Abstract
In a digital still camera is loaded a removable memory in which plural messages according to an object are memorized. When the photography is made, an elapsed time calculated from a reference date and a photography time is compared with effective elapsed time regions provided to the respective messages. Only the messages corresponding to the effective elapsed time region containing the elapsed time are displayed on the display. At least one of the displayed messages is synthesized with a photographed image so as to form a synthesized image. The synthesized image is memorized in the memory.
Claims11
A digital still camera for outputting a synthesized image in which an object image of an object taken by photography operation is combined with a literal image including a message, said digital still camera comprising:
- a clock section for generating photographing date information representing photographing date of photography of said object;
- an elapsed time calculating section for calculating an elapsed time from a reference date which is previously set, to said photographing date;
- a memory for storing plural message data and an elapsed time region data which corresponds to each of said message data;
- a data reader for reading out said message data, said reader comparing said elapsed time with an elapsed time region which said elapsed time region data represents, and outputting as said message at least one of said message data corresponding to said elapsed time region data whose condition said elapsed time satisfies;
- and
- an image synthesizing section for synthesizing said object image with said output message.
A memory card removably attached to a digital still camera, said digital still camera generating an object image formed through photography to output to a display section, and calculating an elapsed time from a predetermined reference date to a photographing date, said memory card comprising:
- plural message data;
- an elapsed time region data corresponding to each of said message data, said message data being output to said display section as a message only when a condition of an elapsed time region represented by said elapsed time region data is satisfied by said elapsed time.
