Patent number: 8466972Abstract: Provided is a digital image processing apparatus that realizes an out-focusing effect by tilting a photographing device about a plane that is perpendicular to an optical axis of a lens. The digital image processing apparatus includes a lens and a photographing device configured to generate data about an image from light which has passed through the lens. The photographing device is configured to be tilted about a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens. The photographing device is tilted about the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens so as to control a range of a focus area formed on the photographing device.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2010Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jun-kwon Choi

Patent number: 8243181Abstract: A digital image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the same. The digital image processing apparatus includes a multi-direction button as a shutter release button which can move an auto focus (AF) region while a first shutter release signal is being applied. The multi-direction shutter release button is operable along the first direction which is an up and down direction, and is operable in the multiple directions which include back, front, right, and left directions. Specifically, the multi-direction shutter release button is operable to apply a first shutter release signal when moved down along the first direction to a first position, to allow for auto focusing operations in accordance with movement in any of the multiple directions, and is operable to apply a second shutter release signal when moved down along the first direction to a second position to control the digital image processing apparatus to operate a shutter to capture an image.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2009Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jun-kwon Choi, Sang-seok Lee

Patent number: 7847851Abstract: Disclosed are a digital photographing apparatus and a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus that allow a user to easily identify the current position of an image displayed on a display within a sequence of images and to easily identify a consecutive sequence of related images. The apparatus and method include displaying a lattice-shaped index on the display, which can be displayed at the same time as an image. At least one of the images represented as a region of the index relates to at least one other image represented as a region of the index. Regions of the index representing images that relate with one another have the same distinguishing characteristic, such as the same color, luminance, shading or shape to show that they are related.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2007Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jun-kwon Choi
