage capacity of the silver halide information / video information memory unit 20 is limited, when information is newly read from some DVCs 3 and films 4, the information is deleted from the oldest one. When the information is erased, it is necessary to read the information again all over at the next reproduction.
[0091]
In the present embodiment, only the video image is reproduced. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a still image is read from the film 4 by the silver halide image reading unit 21 (see FIG. 4), and the screen of the monitor device 2 is displayed. The still image and the moving image based on the video image may be simultaneously reproduced on the display unit 2a. In FIG. 10, the same portions as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In the screen display unit 2a, a moving image based on a video image is displayed in a section 45 separated by a partition line 47, and a still image is displayed in the section 46. Conversely, a still image may be displayed in the section 45 and a moving image may be displayed in the section 46. Further, the partition line 47 may be set freely.
[0092]
In the case of simultaneous reproduction, when the part of the video image a is reproduced in FIG. 9, the part of the still image A is reproduced at the same time. Similarly, when the portions of the video images b to w are being reproduced, the portions of the still images B to W are simultaneously reproduced. In particular, when a high image quality monitor such as an HDTV (high definition television) is used, it is effective in terms of image quality.
[0093]
If the storage capacity of the silver halide image memory unit 23 (see FIG. 4) has a certain margin, the still images read by the silver halide image reading unit 21 are reproduced for the portions J to N, and the other still images are stored in the memory. The reading is performed by the unit 23. Thereby, even if the capacity of the memory unit 23 is not sufficient, the winding time of the film at the time of reproduction is reduced.
[0094]
When a silver halide image is reproduced, the direction of the top and bottom is read from the top and bottom information (see FIG. 7), and the reproduction direction of the image is determined. When reproducing, the time may be set to a shorter time or a longer time, instead of 30 seconds each for 15 seconds before and after the simultaneous shooting. Further, the time may be changed by the operation unit 17. The same applies to the after-view image. The sound output at the time of image reproduction may be sound recorded on the DVC 3 or music stored in the music information storage unit 16 (see FIG. 4). The music may be switched by a music selection switch provided on the operation unit 17.
[0095]
Next, the silver salt importance reproduction mode will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the processing in the silver salt priority reproduction mode. It is desirable that the silver salt-weighted reproduction mode be the default mode selection. When the silver halide weighted reproduction mode is selected in the mode selection detection process (# 201), the process proceeds to step # 202.
[0096]
Then, in step # 203, the control section 11 reads out the silver halide shooting information and the video shooting information from the silver halide information / video information memory section 20 (see FIG. 4). The contents to be read are the first to fourth information in the information shown in FIG. Based on the read information, the control unit 11 creates a time chart, for example, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 13, the same parts as those in FIG. 9 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.
[0097]
Then, the process proceeds to step # 204, where block division is performed. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the block division processing (# 204). When the process of dividing the block is started, first, in step # 501, the process is divided into a video shooting portion and a silver halide only shooting portion. The video shooting portion is divided into blocks divided at the start of shooting (S display) and at the end of shooting (E display). As a result, in FIG. 13, the block is divided into blocks 1A, 1B,.
[0098]
Further, the blocks 1A to 3C are divided hierarchically. In step # 502, the shooting date and time information of each block is read. Specifically, when the block is changed from video shooting information to video shooting information, date and time information of video shooting end and video shooting start is read. When the video shooting block is changed to the silver halide shooting block, the date and time information of the end of video shooting and the start of silver halide recording are read. When changing from the silver halide shooting block to the video shooting block, the date and time information of the end of silver halide recording and the start of video shooting are read.
[0099]
Then, in step # 503, it is determined whether the year has changed based on the read date and time information. If the year has changed, the block is divided into blocks in step # 504. Then, the process proceeds to step # 505. On the other hand, if the year has not changed in step # 503, the process proceeds to step # 505.
[0100]
Then, in step # 505, it is determined whether the monthly difference between the blocks is equal to or more than a predetermined month. If the month difference is equal to or longer than a predetermined month, the process proceeds to step # 506, where the process is divided into blocks. Then, the process proceeds to step # 507. On the other hand, if the month difference is not equal to or greater than the predetermined month in step # 505, the process proceeds to step # 507. The predetermined month is, for example, changed from July to August, and the change from 7/31 to 8/1 is set to two months, considering that it is not necessary to perform block division.
[0101]
Next, in step # 507, a change in the date of the block is determined. If the date has changed, the process proceeds to step # 508 to perform block division. Then, the processing returns to the processing shown in FIG. On the other hand, if the date has not changed, the process returns. Note that even in a shooting block of silver halide only, the shooting date and time are read for each frame, and the inside of the block is further subdivided by the same processing as in steps # 502 to # 508. In this way, block division is performed hierarchically.
[0102]
Thus, in FIG. 13, the block is largely divided into blocks 1, 2, and 3. Further, block 1 is divided into blocks 1A to 1E. Block 2 is only block 2A. Block 3 is divided into blocks 3A to 3C. FIG. 14 shows the block division in the form of a table. 13 and 14, the blocks 1D and 3B are silver halide photography blocks, but the blocks are not subdivided. Also, the video shooting time (C) at that time is regarded as 12 seconds for one shooting.
[0103]
In FIG. 11, when the processing is divided into blocks in step # 204, the processing proceeds to step # 205. In step # 205, a performance method is determined for each block by a predetermined method (described later). In order to determine the performance method, first, as shown in FIG. 14, the emphasis (A) of the performance is determined for the blocks 1, 2, and 3 in descending order of the ratio of the number of shots of silver halide.
[0104]
Next, for the blocks 1A to 1E, the video shooting time / the number of silver halide shots (C / D) is calculated from the video shooting time (C) and the number of silver halide shots (D), and the performance is performed in ascending order. Determine the emphasis (B). Thereby, the emphasis (A) and (B) of the performance reflects the degree of the photographer's desire to leave the image in the silver halide together with the video.
[0105]
As a method of playing back the blocks with higher rankings of the emphasis (A) and (B),
1. In the case of a silver halide shooting block,
(B) The playback time per image is increased.
(B) Reproduction with a large playing effect such as zooming for continuous enlargement or reduction and panning for continuously displaying a photograph from side to side from side to side.
Reproduce by such a production method.
2. For video shooting blocks,
(B) Play back all video recording time.
(B) Reproduce the video image before and after the silver halide shooting time as long as possible.
Reproduce by such a production method.
Conversely, as a method of reproducing blocks with lower priorities in the emphasis (A) and (B),
1. In the case of a silver halide shooting block,
(A) The photographing time per image is shortened. Alternatively, the video image may be simply reproduced for a short time.
(B) Do not use effects such as zooming and panning.
Reproduce by such a production method.
2. For video shooting blocks,
(B) At the start of recording or before and after the silver halide shooting time, playback is performed a little.
(B) Reproduce the video image before and after the silver halide shooting time as short as possible.
Reproduce by such a production method.
[0106]
Thus, the playing method is determined. Further, by utilizing the hierarchical division, it is possible to give the common effect to the effects for each block. Then, when the playing method is determined, the process proceeds to step # 206, where the playing time is displayed on the monitor device 2. Further, the process proceeds to step # 207, and it is determined whether or not the user has instructed to change the playing time. If the change of the playing time is instructed, the process returns to step # 205. Then, in step # 205, the performance method is determined again. For example, if the display of the playing time is 10 minutes and the user operates to shorten the playing time, the playing method of each block is changed and the playing time is shortened while the block division is kept.
[0107]
If the user does not give an instruction to change the playing time in step # 207, the process proceeds to step # 208. In step # 208, a standby state is established in which it is determined whether the user has instructed reproduction. If the user instructs reproduction, the process proceeds to step # 209, and reproduction of blocks 1A to 3C is started according to the performance method determined in step # 205. During playback, it is determined in step # 210 whether the user has instructed the end of playback.
[0108]
If the user instructs the end of the reproduction, the process proceeds to step # 212, where the reproduction is ended. On the other hand, if the end of the reproduction is not instructed, the process proceeds to step # 211. At step # 211 it is determined whether the reproduction of the blocks 1A to 3C has been completed to the end. If completed, the process proceeds to step # 212. On the other hand, if not completed, the process returns to step # 210.
[0109]
When the reproduction is completed in step # 212, the process proceeds to step # 213. If the reproduction is not instructed in step # 208, the process directly proceeds to step # 213. In step # 213, it is determined whether or not the user has changed the mode by operating the operation unit 17. If the mode has been changed, the process returns to step # 201, and the mode selection is detected. Then, processing is performed in the changed mode.
[0110]
On the other hand, if the mode has not been changed in step # 213, the process proceeds to # 214, and it is determined whether or not the power switch provided on the operation unit 17 has been turned off. If not, the process returns to # 201. If the power switch has been turned off in step # 214, the process proceeds to # 215, and the DVC 3 and the film 4 are rewound. Then, the process proceeds to # 216, the DVC 3 and the film 4 are ejected, and the process ends.
[0111]
In the variation shown in FIG. 5B, between the processing of steps # 215 and # 216, the silver halide information / video information memory section is stored in the leading section of the DVC 3 and the leader section 4a of the film 4 (see FIG. 3). Processing for recording the information stored in 20 is inserted.
[0112]
Next, the video emphasis reproduction mode will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the processing in the video emphasis reproduction mode. When the video emphasis reproduction mode is selected in the mode selection detection process (# 301), the process proceeds to step # 302. Then, in step # 303, the control unit 11 reads out the silver halide shooting information and the video shooting information. The contents to be read are the first to fourth information in the information shown in FIG. Based on the read information, the control unit 11 creates, for example, a time chart as shown in FIG. In FIG. 16, the same parts as those in FIG.
[0113]
Then, the process proceeds to step # 304 to perform block division. The division is performed by the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. However, a shooting block containing only silver halide is excluded from the playback target. Thus, in FIG. 16, the block is largely divided into blocks 1, 2, and 3. Further, block 1 is divided into blocks 1A to 1D. Block 2 is only block 2A. Block 3 is divided into blocks 3A and 3B. FIG. 17 shows the block division in the form of a table.
[0114]
In FIG. 15, when the block is divided in step # 304, the process proceeds to step # 305. In step # 305, a performance method is determined for each block by a predetermined method (described later). In order to determine the performance method, first, as shown in FIG. 17, the emphasis (A) of the performance is determined for blocks 1, 2, and 3 in ascending order of video shooting time / number of silver halide shots (C / D). . The priority (A) may be equivalent without providing a ranking.
[0115]
Next, in each of the blocks 1A to 3B, the video shooting time / the number of silver halide shots (C / D) is obtained, and the priority (B) is determined in ascending order of the value. As a result, the emphasis (A) and (B) of the performance reflects the degree of the photographer's desire to keep the image even in silver halide as well as video shooting.
[0116]
As a method of playing back the blocks with higher rankings of the emphasis (A) and (B),
(B) Play back all video recording time.
(B) The video images at the start of shooting and before and after the silver halide shooting time are reproduced as long as possible.
Reproduce by such a production method.
Conversely, as a method of reproducing blocks with lower priorities of the emphasis (A) and (B),
(A) Play back a little bit at the start of recording or before and after the silver halide shooting time.
(B) Reproduce the video image before and after the silver halide shooting time as short as possible.
(C) Blocks not photographed with silver halide are not reproduced.
Reproduce by such a production method.
[0117]
Thus, the playing method is determined. By default, a performance method without emphasis on blocks 1, 2, and 3 may be used. When the playing method is determined, the process proceeds to step # 306, and the playing time is displayed on the monitor device 2. Further, the process proceeds to step # 307, and it is determined whether the user has instructed to change the playing time. If it is instructed to change the playing time, the process returns to step # 305. Then, in step # 305, the performance method is determined again.
[0118]
If the user has not instructed to change the playing time in step # 307, the process proceeds to step # 308. In step # 308, it is determined whether the user has instructed reproduction. If the user instructs reproduction, the process proceeds to step # 309, and reproduction of blocks 1A to 3C is started according to the performance method determined in step # 305. During playback, it is determined in step # 310 whether the user has instructed the end of playback.
[0119]
If the user instructs the end of the reproduction, the process proceeds to step # 312, and the reproduction ends. On the other hand, if the reproduction end is not instructed, the process proceeds to step # 311. In step # 311, it is determined whether the reproduction of the blocks 1A to 3C has been completed to the end. If completed, the process proceeds to step # 312. If not, the process returns to step # 310.
[0120]
When the reproduction is completed in step # 312, the process proceeds to step # 313. If the reproduction is not instructed in step # 308, the process proceeds to step # 313. If the user has changed the mode in step # 313, the process returns to step # 301, and mode selection detection is performed. Then, processing is performed in the changed mode. On the other hand, if the mode has not been changed, the process proceeds to step # 314, and it is determined whether or not the power switch provided on the operation unit 17 (see FIG. 4) has been turned off. If not, the process returns to step # 301.
[0121]
On the other hand, if the power switch has been turned off, the process proceeds to step # 315 to rewind the DVC 3 and the film 4. Then, the process proceeds to step # 316, where the DVC 3 and the film 4 are ejected, and the process ends. In the variation shown in FIG. 5B, between the processing of steps # 315 and # 316, the silver halide information / video information memory section is provided in the leading section of the DVC 3 and the leader section 4a of the film 4 (see FIG. 3). Processing for recording the information stored in 20 is inserted.
[0122]
In this way, the video image is edited by the method according to the mode, and the topic part is automatically reproduced by the digest. In the video emphasis reproduction mode, the silver halide image recorded during video shooting is not reproduced. As a result, expressions and performances with emphasis on the storyliness of the video image by omitting parts such as commemorative photos are obtained.
[0123]
In FIG. 6, the process in the edit mode (# 26) is a process for editing a captured video image. It is convenient to have a means for inputting detailed instructions in the processing in the edit mode. Therefore, a second embodiment will be described in which a detailed instruction can be input.
[0124]
According to the present embodiment, matching between different recording media such as the film 4 and the DVC 3 can be performed for effective viewing. Further, even when only one of the DVC 3 and the silver halide film 4 is mounted, the image reproducing apparatus 1 can also reproduce the image independently without editing.
[0125]
<Second embodiment>
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 18 shows the system configuration of the present embodiment. The film scanner 60 is a device for reading an image from the silver halide film 4 mounted on the mounting opening 60b. The silver halide film 4 is mounted as shown by an arrow A4.
[0126]
The film scanner 60 reads images and information from the silver halide film 4. Then, a digital video or audio signal is output, and an image is displayed on a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as “PC”) 62 or the like. Further, information can be written on the silver halide film 4. The silver halide film 4 is the silver halide film 4 (FIG. 3) described in the first embodiment. An operation unit 17 is provided on the front of the film scanner 60.
[0127]
The film scanner 60 can also take in a video signal from a still camera 61 with a video camera and output it to a personal computer 62. The camera 61 is an image photographing apparatus (FIG. 20) capable of simultaneously performing silver halide photographing and video photographing. For recording video images, for example, DVC is used. The camera 61 displays the video image on the liquid crystal display panel 61a. The personal computer 62 includes a monitor 62a for displaying images on a monitor, a CD reproducing device 62b for reproducing music and voice, and a keyboard 62c for inputting detailed instructions. Further, a magneto-optical disk recording device (hereinafter, referred to as “MO”) 63 is connected for recording a video image.
[0128]
FIG. 19 is a block diagram illustrating control of the system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 19 is basically the same as the block diagram of the first embodiment (FIG. 4). Therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In the still camera 61 with a video camera, only a moving image reproducing system is shown, and other systems such as a video recording system are omitted.
[0129]
In FIG. 19, a microcomputer 40 is provided inside a camera 61 and controls the camera 61. The microcomputer 40 communicates with the control unit 11 of the film scanner 60 via the connector 52, the control line 53, and the connector 51. The content recorded on the DVC 3 is read by the head 32, sent to the encoder / decoder 41, and decoded.
[0130]
The video signal is sent from the encoder / decoder 41 to the video signal processor 34. The video shooting information is sent to the video information processing unit 35. The audio signal is sent to the audio signal processing unit 42 and processed. The moving image signal is sent from the moving image signal processing unit 34 to the output image memory 13 of the film scanner 60 via the connector 52, the control line 55, and the connector 51. The audio signal is sent from the audio signal processing unit 42 to the music playing unit 15 of the film scanner 60 via the connector 52, the control line 54, and the connector 51.
[0131]
The control unit 11 is connected to the personal computer 62 via the connector 50, and communicates with the personal computer 62. The music playing section 15 outputs a sound signal to the personal computer 62 via the connector 50. The superimposing unit 14 outputs a video signal to the personal computer 62 via the connector 50. An MO 63 is connected to the personal computer 62 to record images and the like. The personal computer 62 is provided with a CD reproducing device 62b, which can read data from a CD. At the time of reproducing a video image, music information may be read from a CD and output. Key input is performed from the keyboard 62c.
[0132]
The processing in the film scanner 60 includes a digest mode, a silver halide weighted playback mode, and a video weighted playback mode. These are the same processes as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. Note that, in the present embodiment, the operation between the control unit 11 and the personal computer 62 and the operation of the keyboard 62c enable more detailed operations than in the first embodiment. In addition, by recording the automatically played image in the MO 63, the process can be simplified when the automatic performance is performed again.
[0133]
Next, the edit mode will be described. In FIG. 6, when the edit mode (# 26) is selected by the mode selection detection process (# 2), the control unit 11 (see FIG. 19) stores the information stored in the silver halide information / video information memory unit 30. Read out. The contents to be read are the first to fourth information in FIG. Next, block division is performed by the same division method as in the silver halide weighted reproduction mode. Thereby, for example, the time charts shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 are created. 13 or 14 is displayed on the monitor 62a of the personal computer 62.
[0134]
For example, the screen is displayed as shown in FIG. The monitor 62a also displays images A, B,. As a result, the turning point of the photographing can be easily understood. By simultaneously displaying the images photographed by the silver halide in this way, a series of flows of the video to be edited can be grasped at a glance. In addition, points, topic parts, and the like can be immediately grasped. The actual editing operation is performed by a large number of editing software for the personal computer 62.
[0135]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the invention,The still image recording medium and the video image recording medium are divided into blocks, and the rendering method is determined for each block based on the simultaneous photographing information. For this reason, an effective appreciation unique to both images taken simultaneously can be performed.
According to the second aspect of the present invention,Each image recorded on each recording medium is divided into blocks based on the simultaneous photographing information. For each block, the ratio of the reproduction time of the image recorded on the second recording medium increases as the photographing time of the video image becomes shorter than the number of silver halide images. It is considered that the more frequently a still image is shot, the bigger the photographer's feelings are, and the scene is played back with emphasisThis has the effect.
