  • Patent number: 9497382
    Abstract: A currently captured image R of an object is displayed nearly at a center portion of a display frame SC on a display screen that is a shooting mode. When a time dial 22 is rotated for one step in the counterclockwise direction, the currently captured image R is moved rightward. A reproduced image PI captured before the currently captured image R is displayed on the left thereof. A reproduced image P2 captured before the reproduced image PI is displayed on the left thereof. The currently captured image R and the reproduced images PI and P2 are displayed at the same time on a display screen ST2 as a co-existent state of a shooting mode and a reproducing mode. When the time dial 22 is rotated for one step in the counterclockwise direction, only the reproduced images PI to P4 are displayed on a display screen that is a reproducing mode. As a plurality of reproduced image, the reproduced images PI to P4 are displayed along a time axis.

  • Patent number: 9116610
    Abstract: A screen ST1 of an LCD with which a digital camera is provided displays an icon of a folder F1 indicating that the folder F1 has been selected. Image files P11 and P12 are captured reproduced images. A display frame SC displays a currently captured picture of an object, files P11 and P12, and the icon of the folder F1. To switch the folder F1 to a folder F2, the user presses a down button of a cross key 27. When the user presses the down button on the screen ST1, the screen ST1 is switched to a screen ST3 through a screen ST2. On the screen ST2, the number denoted in the icon is changed. The screen ST2 displays a state of which the folders are being switched. An icon displayed on the screen ST3 indicates that the folder F1 was switched to the folder F2.

  • Publication number: 20140281999
    Abstract: Even in the case of displaying operation display information, an image to be displayed on a display screen is prevented from being difficult to see, and an operation input by using the operation display information is always appropriately conducted. A display device receives an information signal from a base device, and displays main display information that is an image derived from a display signal of the information signal on an LCD. In the case where the display device displays a control panel for accepting an operation input from a user on the LCD, the display device controls a size change processor so that a size and a position of display of the main display information is so changed as not to overlap with display of the control panel.

  • Publication number: 20140063318
    Abstract: A desired image is quickly retrieved from stored images. Reproduced images are horizontally arranged on time axis. Horizontal lines are displayed above the plurality of images and delimited every image group such that images belonging to the same image group are visually identified. Dots are displayed on individual lines corresponding to representative images P11 and P12 belonging to individual image groups. Photographed dates and times are displayed only on representative images P11 and P21 belonging to image groups. A plurality of reproduced images are simultaneously displayed on an LCD 13. Among these reproduced images, representative images are identifiably displayed. When a desired image is selected from reproduced images, left and right feed buttons of a cross key 27 are pressed and representative images belonging to individual image groups are selected. When a dial key 28 is rotated, a desired image is selected from images belonging to the selected image group.
