Electronic Device Display Control for Continuous Shooting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging apparatuses struggle to allow users to quickly check the next shot's subject while displaying image review, as they either suppress live view during shooting standby or require users to alternate between live view and image review, making it inconvenient to confirm shot images and adjust framing.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with an imaging unit and display control unit that displays image review briefly after capturing an image, then switches to live view if the shutter button is held in a shooting standby state, allowing continuous shooting under locked exposure and focus conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image review is displayed after shooting to allow users to check shot images, then users can confirm shot images, but users cannot see live view during image review display and cannot check subjects for next shooting
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit dynamically switches between image review mode and live view mode based on user operation state. When the shutter button is released after pressing, the system transitions from static image review display to dynamic live view display, allowing users to quickly check the next subject without waiting for manual mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses user operation feedback (shutter button release state) to automatically control display mode transitions. The detection unit monitors whether the shutter button is released after pressing, and the display control unit responds by switching between image review and live view, creating a closed-loop feedback system that adapts to user needs.
2Productivity
If shooting standby operation is kept after shooting to allow continuous shooting, then users can perform continuous shooting under locked exposure/focus, but users cannot quickly check shot images
Solution Approach 1:
The display system dynamically adapts its behavior based on the shooting standby state. When shooting standby is maintained, the system prioritizes live view display for continuous shooting preparation. When shooting standby is released, it switches to image review display, creating a dynamic balance between continuous shooting capability and shot image verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary live view display during the shooting standby state to prepare for continuous shooting. This preliminary action allows users to check the next subject before actually pressing the shutter button again, improving workflow efficiency while maintaining the ability to review shot images when needed.
3Measurement precision
If image review is displayed for a fixed period after shooting, then users can check shot images, but the display time cannot be adjusted based on user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The image review display time is made dynamic rather than fixed. The display control unit adjusts the display duration based on real-time detection of shutter button release operations. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to adapt to different user needs, providing extended review time when users want to check images thoroughly and reduced review time when users are ready for continuous shooting.

AI summary
An electronic device comprises an imaging unit configured to capture image and an operation unit configured to receive a first operation to adjust a shooting setting for capturing image and a second operation to capture image based on the shooting parameter and write data based on the captured image in a recording medium. The electronic device displays, on a screen, image review based on the captured image after capturing image in response to the second operation and then displays live view which is generated by continuously capturing image. A period of displaying the image review is shorter if the first operation is detected successively after finishing detecting the second operation than if the first operation is not detected successively after finishing detecting the second operation.
