Problems solved by technology

Although it is possible to print from a part of a moving image, the image quality is lower than printing from a still image, so there is a problem that moving image data is difficult to print

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0022] use Figure 1 to Figure 5 This embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, still image shooting is performed at an appropriate timing using a camera capable of still image shooting by interruption during movie shooting.

[0023] In a still image, in order to obtain a good-looking photograph, it is desirable to shoot the still image at an appropriate timing (decisive moment). Furthermore, in order to obtain a still image worthy of viewing even when printed, it is desirable that the still image is composed of multiple pixels that make full use of the number of pixels of the imaging element. On the other hand, in order to capture a still image using multiple pixels, it takes a long time for reading and image processing. Furthermore, in order to perfectly reproduce this decisive moment on a screen such as a print when shooting this still ima...

Abstract

Disclosed is a camera which analyzes an image signal output periodically from an image pickup device to determine a timing suitable for shooting a still image, and acquires an image signal for a still image having a larger number of pixels based on the determination result. The suitable timing can be determined by using a moment of, for example, a change in the moving direction of a moving subject, a pausing of a moving subject, or a change in a voice to be input. The image signal for a still image can stay recorded only when a camera user gives an instruction to shoot a still image within a predetermined period from the determination.

Description

[0001] This application is based on and claims priority based on the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-124474 filed on April 27, 2006 and the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-032226 filed on February 13, 2007. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a digital camera, and more specifically, to a camera capable of shooting a still image at a shutter timing determined by the camera. Background technique [0003] Looking at the camera market in recent years, it is possible to read a large amount of image signals at high speed in a short period of time due to improvements in imaging sensors such as CCDs. In an imaging element with high pixels, for example, 5 megapixels or more, readout speed has conventionally required tens of milliseconds, but recently, an imaging element capable of reading out at 60 fps has also been proposed. [0004] Therefore, a large number of digital cameras capable of shooting moving images as well as cameras for still...
