  • Printing device for the output of the image data of a digital camera
  • the invention relates to a printing device for printing images and / or graphic characters, in particular image data that have been generated with a digital camera.
  • Such digital cameras are known as small, handy cameras, in particular with zoom lenses.
  • the images photographed with these cameras can be stored in a different resolution in a digital image memory.
  • the viewfinder known in conventional cameras can be replaced by an, in particular pivotable, LCD monitor. Compression methods, in particular according to the JPEG method, can also be used to save the images.
  • a so-called smart media card is supplied with the camera, on which the photographed images can be saved.
  • the current storage capacity of this card is 4 MB.
  • the smart media card serves as removable storage.
  • a so-called MultiMediaCard (MMC) or a CompactFlash can also be provided as an exchangeable solid-state storage solution for mobile applications in the digital camera.
  • the images stored in the camera or on one of the memory cards can be displayed on a conventional television set and also transferred to personal computers and processed there. It is also possible to output the images to a printer, preferably using color printers.
  • the digital camera has a serial interface for outputting the image data. This becomes Data output connected to the TV or the printer via a cable.
  • the digital camera delivers images (still video) in a manner known per se. It is conceivable that it also records a sequence of images or a series of "moving images” * (video). In the latter case, it can, so to speak, film, at least for a short period of time. With the expected increase in the storage capacity of the memory used in the future - Cherenstein a still video digital camera can be used as a digital video camera.
  • the invention has for its object to increase the attractiveness of a digital camera.
  • FIG. 1 shows the printing device according to the invention for outputting data, in particular image data which have been generated with a digital camera, and
  • Figure 2 is a block diagram of the printing device.
  • the invention requires a digital camera to generate data, in particular image data and / or graphic characters and, if necessary, audio data.
  • a memory card is provided in the digital camera for storing the image data.
  • the memory card can be inserted, for example, into a slot on the digital camera.

  • the printing device DE serves for the visible representation of the data, for example on paper.
  • the data output as an image or as a graphic character, that is to say image data and text data, are output via the output slot AZ (see FIG. 1). Processing of the data or image data is generally understood to mean the selection of individual images, the enlargement or reduction and a selection of sections. Other processing steps are also included, such as are possible, for example, on a personal computer using appropriate image processing programs.
  • the FB remote control can also be used instead of the buttons on the BOF user interface.
