Electronic camera with digital effect filter

Abstract

In an electronic camera (10) carrying means (72) for carrying digital filter means are constructed to enable an updating and / or expanding of the digital filter means in order to enable and provide a high-quality digital effect filter for photographing. Preferably, take-up means (70) are provided for taking up the carrying means (72) which are realized as a plug-in card (72).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic camera including a digital filter. Background technique [0002] One such electronic camera is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 04-081176, wherein the electronic camera is configured as a so-called electronic still camera. The electronic still camera is capable of correcting a generated digital image by means of a digital filter. This digital filter calculates what would be achieved in conventional chemical photography if the aperture was fully opened if only the in-focus subject were in focus. The rest of the image will be very blurry, so that in-focus objects are highlighted. [0003] The known electronic still camera provides a recording system for recording digital images on a recording medium, and a reproducing system for outputting an image to an existing digital image in the case of correcting the data image using the above-mentioned digital filter means. Display devices of known el...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, a disadvantage of known electronic still cameras is that the digital filtering means only contain limited functionality

Another disadvantage of known electronic still cameras is that digital filtering means can only be applied after the digital image has been recorded

The drawbacks of this object-specific approach to digital filtering usually relate to the quality and creativity of the digital filtering device's effects, respectively.
