Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for capturing images. Briefly described, one embodiment comprises a digital camera, the digital camera comprising at least a photosensor; and an enclosure configured to receive the digital camera, configured to have at least one feature controlling operation of the digital camera, and configured to capture an image using the photosensor of the digital camera.
Claims27
An image capture system comprising:
- a digital camera, the digital camera comprising at least a photosensor;
- and
- an enclosure configured to receive the digital camera, configured to have at least one feature controlling operation of the digital camera, and configured to capture an image using the photosensor of the digital camera.
A method for capturing images, the method comprising the steps of:
- coupling a digital camera and an enclosure, the digital camera residing within a recess of the enclosure;
- selecting at least one image capture feature using a device residing on the enclosure;
- and
- capturing an image on a photosensor residing in the digital camera, the image captured through a lens residing on the camera enclosure.
A method for capturing images, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating an image capture instruction using a device residing on an enclosure;
- communicating the image capture instruction to a digital camera coupled to the enclosure and residing within a recess of the enclosure;
- and
- capturing an image with a photosensor residing in the digital camera, the step of capturing performed in accordance with the received image capture instruction.
An image capture system, comprising:
- means for capturing an image with a photosensor residing in a digital camera;
- means for coupling the digital camera to an enclosure;
- and
- means for controlling a process of image capture with at least one device residing on the enclosure.
A computer-readable medium having a program for capturing images, the program comprising logic configured to perform the steps of:
- receiving an image capture instruction from an enclosure;
- and
- capturing an image with a photosensor residing in a digital camera when the digital camera is coupled to the enclosure, the step of capturing performed in accordance with the received image capture instruction.
