Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus capable of performing high-speed continuous shooting and immediately storing data regarding a captured image. The digital photographing apparatus includes an image capture device for generating first data regarding an image generated from light input in response to a signal input by a user, a first data reading unit for reading the first data in units of a plurality of interlaced groups, a data conversion unit for converting the read data into second data, and a display unit for displaying an image generated from light incident on the image capture device. The data conversion unit starts conversion of the read data into the second data when the first data reading unit reads a last group of the first data.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus and a method of controlling the same to increase continuous shooting speed for capturing panoramic photographs. A provided method includes when a plurality of images are captured from an image pickup device during a predetermined period of time to generate a panoramic image, capturing at least one image from among the plurality of images by reading, from the image pickup device, image data corresponding to a predetermined region of a preview image displayed on the digital photographing apparatus, wherein a first number of the plurality of images is greater than a second number of images captured by reading, from the image pickup device, second image data corresponding to an entire region of the preview image during the predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A digital photographing apparatus and a method of controlling the same. A continuous shooting speed of the digital photographing apparatus may be improved by simultaneously performing a shutter operation and a read out operation of image data. A disclosed method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus includes displaying an image signal input through an image pickup device as a live view image, performing a first operation by driving a shutter, reading data from the image pickup device, and performing a second operation by driving the shutter during a time period overlapping the reading of the data.

Abstract: A method of controlling a digital image signal processing apparatus includes generating quick view image data corresponding to input image data, storing the quick view image data in a first area of a memory, entering into a reproduction mode, determining whether image signal processing performed on the input image data has been completed, and if it is determined that the image signal processing has not been completed in the reproduction mode, displaying a display image corresponding to the quick view image data stored in the first area of the memory.

Abstract: There are provided a method of storing image data, a digital photographing apparatus, a method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus, and a recording medium storing a program to execute the controlling method, for storing image data as a small-size file without degradation of image quality at main parts of the image data. According to the method of storing image data, the digital photographing apparatus, the method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus, and the recording medium storing a program to execute the controlling method, image data are stored in a state where first and second regions of an image corresponding to the image data have different image quality levels.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus that, in response to input button signals generated by a user, selectively reproduces files stored in a plurality of storage mediums. The method includes (a) reproducing a next file after a file currently being reproduced in a storage medium if a first input button signal is generated; (b) reproducing a previous file before the file currently being reproduced in the storage medium if a second input button signal is generated; and (c) reproducing a file in a storage medium different from the storage medium of the file currently being reproduced if a third input button signal is generated.
