  • Image sensing system and method of controlling operation of same
    Patent number: 6906746
    Abstract: When a subject is imaged for the purpose of deciding the angle of view, the full image that is capable of being sensed by a CCD is displayed on an LCD. The user designates the position of a cropping area in the image being displayed. Only image data representing the image within the border of the designated area is recorded on a memory card. Since the amount of image data to be recorded on the memory card is thus reduced, image data representing images of a greater number of frames can be recorded on the memory card.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2001
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2005
    Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.

  • Multilevel image recording method
    Patent number: 5953038
    Abstract: A multilevel image recording method is provided which can reproduce high resolution images with high quality and at a linear gradation. One pixel is formed by a left dot and a right dot, and a density of the pixel is expressed by a sum total of surface areas of each dot. The density of the pixel is distributed to the left dot and the right dot in accordance with curve A or curve B. At least dots expressing maximum densities at respective pixels in halftone regions are right dots.
