Abstract
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by an imaging section is disconnectable has a user-information reading section and an operation-stage deciding section. The user-information reading section reads user information previously stored in the external memory when the external memory is mounted. The operation-state deciding section decides an operation state of the digital camera based on the user information read by the user-information reading section.
Claims21
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by an imaging section is disconnectable, comprising:
- a user-information reading section which reads user information previously stored in the external memory when the external memory is mounted;
- and
- an operation-state deciding section which decides an operation state of the digital camera based on the user information read by the user-information reading section.
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by an imaging section is disconnectable, comprising:
- an internal memory capable of storing the image data imaged by the imaging section;
- and
- a control section which makes the external memory preferentially store the image data in a state in which the external memory is mounted.
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by an imaging section is disconnectable, comprising:
- an internal memory capable of storing the image data imaged by the imaging section;
- a display section which displays the image data stored in the internal memory;
- and
- a determining section which determines whether or not the image data imaged by the imaging section is image data immediately after imaged,
- wherein, when the determining section determines that the image data is the image data immediately after imaged, the display section displays the image data imaged by the imaging section, and when the determining section determines that the image data is not the image data immediately after imaged, the display section displays ordinary display image data previously stored in the internal memory.
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by imaging means is disconnectable, comprising:
- user-information reading means for reading user information previously stored in the external memory when the external memory is mounted;
- and
- operation-means deciding means for deciding an operation state of the digital camera based on the user information read by the user-information reading means.
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by imaging means is disconnectable, comprising:
- an internal memory capable of storing the image data imaged by the imaging means;
- and
- control means for preferentially storing the image data in the external memory in a state in which the external memory is mounted.
A digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by imaging means is disconnectable, comprising:
- an internal memory capable of storing the image data imaged by the imaging means;
- display means for displaying the image data stored in the internal memory;
- and
- determining means for determining whether or not the image data imaged by the imaging means is image data immediately after imaged,
- wherein, when the determining means determines that the image data is the image data immediately after imaged, the display means displays the image data imaged by the imaging means, and when the determining means determines that the image data is not the image data immediately after imaged, the display means displays ordinary image data previously stored in the internal memory.
A method of controlling a digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by imaging means is disconnectable, comprising:
- reading user information stored in the external memory when the external memory is mounted;
- and
- deciding an operation state of the digital camera based on the user information read from the external memory.
A method of controlling a digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by imaging means is disconnectable, comprising:
- preparing an internal memory capable of storing the image data imaged by the imaging means;
- and
- preferentially storing the image data in the external memory in a state in which the external memory is mounted.
A method of controlling a digital camera from which an external memory capable of storing image data imaged by imaging means is disconnectable, comprising:
- preparing an internal memory capable of storing the image data imaged by the imaging means;
- displaying the image data stored in the internal memory;
- determining whether or not the image data imaged by the imaging means is image data immediately after imaged;
- when it is determined that the image data is the image data immediately after imaged, displaying the image data imaged by the imaging means;
- and
- when it is determined that the image data is not the image data immediately after imaged, displaying ordinary display image data previously stored in the internal memory.
