  • Patent number: 9277119
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is described. The electronic apparatus includes an image capture unit, a first image processor, a second image processor, a display unit, and an image storage unit. The image capture unit generates an input image by a photoelectric conversion of incident light. The first image processor generates a display image from the input image and generates a first stored image from the first input image. The input image is divided into a first input image and a second input image. The second image processor generates a second stored image from the second input image. The display unit displays the display image. The image storage unit stores a combined stored image. The combined stored image is a combination of the first stored image and the second stored image.

  • Publication number: 20110102631
    Abstract: A digital camera includes a color shading area detecting unit that detects color shading areas from an entire area of a screen, and a white balance (WB) gain calculating unit that calculates WB gains from available screen areas remaining after excluding the detected color shading areas. According to a method of controlling the digital camera, WB adjustment is performed by excluding a color shading effect and thus a white balanced image may be generated.
