The connector 112 is a connector between the connection cable and the digital camera 100.

  The operation unit 70 includes operation members such as various switches, buttons, and a touch panel that receive various operations from the user. The controller wheel 73 is a rotatable operation member included in the operation unit 70, and is used when a selection item is designated together with the four-way button. The power switch 72 switches between power on and power off. The recording medium 200 is a recording medium such as a memory card or a hard disk. The recording medium slot 201 is a slot for storing the recording medium 200. The recording medium 200 stored in the recording medium slot 201 can communicate with the digital camera 100. A lid 202 is a lid of the recording medium slot 201.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration example of the digital camera 100 according to the present embodiment.
In FIG. 2, the photographing lens 103 is a lens including a focus lens, and the shutter 101 has a diaphragm function. The imaging unit 22 includes a CCD, a CMOS element, or the like that converts an optical image into an electrical signal. The A / D converter 23 is used to convert an analog signal output from the imaging unit 22 into a digital signal. The barrier 102 covers the imaging system including the imaging lens 103 to prevent the imaging system including the imaging lens 103, the shutter 101, and the imaging unit 22 from being soiled or damaged.

  The image processing unit 24 performs resizing processing such as predetermined pixel interpolation and reduction and color conversion processing on the data from the A / D converter 23 or the data from the memory control unit 15. The image processing unit 24 performs predetermined calculation processing using image data obtained by imaging, and the system control unit 50 performs exposure control and distance measurement control based on the obtained calculation result. Thereby, AF (autofocus) processing, AE (automatic exposure) processing, and EF (flash pre-emission) processing of the TTL (through-the-lens) method are performed. The image processing unit 24 further performs predetermined calculation processing using image data obtained by imaging, and also performs TTL AWB (auto white balance) processing based on the obtained calculation result. Further, in a series of photographing processes, the image data subjected to the image processing is encoded by a predetermined encoding method and temporarily stored in the memory 32. Thereafter, the encoded image data stored in the memory 32 by the system control unit 50 is recorded on the recording medium 200. It is also possible to decode the encoded image data.

  Data output from the A / D converter 23 is directly written into the memory 32 via the image processing unit 24 and the memory control unit 15 or via the memory control unit 15. The memory 32 stores image data obtained by the imaging unit 22 and converted into digital data by the A / D converter 23 and image data to be displayed on the display unit 28. The memory 32 has a storage capacity sufficient to store a predetermined number of still image data, moving image data and audio data for a predetermined time.

The system control unit 50 also performs display control by controlling the memory 32, the D / A converter 13, the display unit 28, and the like.

  The mode dial 60, the first shutter switch 62, the second shutter switch 64, and the operation unit 70 are operation means for inputting various operation instructions to the system control unit 50. The mode dial 60 switches the operation mode of the system control unit 50 to any one of a shooting mode capable of recording still images and moving images, a reproduction mode, and the like.

  The first shutter switch 62 is turned on when a shutter button 61 provided in the digital camera 100 is being operated, so-called half-press (shooting preparation operation instruction), and generates a first shutter switch signal SW1. In response to the first shutter switch signal SW1, operations such as AF (auto focus) processing, AE (auto exposure) processing, AWB (auto white balance) processing, EF (flash pre-flash) processing (hereinafter, at least one of them) This is referred to as a shooting preparation operation). These processes are performed under the control of the system control unit 50.

  The second shutter switch 64 is turned ON when the operation of the shutter button 61 is completed, that is, when it is fully pressed (shooting instruction), and generates a second shutter switch signal SW2. In response to the second shutter switch signal SW2, the system control unit 50 starts a series of shooting processing operations from reading a signal from the imaging unit 22 to writing image data on the recording medium 200.

  Each operation member of the operation unit 70 is appropriately assigned a function for each scene by selecting and operating various function icons displayed on the display unit 28, and functions as various function buttons. Examples of the function buttons include an end button, a return button, an image advance button, a jump button, a narrowing button, and an attribute change button.

The recording medium 200 is a recording medium such as a memory card, and includes a semiconductor memory or a magnetic disk.

First, a processing procedure in the shooting mode will be described.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a basic processing procedure in the shooting mode by the digital camera 100 according to the present embodiment. This process is realized by developing a program recorded in the nonvolatile memory 56 in the system memory 52 and executing it by the system control unit 50.

  First, the process is started when the mode dial 60 is operated by the user to shift to the shooting mode or when the power switch 72 is operated. In S301, the through image obtained through the imaging unit 22 is sequentially displayed on the display unit 28 as an initial state of the shooting mode.

  Next, in S302, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the first menu activation button in the operation unit 70. The first menu will be described later. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the first menu activation button has been operated, the process proceeds to S308, and if it has not been detected, the process proceeds to S303. The process of S308 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the next S303, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the second menu activation button in the operation unit 70. The second menu will be described later. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the second menu activation button has been operated, the process proceeds to S309, and if it has not been detected, the process proceeds to S304. The process of S309 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, in S304, it is determined whether or not the shutter button 61 is half-pressed to turn on the first shutter switch 62 and the first shutter switch signal SW1 is input. If it is determined that the first shutter switch signal SW1 is input, the process proceeds to S305. If the first shutter switch signal SW1 is not input, the process proceeds to S306. In S305, operations such as AF (autofocus) processing, AE (automatic exposure) processing, AWB (auto white balance) processing, and EF (flash preflash) processing are started as photographing preparation operations.

  Next, in S306, it is determined whether or not the shutter button 61 is fully pressed and the second shutter switch 64 is turned on to input the second shutter switch signal SW2. As a result of the determination, if the second shutter switch signal SW2 is input, the process proceeds to S307, and if the second shutter switch signal SW2 is not input, the process proceeds to S310. In step S <b> 307, a series of shooting processing operations from reading the signal from the imaging unit 22 to writing image data on the recording medium 200 as described above is started.

  In step S310, it is determined whether an instruction to end the shooting mode is received. Here, the termination instruction includes an instruction to switch to the playback mode by operating the mode dial 60 by the user, and an instruction to turn off the power by operating the power switch 72. As a result of the determination, if an instruction to end the shooting mode is received, the process ends. If no instruction to end the shooting mode has been received, the process returns to S301.

  Next, a detailed operation regarding the first menu in S308 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the first menu is displayed, it can be set quickly during shooting, while a through image can be displayed without covering the entire screen so that the shooting result can be confirmed as shown in FIG. Select the number of items carefully. Further, the arrangement order of the items in the first menu and information relating to display / non-display of each item can be customized. The customization data of the first menu is recorded in the system memory 52.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen of the first menu. In FIG. 4, items (large items) 401 listed vertically indicate function categories that can be set, such as a flash function and a white balance function. On the other hand, the items (small items) 402 listed horizontally are items in a lower hierarchy of the item selected in the large item 401, and indicate setting value options that can be set for the selected item in the large item 401. ing. The middle dialog 403 is guidance indicating the meaning of the item selected in the sub-item 402 and the current setting value. The background image 404 is a through image captured in the live view.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a detailed processing procedure in S308 of FIG.
First, in S501, the customization data recorded in the nonvolatile memory 56 is read out, and the first menu item to be displayed is set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52. In S502, the items of the first menu set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52 are arranged according to the display rule of the first menu and displayed on the display unit 28.

  Next, in S503, it is determined whether or not it has been detected that the user has pressed the SET button in the operation unit 70 for a predetermined time or longer (long press). As a result of the determination, if it is detected that the SET button is pressed and held down, the process proceeds to S509, and if it is not detected that the SET button is pressed and held, the process proceeds to S504. S509 is processing for customizing the first menu, and details of this processing will be described later.

  In S504, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the four-way button in the operation unit 70 in the vertical direction. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the operation has been performed in the vertical direction, the process proceeds to S505. If it is not detected that the operation has been performed in the vertical direction, the process proceeds to S506. In S505, the selection state of the large item 401 is moved in the direction operated in S504, the function to be set is changed, and the process proceeds to S506.

  In next step S506, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the four-way button in the operation unit 70 in the left-right direction. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the operation is performed in the left-right direction, the process proceeds to S507. If it is not detected that the operation is performed in the left-right direction, the process proceeds to S508. In S507, the selection state of the small item 402 is moved in the direction operated in S506, the setting of the large item 401 currently in the selection state is changed, and the process proceeds to S508.

  Next, in S508, as an operation to end the setting of the first menu, whether the user has detected that the SET button in the operation unit 70 has been pressed for a predetermined time and released (short press) has been detected. Determine whether or not. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the SET button has been pressed for a short time, the process is terminated. If it is not detected that the SET button has been pressed for a short time, the process returns to S503.

  Next, a detailed operation regarding the second menu in S309 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second menu, a large number of items can be set on a setting screen that covers the entire screen. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a second menu screen. As shown in FIG. 6, items are listed in the vertical direction on the screen, and a set value 602 is displayed on the right side of the items. In addition to the items that can be customized to the first menu, the second menu includes items that cannot be customized, such as personal authentication registration.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a detailed processing procedure in S309 of FIG.
First, in S701, the customization data recorded in the nonvolatile memory 56 is read, and items not displayed in the first menu are set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52. In step S702, items that are not displayed in the first menu set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52 are additionally arranged according to the display rule of the second menu so that the items are displayed in the second menu. indicate.

  Next, in S703, it is determined whether or not it has been detected that the user has operated the four-way button in the operation unit 70 in the vertical direction. As a result of the determination, if it is detected that the operation is performed in the vertical direction, the process proceeds to S704, and if it is not detected that the operation is performed in the vertical direction, the process proceeds to S705. In S704, the item selection state is moved in the direction operated in S703. When the movement is completed, the process proceeds to S705.

  In next step S705, it is determined whether or not the currently selected item (hereinafter referred to as the current item) is the “FUNC customization” item 601. As a result of the determination, if the current item is the “FUNC customization” item 601, the process proceeds to S 709, and if it is any other item, the process proceeds to S 706.

  In S706, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the four-way button in the operation unit 70 in the left-right direction. As a result of the determination, if it is detected that the operation is performed in the left-right direction, the process proceeds to S707 and the setting of the current item is changed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S708. On the other hand, if it is detected that the left / right operation has been performed, the process proceeds to S708. In S708, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the end button in the operation unit 70. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the end button has been operated, the menu process is terminated. If it is not detected that the end button has been operated, the process returns to S703.

  On the other hand, in S709, it is determined whether or not it is detected that the user has operated the four-way button in the operation unit 70 in the right direction while the item “FUNC customization” is selected. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the operation is performed in the right direction, the process proceeds to S711. S711 is the same processing as S509 in FIG. 5, and details will be described later. When the FUNC customization screen is closed after proceeding to the FUNC customization screen of S711 from the second menu, the display returns to the through image display state (S301). On the other hand, if it is not detected in S709 that the operation is performed in the right direction, the process proceeds to S710. In step S <b> 710, it is determined whether it is detected that the user has operated the SET button in the operation unit 70 in a state where the item “FUNC customization” is selected. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the SET button has been operated, the process proceeds to S711. If it is not detected that the SET button has been operated, the process proceeds to S708.

  Next, detailed operations for customizing the first menu in S509 of FIG. 5 and S711 of FIG. 7 will be described. In the FUNC customization item, an item to be displayed in the first menu is set.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for customizing the first menu. As shown in FIG. 8, the customization status of the large items 401 arranged in the vertical direction in the first menu can be confirmed by the presence or absence of a check mark 801 on the item icon. Furthermore, the items displayed on the first menu can be customized by switching the presence or absence of the check mark 801.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a detailed processing procedure in S509 of FIG. 5 and S711 of FIG.
First, in S901, the customization data recorded in the nonvolatile memory 56 is read, and the first menu item to be displayed is set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52. In step S902, the FUNC customization screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. Specifically, a check mark is added to an item of the first menu set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52, and a check mark is added to an item not set (temporarily stored) in the system memory 52. Do not attach. In this way, the FUNC customization screen is displayed so that the user can grasp the customization status.

  Next, in S903, it is determined whether or not it has been detected that the four-way button in the operation unit 70 has been operated. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the four-way button has been operated, the process proceeds to S904, and if it has not been detected, the process proceeds to S905. In S904, the selection state of the item icon is moved in the direction detected in S903 on the FUNC customization screen, and the process proceeds to S905.

  Next, in S905, it is determined whether it is detected that the SET button in the operation unit 70 has been operated. As a result of the determination, if it is detected that the SET button has been operated, the process proceeds to S906, and if it has not been detected, the process proceeds to S907. In S906, a process of inverting the check mark state of the currently selected item icon is performed. Specifically, when a check mark is added, the check mark is removed, and when the check mark is not added, a check mark is added, and the currently selected item icon is enabled in the first menu. Set whether or not to do. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S907.

  Next, in S907, it is determined whether or not it has been detected that the end button of the operation unit 70 has been operated. As a result of this determination, if it is detected that the end button has been operated, the process proceeds to S908. If it is not detected that the end button has been operated, the process returns to S903 to continue the customization setting.

  In S908, the customization data immediately after starting the FUNC customization screen is compared with the current customization data state to determine whether or not the customization setting has been changed. If the result of this determination is that customization settings have been changed, processing proceeds to S909, where the current customization data is recorded in the nonvolatile memory 56, and the customization data is overwritten. When the overwriting process ends, the process returns to the shooting standby state in S301 of FIG. On the other hand, if the result of determination in S908 is that customization settings have not been changed, the process returns to the shooting standby state in S301 of FIG.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating another example of the second menu screen. After the screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed, the item mark “ISO sensitivity” is unchecked by the processing of S906 in FIG. 9 and the second menu is displayed again. As shown in FIG. A second menu screen to which the item “sensitivity” is added is displayed. Note that the menu items arranged above the “ISO sensitivity” item in FIG. 10 are items that are displayed only in the second menu, are not displayed in the first menu, and are not displayed in the first menu. Not a candidate for customization in In the second menu, items that can be displayed only in the second menu are displayed from the top of the item row in this way, and subsequently, the first menu is not customized for display of the first menu. The items are arranged so that they are displayed. In this way, the arrangement of items that can be displayed only on the second menu is fixed regardless of the customization status of the first menu, so that the user can easily remember the position of the item. It should be noted that guidance may be given to the effect that an item has been added before displaying the second menu.

  Further, in this embodiment, when it is detected that the end button is operated in S907 of FIG. 9 after the customization setting is changed, the customization data is overwritten as it is, but a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not the change is reflected May be displayed. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for confirming overwriting of customization data. In this case, in S909, a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is first displayed. In the confirmation screen of FIG. 11, guidance is displayed to the effect that menu items that have not been displayed in the first menu due to customization settings are displayed in the second menu.

  In the present embodiment, even when the customization operation of the first menu is performed without opening the second menu, the menu items displayed on the second menu increase or decrease depending on the customization status. However, the user is not aware of this, and may misunderstand that menu items that have not been displayed as the first menu cannot be used unless the customization operation is performed again on the customization screen to display the first menu. is there. However, by displaying the guide as shown in FIG. 11, it is understood that menu items that are not set as the display target of the first menu by customization can be used by opening the second menu. Therefore, according to the characteristics of the first menu and the second menu, the user can arrange which menu items that can be customized are displayed so that the user can easily use them.

  The first menu is a screen that can be set with the through image displayed, and can be operated while checking the effectiveness of the setting change, and can be set without missing a sudden photo opportunity because it can be operated while viewing the subject. There is the feature that it is. That is, the user can easily use the menu item that the user wants to change quickly while viewing the subject in the first menu. However, if there are too many menu items to be displayed, it takes time to select a desired item in the first menu, so it is preferable to limit the display items to those frequently used.

  On the other hand, the second menu is characterized by a screen on which no through image is displayed. Accordingly, it is preferable that menu items related to settings that are not changed frequently or menu items related to settings that are considered unnecessary to be set while viewing through images are displayed on the second menu.

  When the SET button is operated in a state where the confirmation screen of FIG. 11 is displayed and “OK” is selected by the four-way button, the customization data is overwritten. On the other hand, when the SET button is operated in a state where “CANCEL” is selected by the four-way button, the process is terminated without overwriting the customization data. Note that the guidance that the menu item that was not the display target of the first menu in the customization setting is displayed on the second menu is displayed at a timing other than the display timing of the confirmation screen as shown in FIG. It is also good. For example, it may be displayed immediately before, immediately after, or simultaneously with the processing of S909, that is, when the setting is changed after the customization screen is finished.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when an item to be displayed on the first menu is customized, the validity / invalidity of the item is switched on the second menu. Thereby, even if the item is deleted from the first menu, the item can be set from the second menu. Furthermore, the number of items displayed on the second menu does not become excessive, and operability can be ensured. Further, the present invention can be applied when the first menu and the second menu are displayed at different timings.

  The control of the system control unit 50 may be performed by one piece of hardware, or the entire apparatus may be controlled by a plurality of pieces of hardware sharing the processing. Although the present invention has been described in detail based on the preferred embodiments thereof, the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments, and various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention are also included in the present invention. included. Furthermore, each embodiment mentioned above shows only one embodiment of this invention, and it is also possible to combine each embodiment suitably.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a digital camera has been described as an example.
