Abstract
A digital camera includes an optical assembly and image sensor for capturing still and/or video images and displaying the images on a screen. The camera includes a touch slider that is configured for sensing a relative movement of a finger, thumb or stylus or other tool of a user, or combinations thereof, and adjusting a value of an imaging parameter based on the relative movement.
Claims36
A digital camera, comprising:
- a digital camera housing;
- an image sensor coupled within the housing;
- an optical assembly including one or more lenses for forming images on the image sensor;
- a display screen coupled to the housing;
- and
- a touch slider configured for sensing a relative movement of a finger, thumb or stylus or other tool of a user, or combinations thereof, and adjusting a value of an imaging parameter based on said relative movement;
