Abstract
A camera which can accurately inform a photographer of the number of times image taking is possible is disclosed. The camera comprises an image-pickup device which photoelectrically converts an object image to an electric signal, an image processing circuit which applies image processing to the image data obtained by using the image-pickup device and generates processed image data, a recording circuit which records the processed image data in a recording medium, a control circuit which causes the image processing circuit to perform image processing on the image data obtained through one-time image taking under a plurality of different conditions to generate a plurality of the processed image data, and an information output unit which outputs information on the remaining number of times image taking is possible.
Claims12
A camera comprising:
- an image-pickup device which photoelectrically converts an object image to an electric signal;
- an image processing circuit which applies image processing to the image data obtained by using the image-pickup device and generates processed image data;
- a recording circuit which records the processed image data in a recording medium;
- a control circuit which causes the image processing circuit to perform image processing on the image data obtained through one-time image taking under a plurality of different conditions to generate a plurality of the processed image data;
- and
- an information output unit which outputs information on the remaining number of times image taking is possible,
- wherein the control circuit calculates the remaining number of times based on the remaining capacity of the recording medium and a predicted amount of the plurality of processed image data and causes the information output unit to output information on the calculated remaining number of times.
