一例では、前記付加情報表示部の複数段は、前記評価ランク表示マークを表示する第1段と、前記複数の処理内容表示マークのうちの少なくとも一つを表示する第2段とを含む。
本発明の他の側面は、画像を撮像する撮像手段と、上記構成の情報付加装置とを備えた電子カメラを提供する。
図2に示すように、カメラ11は、ズームレンズなどの複数のレンズからなるレンズ部23(図2では図面の簡略化のため1つのレンズのみ図示)と、レンズ部23を通過した被写体光をレンズ部23の像空間側において結像させる撮像素子24をカメラ本体12内に有している。撮像素子24の出力端子には、AFE(Analog Front End)25と画像処理回路26が直列に接続されている。画像処理回路26はデータバス28を介してMPU(Micro Processing Unit)27に接続されている。
さて、カメラ11のモードが再生モードである場合においてユーザがレーティング切り替えボタン17aを押圧操作すると、図3に示すように、モニタ15の画面15aは、通常の再生表示用画面からレーティング用画面に切り替わる。すなわち、その画面15a内には撮像画像35と共に帯状の付加情報表示部36とが重畳表示されるようになる。画面15a内における撮像画像35の表示領域の下側余白には、その撮像画像35の画像ファイルに関する各種情報が表示される。図示した例では、ファイル名(DSC)、ファイル番号(0112)、ファイルフォーマット形式(JPEG)、撮影年月日(2009/07/16)、及び撮影時刻(10:03:59)が表示される。
(1)MPU27は、撮像画像35がモニタ15の画面15a上に表示されている状態で、レーティング設定ダイヤル17が第1の操作として原点位置よりも第1の方向に回動操作されると、撮像画像35に設定される評価ランクの大きさを示す☆印アイコン37の個数を増大させる。MPU27は、レーティング設定ダイヤル17が第2の操作として原点位置(即ち、評価ランクが最下位の評価ランクにある状態)よりも第2の方向側に回動操作された場合には、削除アイコン38をモニタ15の画面15a上に重畳表示させる。すなわち、レーティング設定ダイヤル17に対する一連の回動操作により、撮像画像35の識別処理を実行するためのレーティング情報(評価ランク情報)、及び、この撮像画像35に対して識別処理とは異なる非レーティング処理を実行するための非レーティング処理情報を、その時点で処理対象となっている撮像画像35の画像ファイル(データファイル)に対して迅速且つ容易に付加することができる。
・上記実施形態において、図12に示す第1変形例のように、付加情報表示部36における第1の表示領域36aに対して右方に隣接する第3の表示領域36eを境界線36fで区画して表示するようにしてもよい。第3の表示領域36eには、例えば下記から選択される一又は複数の処理内容表示マークとしてのアイコンを表示してもよい。
