Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, according to the digital video camera disclosed in Patent Document 1, the default image and the object image are combined before being recorded in the external memory, and therefore, the object image before combination is not recorded in the external memory
Therefore, the subject image can only be used for the purpose of combining with the default image selected before the capture

[0037] FIG. 2 is a block diagram for showing the structure of the digital video camera 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. image 3 A and 3B are a front view and a rear view for showing the appearance of the digital video camera 1 .

[0038] The lens driving section 72 drives the zoom lens 40 to form an object image on the light receiving section of the image sensor 44 with a zoom factor in response to a signal input from the CPU 68 . The aperture driving section 74 drives the optical aperture 42 so that the amount of incident light on the image sensor 44 becomes equal to the amount of light in response to a signal input from the CPU 68 .

[0039] The image sensor 44 is an area-type image sensor formed of an on-chip color filter array composed of four complementary color filters C (cyan), M (violet), Y (yellow), and G (green), for storing Electric charge supplied by photoelectric conversion of light is received for a given time, and an electric signa...

[0075] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing directories of files stored in the removable memory 57 by the digital video camera according to the second embodiment. “¥removable” corresponds to the root directory of the removable memory 57 . In the first embodiment, components in the second embodiment that are substantially the same as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference symbols, and will not be discussed again.

[0076] The object image file having the extension ".exif" contains image data representing an object image formed on the image sensor 44 and created in the digital image processing section 52 when the shutter button 28 is pressed.

[0077] A file with an extension ".ust" is an association file for associating an object image file and a layout definition file with each other. The file name of the index file having the extension ".usm" is described in this association file. The file name of this associated file is the same as the file name of ...

Abstract

A digital camera capable of recording a subject image so that the subject image can be drawn as it is combined with a selected default image and that the subject image can be drawn separately from a selected default image. <??>The digital camera includes image processing means for creating subject image data based on output of an image sensor and default image setting means for storing subject image data in removable memory 57 together with information for associating background data with the subject image data, whereby the subject image data rather than the data provided by combining the subject image data and the background data is stored in the removable memory 57 and the subject image data and the background data are associated with each other. <IMAGE>

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a digital video camera. Background technique [0002] A digital video camera has uses such as recording an object as material for a composite image. The composite image is widely used for printing greeting cards with photos, photo stamps with frames, and the like. [0003] So far, digital video cameras for recording in an external memory a composite image provided by combining a digital image representing a boundary and a background (default image) with a digital image representing an object (object image) are known (for example, Refer to Patent Document 1). [0004] Patent Document 1: JP-A-2001-45352 [0005] However, according to the digital video camera disclosed in Patent Document 1, the default image and the object image are combined before being recorded in the external memory, and therefore, the object image before combination is not recorded in the external memory. Therefore, the object image can only be use...
