In addition, in the case of using an image file photographed by an expert as a source image file, the photographing setting information of an image photographed by an expert can be acquired in the same manner and photographed in an environment similar to a camera setting value selected by an expert. Therefore, it is possible to provide a good guide for beginner beginners.

In addition, users with DSLR or users who enjoy the manual functions can adjust the shooting settings more quickly. It is possible to provide the user with an opportunity to use a special environment even when the mode is not a generally set mode such as portrait, environment, and night view mode.

On the other hand, most beginners do not use complex manual functions, but mostly use automatic functions to take images. Thus, complex manual functions may not be necessary for most users. This may be because the process of setting up most cameras is complicated or lack of relevant knowledge.

However, according to the present invention, even for a novice, the photographing can be performed by the photographing setting information used by the expert on the specific image.

In addition, in the case of DSLRs using various lenses, the shutter speed, exposure, zoom level, etc., are adjusted accordingly. In this case, it may take more time to adjust the picture if you want to take pictures under the same condition as the previous picture after replacing the lens. However, according to the present invention, the photographing setting information used in the previous photograph can be called up and the photograph can be easily taken by the same photographing setting.

In addition, the manual camera is sometimes inconvenient to adjust if it is troublesome to set up or change frequently, or it may be frustrating to what condition it should be adjusted. At this time, it will be a good guide if you can get the same information by referring to the environment of the previous photograph or the photograph of the expert. In particular, it can be helpful to distribute example image files and to easily adjust to a special environment such as an image file, not a general environment such as person or landscape.
