Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an assisting technique for displaying the date and time of imaging of an image taken by an imaging device such as a camera.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Many imaging devices such as cameras can display a captured image or display image with an imaging date and time added. The date and time of image capture is generated by a calendar module (date generation module) linked to a timer built in the image capture device, temporarily stored in the internal memory when the shutter is operated. The camera device fixes (records) the image recorded in the image recording memory in association with the image.
[0003]
When traveling abroad or on a business trip, you may bring a camera and take a picture. Many of these cameras have an adjustment function to adjust the camera time to the local time. You can reset the time by operating the adjustment buttons according to the local clock. The imaged date and time at the local time is displayed on the image captured by the camera that has been reset in this way.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, travelers often forget to reset the camera clock to local time. For example, it is easy to forget to set the camera time when traveling around multiple countries, not just one country, such as when traveling in Europe or the Middle East.
[0005]
When shooting is performed without setting the time, the time set in the camera is displayed in the captured image, and there is a problem that it is not possible to know when the photograph was actually taken. For example, if a Japanese traveler travels to France and forgets to reset the camera to French time, the Japanese time is recorded, and then the traveler goes to the UK to take a picture. Since Japan time is recorded, there is a problem that the image is a daytime scene but the shooting time is midnight.
[0006]
In addition, when a traveler travels on the date change line and takes a picture, even if the time is reset at the local time each time, a deviation occurs and the imaging date and time may become inconsistent.
[0007]
