Embodiment Construction

[0019] Now, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration of a digital camera 1 or photographing apparatus according to the present invention. The digital camera 1 has some traditional functions, such as AF, AE, AWB, and also has a shooting part, which includes CCD2 and DSP / CPU3. The CCD 2 is used to convert an optical image of an object focused thereon by a focus lens and a zoom lens (not shown) into an analog image signal, and output the converted analog image signal of the object. The DSP / CPU 3 includes a one-chip microcomputer having digital signal processing functions including data compression and expansion functions, and controls various parts of the digital camera 1 .

[0021] DSP / CPU3 is connected to a timing generator (TG)4 for driving CCD2. TG4 is connected to unit circuit 5 which can receive the image signal output from CCD2. The...

Abstract

Camera apparatus and a method of taking a picture are provided, dissolving inconvenience which a user of the camera will meet when taking a picture of him or her. The camera has a provisional photographing mode and a real photographing mode. In the provisional photographing mode, a human model image is displayed on a through image G2 in an overlapping manner on a monitor, and the user moves the human model image to his or her desired position in the through image and records in a memory composition indicating image G4 representing the conditions of the through image with the human model image staying at the user's desired position. After the provisional photographing process, the through image G2 is synthesized with the composition indicating image G4 in a semi transparent manner, and the synthesized image G5 is displayed on the monitor in place of the through image. When a shutter is operated, a normal photographing process is performed to record a photographed image. When the user asks a third person to take a picture of him or her, the user performs the provisional photographing process and then asks the third person to take a picture. The third person operates the shutter at the time when the through image G2 overlaps with the composition indicating image G4, and then a picture of the composition the user intended is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a photographing apparatus and an imaging method for a digital camera in which an image of an object is stored as image data. Background technique [0002] In general, digital still cameras (digital cameras) in which image data of objects are stored in various recording media have been widely used in various occasions of daily life, because digital cameras are easy to use, and regardless of whether the user is a professional photographer Thanks to the various convenient functions of digital cameras, such as automatic focus (AF), automatic exposure (AE), automatic white balance (AWB), and the appropriate settings according to the scene to be shot Auto setting function for shutter speed, focus and white balance. Digital cameras have some unique features that conventional silver salt cameras do not have, such as the ability to display through images and recorded images on their liquid crystal displays, ...
