BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0038]
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a digital still camera 1 common to each embodiment of the present invention. The digital still camera 1 has a lens unit 2, and an image sensor 3 composed of a CCD is disposed behind the lens unit 2. The output signal from the image sensor 3 is processed by the signal processing circuit 4 according to the image quality mode, and is taken into the CPU 5. The CPU 5 is connected to the image sensor 3, the clock unit 6, and the video RAM 7, as well as the key input unit 8, the ROM 10, the RAM 11, the memory card 12, and the I / O port 9.
[0039]
The clock unit 6 is for clocking the current date and time, and the key input unit 8 is operated when the power is turned on / off, and when the video is stored in the memory card 12. Various keys such as a shutter button, a mode setting key for selectively setting a photographing mode including an ID photograph mode and a reproducing mode are provided. The ROM 10 stores a program of the CPU 5 and a print size, such as a vertical and horizontal size of an ID photograph for a visa and a passport, and a print vertical and horizontal size when using printing paper of L size, A4 size, and the like. Operates based on the program, and controls each unit using the RAM 11 as a work memory. The memory card 12 is detachable, and is a memory for recording subject image data and the like generated in a photographing mode and an ID photograph mode described later. The I / O port 9 stores image data and the like recorded on the memory card 12. Through a serial I / O terminal 15 to an external printer.
[0040]
The RAM 11 is also used as a buffer for temporarily storing image data of a subject digitized by the signal processing circuit 4 after being imaged by the image sensor 3. The image data temporarily stored in the RAM 11 at the time of operation of the shutter button is compressed (encoded) by a photographing process by the CPU 5, and finally, as a still image data having a predetermined format (JPEG format or the like) as a memory card. 12 is recorded.
[0041]
The video RAM 7 stores, at predetermined timings, image data of a subject image based on an output signal from the image sensor 3 processed by the signal processing circuit 4 in the ID photo mode and the photographing mode. When the display circuit 13 drives the display unit 14 based on the image data, the subject image formed on the image sensor 3 by the lens unit 2 is displayed as a through image on the display unit 14 including an LCD. In the reproduction mode, the image data read from the memory card 12 is stored, and based on the image data, the display circuit 13 drives the display unit 14 to display the image data based on the recorded image data. The image is displayed on the display unit 14.
[0042]
In the present embodiment according to the above configuration, when the user operates the mode setting key with the key input unit 8 to select the ID photograph mode as the photographing mode, the CPU 5 executes the processing based on the program stored in the ROM 10 as shown in FIG. The control is executed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, first, a process of selecting the type of the ID photo is executed (step S101). In the process in step S101, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the display unit 14 displays the ID photograph selection menu of "1. visa" to "4. When one of the ID photo selection menus is selected by operating the input unit 8, the type of the ID photo selected is determined and stored in the RAM 11.
[0043]
Next, a process for selecting a print paper size is executed (step S102). In the process in step S102, as shown in FIG. 3B, a print size selection menu of “1.L size” to “3.B5 size” is displayed on the display unit 14, and the user enters the key input unit. When any one of the print size selection menus is selected by the operation of step 8, the selected print size is determined and stored in the RAM 11. At this time, if the printer owned by the user is, for example, an L size dedicated printer that can print only on L size paper, “1. L size” is selected.
[0044]
Subsequently, the frame (frame) of the selected ID photo is displayed (with guidance) on the through image in a size corresponding to the selected print size (step S103). That is, as described above, the image data of the subject image based on the output signal from the image sensor 3 processed by the signal processing circuit 4 is stored in the video RAM 7 at each predetermined timing in the ID photo mode. . When the display circuit 13 drives the display unit 14 based on the image data, the subject image formed on the image sensor 3 by the lens unit 2 is displayed as a through image on the display unit 14 including an LCD.
[0045]
The entire through image displayed on the display unit 14 is an image to be printed at the print size (L size in this example) selected in step S102, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are known (as described above). Stored in the ROM 10 as described above.) In step S101 described above, the type of the ID photo is selected, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are already known (also stored in the ROM 10). Accordingly, assuming that the entire through image displayed on the display unit 14 is the print size selected in step S102, the relative ID of the selected ID photo to be displayed on the display unit 14 is determined based on the relative relationship to the print size. The size of the frame can be calculated. Therefore, the CPU 5 performs this calculation and displays the frame of the ID photo having a size corresponding to the print size on the through image (preferably, the center portion on the through image).
[0046]
Alternatively, the frame of the ID photo (for visa, passport, resume, car driving license) to be displayed on the display unit 14 corresponding to the print size (L size, A4 size, B5 size) in the ROM 10 in advance. A table storing the size data is provided, and the size data of the corresponding frame is read out from the table, and the frame of the ID photo having the size corresponding to the print size is displayed on the through image.
[0047]
Therefore, as a result of the processing in step S103, as shown in FIG. 3C, the through image S displayed on the display unit 14 is selected to have a size corresponding to the selected print size P. The frame F of the ID photo is displayed on the display unit 14. That is, as the print size P increases, the frame F is displayed relatively smaller. When the print size P is the same, the frame F becomes relatively smaller as the size of the selected ID photo increases. Will be displayed larger in size.
[0048]
In this step S103, guidance G such as "don't laugh", "white background", and "do not pin" is also displayed outside frame F. Therefore, the photographer visually recognizes and follows the guidance G, or instructs the subject, so that an image that becomes an appropriate ID photograph can be captured and recorded under conditions other than the size described below.
[0049]
Next, the camera waits until the shutter button is pressed (step S104). During this time, the photographer looks at the display unit 14 so that the upper body of the subject falls within the frame F within an appropriate range. Or the distance from the subject or the like. When the photographer operates the shutter button with the subject's upper body within the proper range within the frame F (step S104; YES), the photographing process described above is executed (step S105), and the through image is displayed. Is recorded on the memory card 12 and the print size information selected in step S102 is also recorded on the memory card 12 in association with the image data (step S106).
[0050]
Then, when the photographing of the ID photograph is completed in this way, the memory card 12 is removed from the digital still camera 1 and set in the printer owned by the user. Alternatively, with the memory card 12 attached to the digital still camera 1, a printer owned by the user is connected to the I / O terminal 15, and the memory card 12 is connected via the I / O port 9 and the serial I / O terminal 15. Output the image data recorded in the printer to the printer.
[0051]
Here, when the printer owned by the user is an L size dedicated printer as in this example, the printer prints an image based on the image data in L size. At this time, in this example, since the L size has been selected by the processing in step S102, a frame F having the length and width of the ID photo selected in step S101 is displayed on the image printed in L size. Is printed, and an image in which the upper body of the subject is fit within the frame F in an appropriate size and range is printed. Therefore, after printing, by cutting the printing paper along the frame, it is possible to complete the ID photo of the specified size that can be used, and the upper body image is printed in an appropriate size and range. .
[0052]
If the printer to be used is capable of printing on paper of different sizes, such as L size, A4 size, B5 size, etc., based on the print size information recorded in the memory card 12 in association with the image data, The printer performs printing at the print size. Therefore, as described above, a frame F having the vertical and horizontal sizes of the ID photo selected in step S101 is printed on the printed image, and the subject having the proper size and range is set in the frame F. The image containing the upper body is printed. Therefore, after printing, by cutting the printing paper along the frame, it is possible to complete the ID photo of the specified size that can be used, and the upper body image is printed in the appropriate size and range .
[0053]
In the present embodiment, the image data having the frame F is recorded on the memory card 12 by the process in step S106. However, only the image data is recorded without recording the frame data. It may be. Even in this case, since the upper body image is printed in an appropriate size and range according to the type of the ID photo selected in step S101, the size of the selected ID photo is changed after printing. By cutting the ID photo, it is possible to complete an ID photograph having a usable size and having an upper body image printed in an appropriate size and range.
[0054]
Alternatively, only the image inside the frame F may be recorded without recording the data of the frame, and the data outside the frame F may be recorded as white data. Even in this case, if only the printed portion of the printing paper is cut after printing, an ID photo of the specified size that can be used and the upper body image printed in the appropriate size and range is completed. Can be done. Further, printing of unnecessary portions can be avoided to save ink.
[0055]
Also, instead of the processing in step S102, when the ID photo mode is set or when the type of ID photo is selected in step S101, it is suitable to print the ID photo or the ID photo of the selected type ( A process for automatically selecting a (necessary and sufficient) print paper size may be performed, and the print paper size information automatically selected in step S106 may be recorded on the memory card 12 in association with the image data.
[0056]
(Second embodiment)
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure according to the second embodiment of the present invention. When the ID photo mode is selected, the CPU 5 executes control based on a program stored in the ROM 10 according to a flowchart shown in FIG. That is, similarly to steps S101 and S102 in the flowchart of FIG. 2 described above, the process of selecting the type of ID photo (step S201) and the process of selecting the print size (step S202) are executed.
[0057]
Subsequently, the frame of the selected ID photo is displayed (with guidance) on the through image (step S203). By the processing in step S203, as shown in FIG. 3C, the frame F is displayed on the through image S displayed on the display unit 14, and the guidance G is displayed. However, unlike the processing in step S103 described above, the frame F has a fixed size stored in the ROM 10 in advance. Since the image in the frame F is resized as described later, the size of the frame F is preferably large.
[0058]
Next, the digital still camera 1 waits until the shutter button is pressed (step S204), during which the digital still camera 1 holds the subject's upper body in a proper range within the frame F while viewing the display unit 14. Or the distance from the subject or the like. Then, when the photographer operates the shutter button with the upper body of the subject within the proper range within the frame F (step S204; YES), the photographing process is performed to execute the encoding process and the like (step S205). ).
[0059]
Subsequently, the size of the photographed image (the image in the frame F) that can be arranged on the recorded image is determined according to the print size selected in step S202. That is, the print size selected in step S202 is stored in the ROM 10 in advance, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are known. In step S201, the type of the ID photo is selected, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are known. Therefore, assuming that the entire through image displayed on the display unit 14 is a recorded image of the print size selected in step S202, the relative relationship to the recorded image indicates that the captured image of the image in the frame F The size can be calculated. Therefore, the CPU 5 performs this calculation to determine the size of the image (captured image) in the frame F of the ID photo having a size corresponding to the print size.
[0060]
Alternatively, the image (photographed image) in the frame of the ID photo (for visa, passport, resume, for automobile driver's license) corresponding to the print size (L size, A4 size, B5 size) in the ROM 10 in advance. A table storing the size data is provided, and the size data of the corresponding photographed image is read from this table to determine the size of the photographed image.
[0061]
Next, it is determined whether a plurality of photographed images having the determined size can be arranged on the recorded image of the print size (step S207). If a plurality of sheets cannot be arranged and only one sheet can be arranged (step S207; NO), as shown in FIG. 5A, the image is resized (reduced or enlarged) to the size determined in step S206. Image data in which one processed image A is arranged on the recorded image B is generated (step S208).
[0062]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, when a plurality of photographed images A can be arranged on the recorded image B (step S207; YES), the number of photographed images A that can be arranged on the recorded image B Is determined (step S209). Then, as shown in the figure, image data in which a plurality of (three in this example) photographed images A that have been resized (reduced or enlarged) to the size determined in step S206 are generated on the recorded image B as shown in the figure ( Step S210). When the processing of step S208 or step S210 is performed, the image data of the recorded image B in which the photographed image A is arranged together with the frame F is recorded on the memory card 12, and the print size information is also associated with the image data. The data is recorded on the memory card 12 (step S211).
[0063]
When the photographing of the ID photograph is completed in this way, the memory card 12 is removed from the digital still camera 1 and set in the printer owned by the user. Alternatively, with the memory card 12 attached to the digital still camera 1, a printer owned by the user is connected to the I / O terminal 15, and the memory card 12 is connected via the I / O port 9 and the serial I / O terminal 15. Output the image data recorded in the printer to the printer.
[0064]
Here, when the printer owned by the user is an L size dedicated printer as in this example, the printer prints an image based on the image data in L size. At this time, in this example, since the L size has been selected by the processing in step S202, a frame F having the length and width of the ID photo selected in step S201 is displayed on the image printed in L size. One or a plurality of images A in which the subject's upper body fits within the proper size and range are printed on one print sheet. Therefore, after printing, by cutting the printing paper along the frame, one or more ID photos of the specified size that can be used, and the upper body image is printed in the appropriate size and range Can be completed.
[0065]
If the printer to be used is capable of printing on paper of different sizes, such as L size, A4 size, B5 size, etc., based on the print size information recorded in the memory card 12 in association with the image data, The printer performs printing at the print size. Therefore, similarly to the above, the frame F having the length and width of the ID photo selected in step S201 is printed on the printed image, and the subject is set in the frame F in an appropriate size and range. The image A in which the upper body is contained is printed on one or more sheets of printing paper. Therefore, after printing, by cutting the printing paper along the frame, it is possible to complete the ID photo of the specified size that can be used, and the upper body image is printed in the appropriate size and range .
[0066]
Moreover, in the present embodiment, the upper body image is printed in a specified size that can be used on a single sheet of printing paper as much as possible, and an appropriate size and range are printed. Printing paper can be saved by using printing paper efficiently.
[0067]
In the present embodiment, the image data having the frame F is recorded on the memory card 12 by the processing in step S211. However, only the image data is recorded without recording the frame data. It may be. Even in this case, since the upper body image is printed in an appropriate size and range according to the type of the ID photo selected in step S201, the size of the selected ID photo is changed after printing. By cutting the ID photo, it is possible to complete an ID photograph having a usable size and having an upper body image printed in an appropriate size and range.
[0068]
Alternatively, only the image in the frame F may be extracted and recorded without recording the data of the frame. Even in this case, if only the printed portion of the printing paper is cut after printing, an ID photo of the specified size that can be used and the upper body image printed in the appropriate size and range is completed. Can be done.
[0069]
Further, in the present embodiment, the number of sheets to be arranged is automatically determined in step S207, but the number of sheets to be arranged within the maximum possible number of sheets may be determined by the user. As a result, the number of images required by the user can be printed, and wasteful printing can be prevented beforehand, thereby saving printer ink.
[0070]
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the case where the printer to be used is one in which the print image size is uniquely determined from the recorded image size, that is, the size of the print paper is changed. However, the figure shows a processing procedure on the digital still camera 1 side when a printer of a type that prints an image in the same size according to the image quality mode at the time of recording is used.
[0071]
When the power is turned on, the CPU 5 executes control according to a flowchart shown in FIG. That is, when the user performs an image quality mode setting operation by selecting a desired image quality mode (either the high image quality mode or the low image quality mode) using the key input unit 8, the selected image quality mode is set (step S1). S301). When the user performs a shooting mode setting operation by selecting a desired shooting mode with the key input unit 8, the selected shooting mode is set (step S302). Further, it is determined whether or not the ID photograph mode is selected from the photographing modes (step S303). If the ID photograph mode is not selected, the process proceeds to a photographing process corresponding to the selected photographing mode.
[0072]
If the ID photo mode is selected, a process for selecting the type of ID photo is executed in the same manner as the process in step S101 described above (step S304). That is, when the ID photo selection menu shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on the display unit 14 and the user selects one of the ID photo selection menus by operating the key input unit 8, this selection is made. The type of the ID photo is determined and stored in the RAM 11.
[0073]
Next, the frame of the selected ID photo is displayed (with guidance) on the through image in a size corresponding to the currently set image quality mode (step S305). That is, the image data of the subject image based on the output signal from the image sensor 3 processed by the signal processing circuit 4 is stored in the video RAM 7 at each predetermined timing in the state of the ID photo mode. When the display circuit 13 drives the display unit 14 based on the image data, the subject image formed on the image sensor 3 by the lens unit 2 is displayed as a through image on the display unit 14 including an LCD.
[0074]
The entire through image displayed on the display unit 14 is an image printed in the high image quality mode or the low image quality mode selected in step S301, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are known. That is, the image printed in the low image quality mode has a smaller size than the image printed in the high image quality mode. In step S304, the type of the ID photo is selected, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are also known. Therefore, assuming that the entire through image displayed on the display unit 14 is the print size of the high image quality mode or the low image quality mode selected in step S301, the display size is displayed on the display unit 14 based on the relative relationship to the print size. The size of the frame of the selected ID photo to be calculated can be calculated. Therefore, the CPU 5 performs this calculation and displays a frame of the ID photo having a size corresponding to the image quality mode on the through image (preferably, the center portion on the through image).
[0075]
Alternatively, the size data of the frame of the ID photo (for a visa, for a passport, for a resume, for a car driving license) to be displayed on the display unit 14 corresponding to the high image quality mode or the low image quality mode is stored in the ROM 10 in advance. A table is provided, the size data of the corresponding frame is read from the table, and the frame of the ID photo having the size corresponding to the image quality mode is displayed on the through image.
[0076]
Therefore, as a result of the processing in step S305, as shown in FIG. 3C, the through image S displayed on the display unit 14 is selected to have a size corresponding to the case where the selected image quality mode is set. The frame F of the ID photo is displayed on the display unit 14. That is, in the high image quality mode, the frame F is displayed relatively smaller than in the low image quality mode. When the image quality mode is the same, the frame F is displayed as the size of the selected ID photo increases. F will be displayed relatively large.
Also in this step S305, the guidance G is displayed outside the frame F.
[0077]
Next, the photographer waits until the shutter button is pressed (step S306). During that time, the photographer looks at the display unit 14 so that the upper body of the photographed person falls within the frame F within an appropriate range. Or the distance from the subject or the like. When the photographer operates the shutter button with the upper body of the subject within the proper range within the frame F (step S306; YES), the photographing process is executed in the currently set image quality mode (step S306). In step S307, the image data of the captured image in which the frame is arranged on the through image is recorded on the memory card 12 (step S308).
[0078]
Then, when the photographing of the ID photograph is completed in this way, the memory card 12 is removed from the digital still camera 1 and set in the printer owned by the user. Alternatively, with the memory card 12 attached to the digital still camera 1, a printer owned by the user is connected to the I / O terminal 15, and the memory card 12 is connected via the I / O port 9 and the serial I / O terminal 15. Output the image data recorded in the printer to the printer.
[0079]
Here, in the printer used in the present embodiment, as described above, the print image size is uniquely determined from the print image size, and even if the print paper size is changed, the image quality mode at the time of printing is changed. This is a type of printer that prints an image in the same size according to the printer. Therefore, when the input image data is captured in the high image quality mode, the printer prints an image having a larger size than the low image quality mode and a predetermined size corresponding to the high image quality mode. If the image was shot in the image quality mode, an image having a smaller size than the high image quality mode and a predetermined size corresponding to the low image quality mode is printed.
[0080]
At this time, the frame of the ID photo having the size corresponding to the image quality mode is displayed on the through image by the process of step S305 described above, and the data of the frame is also recorded by the process of step S308. On the image printed in the size corresponding to the image quality mode, a frame F having the length and width of the ID photo selected in step S304 is printed, and the subject having the proper size and range within the frame F is printed. The image containing the upper body is printed. Therefore, after printing, by cutting the printing paper along the frame, it is possible to complete an identification photograph having a usable size and having an upper body image printed in an appropriate range.
[0081]
In addition, since the size of the ID photo is generally smaller than the size of the image photographed and printed in the low image quality mode, the size of the ID photo does not hinder the photographing in the low image quality mode. Therefore, when the low image quality mode is set, printing can be performed economically using small-sized printing paper and using a small amount of ink.
[0082]
(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. As in the third embodiment, the printer to be used is uniquely determined from the recorded image size by the print image size. This shows the processing procedure on the digital still camera 1 side in a certain case, that is, when using a printer that prints an image in the same size according to the image quality mode at the time of recording even if the size of the printing paper is changed. .
[0083]
When the power is turned on, the CPU 5 executes control according to a flowchart shown in FIG. That is, when the user performs a shooting mode setting operation by selecting a desired shooting mode with the key input unit 8, the selected shooting mode is set (step S401). Further, it is determined whether or not the ID photo mode is selected from the shooting modes (step S402). If the ID photo mode is not selected, the process shifts to a shooting process corresponding to the selected shooting mode.
[0084]
When the ID photo mode is selected, the image quality mode is forcibly switched to the low image quality mode (step S403). Further, a process of selecting the type of the ID photo is executed in the same manner as the process in step S101 described above (step S404).
[0085]
Next, the frame of the selected ID photo is displayed (with guidance) on the through image in a size corresponding to the low image quality mode (step S405). That is, the image data of the subject image based on the output signal from the image sensor 3 processed by the signal processing circuit 4 is stored in the video RAM 7 at each predetermined timing in the state of the ID photo mode. When the display circuit 13 drives the display unit 14 based on the image data, the subject image formed on the image sensor 3 by the lens unit 2 is displayed as a through image on the display unit 14 including an LCD.
[0086]
The entire through image displayed on the display unit 14 is an image to be printed in the low image quality mode, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are known. In step S404 described above, the type of the ID photo is selected, and its vertical and horizontal sizes are also known. Therefore, assuming that the entire through-image displayed on the display unit 14 has a print size in the low image quality mode, the frame of the selected ID photo frame to be displayed on the display unit 14 is determined from the relative relationship to the print size. The size can be calculated. Therefore, the CPU 5 performs this calculation and displays a frame of the ID photo having a size corresponding to the image quality mode on the through image (preferably, the center portion on the through image).
[0087]
Alternatively, a table is stored in the ROM 10 in advance that stores the size data of the frame of the ID photo (for visa, passport, resume, car driver's license) to be displayed on the display unit 14, and the table corresponds to the table. The size data of the frame is read, and the frame of the selected ID photo is displayed on the through image.
[0088]
Accordingly, as a result of the processing in step S405, as shown in FIG. 3C, the selected ID photo has a size corresponding to the case where the through image S displayed on the display unit 14 is set to the low image quality mode. Frame F is displayed on the display unit 14. That is, as the size of the selected ID photograph increases, the frame F is displayed relatively large.
Also in this step S405, the guidance G is displayed outside the frame F.
[0089]
Next, the user waits until the shutter button is pressed (step S406). During that time, the photographer looks at the display unit 14 so that the upper body of the subject falls within the frame F within an appropriate range. Or the distance from the subject or the like. When the photographer operates the shutter button with the upper body of the subject within the proper range within the frame F (step S406; YES), the photographing process is executed in the low image quality mode (step S407), The image data of the captured image in the low image quality mode in which a frame is arranged on the image is recorded on the memory card 12 (step S408).
[0090]
Then, when the photographing of the ID photograph is completed in this way, the memory card 12 is removed from the digital still camera 1 and set in the printer owned by the user. Alternatively, with the memory card 12 attached to the digital still camera 1, a printer owned by the user is connected to the I / O terminal 15, and the memory card 12 is connected via the I / O port 9 and the serial I / O terminal 15. Output the image data recorded in the printer to the printer.
[0091]
Here, in the printer used in the present embodiment, similarly to the third embodiment, the print image size is uniquely determined from the recording image size, and even if the size of the printing paper is changed. This is a type of printer that prints an image at the same size according to the image quality mode at the time of recording. Therefore, since the image data input to the printer is taken in the low image quality mode, an image having a smaller size than the high image quality mode and a predetermined size corresponding to the low image quality mode is printed.
[0092]
At this time, the mode is forcibly switched to the low image quality mode by the processing in step S403 described above, and the frame of the selected ID photo having a size corresponding to the low image quality mode is displayed on the through image by the processing in step S405. Since the frame data is also recorded by the processing in step S408, a frame having the vertical and horizontal sizes of the ID photo selected in step S404 is displayed on the image printed based on the image data shot in the low image quality mode. F is printed, and an image in which the subject's upper body fits within the frame F in an appropriate size and range is printed. Therefore, after printing, by cutting the printing paper along the frame, it is possible to complete the ID photo of the specified size that can be used, and the upper body image is printed in an appropriate size and range. .
[0093]
In addition, since the size of the ID photo is generally smaller than the size of the image photographed and printed in the low image quality mode, the size of the ID photo does not hinder the photographing in the low image quality mode. Therefore, by forcibly switching to the low image quality mode and photographing, printing can be performed economically with less ink than when photographing and printing in the low image quality mode.
[0094]
In the first and second embodiments, the print size information is recorded on the memory card in association with the image data. However, the print size information need not be recorded. In this case, the user can remember the print size set at the time of shooting and use a printer dedicated to the print size, and the printer used can print on paper of different sizes such as L size, A4 size, B5 size, etc. If this is not the case, the user must manually set the remembered print size in the printer.
[0095]
Further, in the third embodiment, when the high image quality mode is set, the size of the frame displayed on the through image becomes considerably small, and only a very small portion of the photographed image is required. Therefore, only the relevant portion may be extracted and recorded. Thus, printing of unnecessary portions can be avoided and ink can be saved.
[0096]
Further, in the fourth embodiment, the image quality mode is switched to the low image quality mode when the ID photo mode is selected. However, when the ID photo type is selected, the image quality mode corresponding to the type of the ID photo is selected. Automatically. Thus, even when the required print size varies greatly depending on the type of the ID photo, an image having a size that can secure the required print size can be recorded.
[0097]
In the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments, the through image is displayed outside the frame for the ID photograph, but the through image is displayed only inside the frame. Is also good.
[0098]
In the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments, a frame is displayed on a through image. In the second and fourth embodiments, a frame is displayed on a through image. May not be displayed.
[0099]
In the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to the ID photo mode for taking ID photos for visa, passport, etc. has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a frame (frame) such as a heart shape, a circle, a tape (video) label shape, a disc label shape, a business card shape, or the like is displayed on a through image and applied to a shooting mode. The present invention can be applied as long as the required print size is determined.
[0100]
Further, in the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to an electronic still camera has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It can be easily applied to a camera-equipped mobile phone terminal, a camera-equipped PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a camera-equipped personal computer, and the like, and can be applied to any device equipped with an imaging function. be able to.
[0101]
【The invention's effect】
[0102]
As described above, according to the first and thirteenth aspects of the invention, the size of the shooting guide frame displayed on the through image is changed according to the designated print size. Accordingly, the frame is displayed relatively small as the print size increases, and conversely, the frame is displayed relatively large as the print size decreases. Therefore, the photographer adjusts the orientation of the imaging device, the distance from the subject, and the like so that the upper body of the subject falls within the proper range within the frame. Shooting and recording can be performed in a state where the upper body of the photographer is accommodated. Therefore, the photographing can be performed so that the ID photograph in which the image exists in the appropriate size and range within the specified size can be printed.
[0103]
According to the fourth and fourteenth aspects of the present invention, the image data is recorded together with the information indicating the predetermined print paper size corresponding to the set predetermined photographing mode. If the printer used for printing based on the data is capable of printing on paper of different sizes, such as L size, A4 size, B5 size, etc., a printer corresponding to a predetermined shooting mode recorded is used. The printer can perform printing with the print paper size based on the information indicating the print paper size. Therefore, by cutting the printing paper after printing, it is possible to complete an identification photograph having a usable size and an upper body image printed in an appropriate size and range.
[0104]
According to the fifth and fifteenth aspects of the invention, the size and / or the number of photographed images to be arranged on the recording image recorded on the recording medium is determined according to the designated print size. Therefore, it is possible to record image data in which the size and / or the number of photographed images corresponding to the print size are arranged on the recorded image. Therefore, by printing with a printer based on this image data, it is possible to print an image of an appropriate size and range using printing paper efficiently.
[0105]
According to the tenth and sixteenth aspects of the present invention, guidance such as precautions for photographing is displayed together with a frame for photographing guide, so that the photographer can visually recognize the guidance and follow the guidance. Alternatively, by instructing the subject, it becomes possible to capture and record an image that becomes an appropriate ID photograph even under conditions other than the size.
[0106]
According to the eleventh and seventeenth aspects of the present invention, after the photographing and recording is completed, the printer used for printing based on the recorded image data can be used to uniquely determine the print image size from the recorded image size. If the size is determined, if the (recorded) image size is designated, the size of the shooting guide frame displayed on the through image can be changed accordingly. Therefore, the photographer adjusts the orientation of the imaging device, the distance from the subject, and the like so that the upper body of the subject falls within the proper range within the frame. This makes it possible to record an image so that printing can be performed with the upper body of the photographer accommodated.
[0107]
According to the twelfth and eighteenth aspects of the present invention, when the shooting mode is set to display a frame for a shooting guide on a through image and the purpose is to create an ID photo, The image size to be recorded can be changed to a predetermined image size. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently record image data having an image size for creating a certification photograph having an image size relatively smaller than a general photograph. As a result, at the time of printing after photographing and recording, printing can be efficiently performed using printing paper and ink, thereby making it possible to economically create an identification photograph.
