Description of the invention (5-1) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a camera, and more particularly to a composite camera that can provide traditional photos and digital images. 5-2 Background of the Invention: A camera is a machine commonly used in daily life. It can be divided into many different types according to different standards. If the size of the film is used as the criterion, the cameras can also be subdivided into several categories, the most famous of which is the 35-mm camera. In order to make it easier to use * 35-rara cameras are also becoming thinner and shorter. FIG. 1A is a top view of a conventional camera, which includes a function display panel 103 and a shutter button 101 that display various function information of the camera. Fig. 1 β shows a front view of a conventional camera, which includes a viewing window 102, a flash 10 04, a lens 108, and a photometer 106. Through the viewfinder 102, users can see the landscape they want to shoot. The photometer 1 06 can detect the brightness of the environment and thereby provide the information needed to control the flash device 104. Although the 35-mra camera is very convenient to use, many restrictions on the use of traditional photos still need to be overcome. Therefore, if the photos can be converted into digital materials, the flexibility of using photos will be greatly increased. With this form of digital data, many devices (for example, televisions, personal computers, printers) can provide image processing capabilities, and bring the paper standard to the Chinese national standard (CNS) Α4 for users Specifications (210 × 297 mm)-^ --.-------- ί equipment --- "-^ 1 order ------ line--'(Please read the note on the back first 阋'Item to fill out this page again) Printed by the Consumer Standards Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs t 419613 Printed by the Consumer Standards Cooperative of the Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () Many benefits. The scanner is a device commonly used to scan traditional photos into digital images. However, 14 is often used with a computer. Without a computer, traditional photos cannot be converted into digital images. In addition, the scanner can only read data for a flat image, but cannot capture a stereo image. What's more, the scanner cannot usually be carried with the camera due to its weight. Therefore, even though the scanner can convert photos into digital images, it is still very inconvenient to use. With the increasing popularity of digital cameras, through image sensors (such as CCD elements, components), digital cameras can capture reflected light from objects and instantly convert this reflected light into digital images. According to the number of pixels (p 1 xe 1), digital cameras can generally be classified into several different levels. The number of pixels of the _th level digital camera is less than 350,000 pixels. The price of this level of camera is usually not very expensive, but the photos it prints are far from traditional photos. The number of pixels of second-level digital cameras is between 350,000 and 2 million. Cameras of this level are the mainstream in the current market, and their prices are usually more expensive than those of first-level cameras. However, the quality of the photos produced by this class of cameras is still not as good as traditional photos. The second-level digital camera has more than 2 million pixels. This level of camera takes almost the same quality as traditional photos. Although the quality of the photos taken by this class of cameras is comparable to that of traditional photos, this type of camera is still quite expensive and it has been slow to make it popular. In summary, it seems that various reasons cannot be used within a reasonable price.
