Problems solved by technology

However, frequent framing and zooming require not only laborious operations, but also various problems such as mechanical sounds caused by the operations being input as acoustic noise, or blurred vision caused by discontinuous changes in the angle of view, etc.
For example, when the screen is switched, the change of the screen becomes unnatural, and which one is displayed on the monitor screen during shooting is an issue.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0038] The first embodiment will be described using FIGS. 2 to 7 . FIG. 2 is an overall block diagram of the camera 1 using the present invention. In the camera 1 , a photographing lens 2 , an imaging element 3 , an AFE (Analog Front End) 4 , a selection unit 5 , and an image processing unit 8 are provided. The photographic lens 2 forms an incident image of the subject 20 on the imaging element 3 . The imaging element 3 is composed of a CCD or CMOS, and converts an imaged subject image into an electrical signal. The AFE 4 reads out an image signal from the imaging element 3, performs AGC processing, CDS processing, AD conversion, etc. on the read out image signal, and outputs it as digital image data. Furthermore, the AFE 4 also controls the driving of the imaging element 3 . The selection unit 5 selects and outputs the image data from the AFE 4 to two subsequent image processing units according to the type.

[0039] The image processing unit 8 performs various processing ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0061]2nd Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG.8, FIG.9. When performing zooming according to the first embodiment, when the image is rapidly switched from the entire area image to the specified portion image, the observer may feel a sense of discontinuity. Therefore, in the second embodiment, in order to reduce the sense of discontinuity, photographing control is performed such that when switching to the image of a designated portion and performing photographing, the image is gradually zoomed in and the aperture is gradually reduced. Hereinafter, this is referred to as a transition effect (photography). In addition, in the first embodiment, the method of selectively recording both or one of the global image and the specified image was described, but in the following second embodiment, an example of selectively recording one of them will be described. Of course, it is also possible to record both parties. In addition, since the block diagram of the camera used is the same as...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0072] 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated using FIG.10, FIG.11. The third embodiment relates to a method of viewing two images recorded in the first and second embodiments during reproduction. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the method of viewing the two images. 11 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 12 when two images are reproduced. In addition, the camera 1 of the first embodiment is used as the playback device used.

[0073] First, the global image is reproduced (step S61). At the same time, it is judged whether or not the designating part image is attached to the global image (step S62). When the designation part image exists (step S62: YES), display indicating that the designation part image exists is performed (step S63). FIG. 11(A) is the screen displayed at this time, for example, the character "S" is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen. This "S" is a display (12e) indicating that there is an image of the specifying part.

Abstract

The invention provides a camera and recording method of camera. The said camera takes two pictures at the same time and performs more effective photography. When the photography of universe image for the whole is switched to a part image, namely the operation of photography of the appointment part image, muti-frame display is performed on the main frame of the photography image and the sub frame of auxilliary image. Firstly, on staring to switch, the universe image is displayed on the sub frame (12c), and the appointment part image is displayed on the sub frame (12d). And, the photography image is switched to make the universe image gradually amplify to appointment part image, and the universe image is always on the sub frame (12c).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a camera, and more particularly to a camera that captures two screens of the entire screen and a part of the screen at the same time. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, framing and zooming during photography have been achieved by changing the orientation of the camera or performing optical focusing. However, frequent framing and zooming not only require effort in operation, but also have various problems such as input of mechanical sound caused by the operation as acoustic noise, discontinuous change of the angle of view, and blurring. [0003] Therefore, an imaging device is disclosed that simultaneously captures two different images independently of an optical unit (Patent Document 1). In this imaging device, signals are read from different regions of the imaging element and recorded as moving image signals. [0004] And, as a camera that obtains two images from one imaging element, a camera that alternat...
