By removing the wall member of the main panel 21A and replacing it with a wall member having a different light reflectance, the lighting environment from the front in the imaging space changes. By removing the wall member of the side panel 21B and replacing it with a wall member having a different light reflectance, the lighting environment from the left or left front in the imaging space changes. By removing the wall member of the side panel 21C and replacing it with a wall member having a different light reflectance, the lighting environment from the right or right front in the imaging space can be changed.

[0041] The configuration of the replaceable wall member provided on the imaging space side of the front wall portion 21 is not limited to the above. The replaceable wall member may be attached to at least one of the main panel 21A, the side panel 21B, and the side panel 21C. For example, the replaceable wall member may be attached to only one of the main panel 21A, the side panel 21B, and the side panel 21C, or may be attached to only two of the panels.

[0042] The replaceable wall members provided on the imaging space side of the housing 10 are not limited to those provided on the rear wall 11 and the front wall 21. A wall member configured to be replaceable with a wall member having a different light reflectance may be provided on the imaging space side of at least one of the top wall 31, the bottom wall 32, and the frames 34, 35, and 36, for example.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a wall member having a different reflectance on its front surface and its back surface is used as a replaceable wall member provided on the imaging space side of the housing 10. When such a wall member is used, the lighting environment of the imaging space can be changed by removing the wall member that is provided with its front surface facing the imaging space side and reattaching it so that the back surface faces the imaging space side.

[0062] At least a portion of the transparent member 55 is configured to be replaceable with a transparent member having a different light transmittance. By removing at least a portion of the transparent member 55 and replacing it with a transparent member having a different light transmittance, the lighting environment of the imaging space can be changed. The transparent member 55 may include a plurality of transparent members. In this case, at least one of the plurality of transparent members may be configured to be replaceable with a transparent member having a different light transmittance, and it is desirable that all of the plurality of transparent members be configured to be replaceable with transparent members having different light transmittances. For example, the lower transparent member 55A and the upper transparent member 55B may be configured to be separable from each other, and the lower transparent member 55A and the upper transparent member 55B may be configured to be replaceable with transparent members having different light transmittances independently of each other.

[0063] <Action and effect>

[0064] In the embodiment described above, the photo sticker creator 1 includes an illumination device 50 having a light source 51, multiple reflective members 53A-53D that reflect the light from the light source 51, and a transparent member 55 that transmits the light from the light source 51. At least one of the multiple reflective members 53A-53D is configured to be replaceable with a reflective member having a different light reflectance. With this configuration, the lighting environment illuminating the subject, such as the brightness, color, and direction of the lighting, can be changed by replacing the reflective members 53A-53D without replacing the entire illumination device 50. This makes it possible to provide a photo sticker creator 1 that can easily change the lighting environment. Furthermore, changing the lighting environment can change the impression that the photo sticker creator 1 gives to the subject.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the light reflectance of the front surface of the reflecting members 53A to 53D is different from the light reflectance of the rear surface of the reflecting members 53A to 53D, so that the lighting environment that illuminates the subject during image capture can be changed by attaching the reflecting members 53A to 53D upside down. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a replacement reflecting member separately, and the lighting environment during image capture can be easily changed.

[0066] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the photo sticker creator 1 includes a housing 10 having a plurality of wall members provided on the imaging space side. At least one of the wall members of the housing 10 is configured to be replaceable with a wall member having a different light reflectance. With this configuration, the lighting environment illuminating the subject, such as the brightness, color, and direction of the lighting, can be changed by replacing the wall member without replacing the entire housing 10. Therefore, it is possible to provide a photo sticker creator 1 that can easily change the lighting environment.

[0067] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, since the light reflectance of the front surface of the wall member is different from the light reflectance of the rear surface of the wall member, the lighting environment for illuminating the subject can be changed by reattaching the wall member upside down. Therefore, there is no need to prepare replacement wall members, and the lighting environment can be easily changed.

[0068] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, at least a portion of the transparent member 55 is configured to be replaceable with a transparent member having a different light transmittance, and therefore, by replacing the transparent member, it is possible to change the lighting environment illuminating the subject during image capture, such as the brightness, color, direction, etc. of the lighting, without having to replace the entire lighting device 50. Therefore, the lighting environment can be easily changed.

[0069] Moreover, the photo sticker creating machine 1 in the above embodiment further includes a display device 70 that displays an image captured by an imaging device 60 that captures an image of a subject in the imaging space of the housing 10, and a first wired device 80 (editing device) for editing the image displayed on the display device 70, and the display device 70 and the first wired device 80 are provided in the imaging space. With this configuration, the subject does not need to move outside the imaging space to edit the captured image, thereby improving the convenience of the photo sticker creating machine 1.

[0070] Moreover, the photo sticker creating machine 1 in this embodiment further includes a sticker outlet 40, which is provided in the imaging space. With this configuration, the subject does not need to move outside the imaging space to obtain the photo sticker, thereby improving the convenience of the photo sticker creating machine 1.

[0071] In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the multiple wall members that make up the surface of the housing 10 facing the imaging space are configured to be replaceable with plate members having different light reflectivities, and the multiple reflective members 53A to 53D of the lighting device 50 are configured to be replaceable with reflective members having different light reflectivities (an example in which both the housing 10 and the lighting device 50 bring about a change in the lighting environment), but it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which only one of the housing 10 and the lighting device 50 brings about a change in the lighting environment.

[0072] Although the present invention is described in the claims of this application as an independent claim, a claim that has only one claim to which it is referred, and a claim that alternatively refers to two or more other claims (multiple claims), the present invention is not limited to these. The present invention also includes inventions that can be described as claims that alternatively refer to two or more other claims (multiple claims) and claims that alternatively refer to two or more other claims (multiple-multi claims).

[0073] As described above, according to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a photo sticker creating machine that can simplify the change of the lighting environment when taking a photograph.
