Publication number: 20100289925Abstract: An imager is provided having an imaging sensor, an image processor, and a recorder. The imaging sensor creates an image signal by photographing a subject. The image processor processes the image signal with visual effects processing so as to create image data, and adds metadata to the image data so as to create an image file. The metadata contains post-processing information includes information based on the visual effects process. The recorder stores the image file. The visual effects process is used in processing the image data. The image processor conducting a post process in which more than one visual effects process is carried out, a new image file is created, and the new image file is stored in the recorder. The post-processing information has a post-processing counter and pre-processing information. The post-processing counter indicates the number of times the post process is carried out. The pre-processing information represents the state of a preprocessed image file prior to post processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2010Publication date: November 18, 2010Applicant: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Naoki KOSHIKAWA, Teppei OKAMOTO, Koichi ISHIBASHI

Patent number: 7742093Abstract: A digital camera comprising an imaging device, a memory, a monitor, and a monitor controller is provided. The digital camera is used for photographing an optical image of an object as an image of a first rectangle. An aspect ratio of the first rectangle is a first aspect ratio. The imaging device generates an image signal. The monitor is a second rectangle. An aspect ratio of the second rectangle is a second aspect ratio. The second aspect ratio is decided to be lower than the first aspect ratio if the first aspect ratio is higher than one. The second aspect ratio is decided to be higher than the first aspect ratio if the first aspect ratio is lower than one. The monitor controller makes a displayed-image be displayed on the monitor according to a first or a second replay mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventor: Teppei Okamoto
