Abstract
A digital camera includes a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit sequentially outputs a plurality of frames of still image data that correspond to an object image. When a shutter button is operated in an animation mode, one frame of the still image data is recorded into a magnetooptical disk in a compressed state. When a display mode 2 is selected in the animation mode, recorded latest still image data and the still image data output from the signal processing circuit are alternately selected so as to display on a monitor a moving image on the basis of the selected still image data.
Claims6
A digital camera, comprising:
- a photographer for sequentially outputting a plurality of screens of still image signals that correspond to an object image;
- a recorder for recording one screen of the still image signal at every time that a recording instruction is issued;
- and
- a displayer for displaying a moving image formed of one screen of the still image signal that corresponds to a latest recording instruction and the still image signals outputted from said photographer when a specific display instruction is issued.
A signal processing method of a digital camera provided with a photographer for sequentially outputting a plurality of screens of still image signals corresponding to an object image, and a recorder for recording one screen of the still image signal at every time that a recording instruction is issued, comprising steps of:
- (a) storing into a first memory one screen of the still image signal corresponding to a latest recording instruction;
- (b) storing into a second memory the still image signals sequentially outputted from said photographer;
- (c) alternately changing a reading destination of the still image signals between said first memory and said second memory;
- and
- (d) displaying a moving image on the basis of the still image signals read out from said first memory and said second memory.
