Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a digital camera with a preview function and a method for using the written description of an image of interest, especially a sub-picture as an image preview. Digital camera and its preview method. [Prior Art] The first figure is a block diagram of a pre-view system circuit block of a TFT-LCD used in a conventional digital camera. Referring to the first figure, the object image 105 is optically converted into a series of voltage signals 115 through the imaging device φ 110, and the voltage signal 115 is separated into three primary color signals 12S by a color filter array (CFA) 120. . At the time of shooting (4), the ambient illumination may be too bright and dark, or the color of the object may be deviated due to different light sources (such as sunlight, crane lights, fluorescent lamps, etc.), and a white balance correction must be made for the light source. (Side touch (4). Touch the primary color signal 125 to the white balance circuit 13〇, and complete the white balance correction of the raw image signal 135. With the different types of the 11G of the photographing device, the color obtained after the same object is photographed. The signal is also different, so it is necessary to color the positive component (Cd〇r C〇1Tection) for the characteristic of the photographic device. Then, the image signal is sent to the color correction device 140 to adjust its color performance, and then the image signal 145 is generated. In addition, the voltage generated by the photosensitive pixels in the photographic device (10) and the light transmission performance of the TFT_LCD 19 , are both non-linear (1ώ(10) relationship. The brightness performance of the shooting can be correctly stored and displayed on the TFT LCD 190 t 'The image signal 145 must be applied to the gamma correction C_Ctl〇n'. Therefore, the image signal 145 is sent to the gamma correction circuit 15A to obtain the corrected image signal 155. The image signal 155 after I is positive must be subjected to hue conversion (4) sinking e t_f_) 'The three primary colors such as red (8), green (6), blue (8) 3 201015977, etc. are converted into luminance and chroma (chr〇minance). ), the separated modes are Y, "Cb, &; where γ represents brightness, and cb and Cr represent chroma. Convert to brightness 'two color? The main purpose of the formula is because the human eye is more sensitive to brightness than chroma. The image signal 155 is converted into Y, Cb, and Cr by the color signal conversion circuit 16A through the color conversion circuit 16A to obtain an image signal (6). The image signal 165 is further sharpened and sharpened by the edge enhancement 171 to generate the image signal 175. At this time, the image size of the image signal 175 depends on the photographing device 11〇, and the size may be different from the image size that the ❹I90 can display. In order to display the full image in the 19th frame, the video money 175 is acid-stained in a fresh manner, so the image signal 175' is broken using the plane image 175' to obtain an image signal 185. Finally, the image signal i85 is introduced into the TFT-LCD 190, and the image signal 185 is correctly displayed. It can be seen from the above that the pre-view system of the conventional digital camera can only provide a preview of the effect of the single image, and can not provide the effect preview of other images of the user, so as to achieve direct viewing comparison of the kneading effect. Therefore, the conventional digital camera cannot provide a user who generally refers to the concept of no photography to 'intuitively select an appropriate facet'. In view of the above, the present invention provides a digital camera with a preview function and A method of previewing images of interest by using a sub-surface, especially a digital camera using a sub-surface as an image-preview. In the case of LCD preview (Live_view/preview), a PictUre inPicture is used. Viewing the effect of adding or subtracting exposure (EV), white balance or contrast in the sub-picture allows the user to more intuitively select the appropriate shot. The digital camera with pre-view function of the invention comprises: a lens, a charge coupled unit, an exposure value calculation processing unit, a white balance/contrast calculation processing unit, a liquid crystal display panel, a sub-male image processing unit, A memory unit and a control button for the 201015977. The lens is used to capture an optical image. The charge coupled unit is coupled to the lens for converting the optical image into a digital image. The exposure value calculation processing unit is coupled to the charge coupled unit for calculating an exposure value of the digital image and generating a digital image of the at least one different exposure value different from the exposure value. The white balance/contrast calculation processing unit is coupled to the charge coupled unit ’ for calculating the white balance/contrast of the digital image and producing a digital image of at least one phase white balance/contrast different from the white balance/contrast. The sub-image processing unit is coupled to the charge coupled unit and the exposure value
