Abstract
A digital camera comprises an internal memory, an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted; an imaging device; a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in one of the internal memory and the storage medium inserted into the insertion port; and a residual capacity display device that displays information on residual capacity to store the image by the storage control device.
Claims103
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in one of the internal memory and the storage medium inserted into the insertion port;
- and
- a residual capacity display device that displays information on residual capacity to store the image by the storage controller.
A digital camera comprising:
- a nonvolatile internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is capable of being inserted,
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- and
- a transcribe control device that transcribes the image stored in the internal memory to the storage medium limiting a number of overwrite.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- an image display device;
- a display control device that displays the storage image of the internal memory on the image display device;
- and
- a select instruction device that selects one of a first instruction to transcribe a storage image of the internal memory displayed on the image display device to the storage medium and also delete the image from the internal memory and a second instruction to delete the stored image from the internal memory without transcribing the image to the storage medium.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- and
- a transcribe processing driver that drives processing to transcribe a storage image of the internal memory to the storage medium.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory that stores an image;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite of an image to be stored is capable of being inserted;
- an image display device;
- and
- a reproduction control device that lets one of a storage image of the internal memory and a storage image of the storage medium limiting a number of overwrite be reproduced on the image display device so as to be capable of differentiating each other.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory that is capable of storing a plurality of images;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is capable of being inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- a delete instruction device that instructs so as to delete a part of images of the internal memory selectively;
- and
- a transcribe control device that transcribes a plurality of images stored in the internal memory to the storage medium all at once.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- a transcribe control device that transcribes a storage image of the internal memory to the storage medium;
- and
- a storage limit device that controls a storage amount in the image in the internal memory so as not to become larger than a storage amount of the storage medium.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- a storage amount splitter that splits the storage amount in the internal memory into a storage amount capable of storing in the storage medium and the rest when a storage amount in the image in the internal memory is larger than a storage amount of the storage medium;
- and
- a transcribe control device that transcribes the storage amount in the internal memory split by the storage amount splitter to the storage medium.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory that stores an image;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite of an image to be stored is capable of being inserted;
- an imaging device;
- and
- a delete control device that deletes the image reproduced on the image display device, wherein:
- the delete control device performs a different delete control depending upon whether the image reproduced on the image display device is a storage image of the internal memory or a storage image of the storage medium limiting a number of overwrite.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in the internal memory;
- and
- a transcribe control device that transcribes a storage image of the internal memory to the storage medium.
A digital camera comprising:
- an imaging device;
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium is inserted;
- a medium detector that detects whether the storage medium inserted into the insertion port is a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite;
- and
- an image record control device that controls so as to store an image data taken by the imaging device in the internal memory and record the image data stored in the internal memory in the storage medium limiting a number of overwrite when the medium detector detects that a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is inserted into the insertion port.
A digital camera comprising:
- an imaging device;
- an insertion port into which a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is capable of being inserted,
- an internal memory;
- and
- a capacity control device that controls so as to secure temporal storage capacity to temporally store an image data taken by the imaging device in the internal memory when the storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is inserted into the insertion port.
A digital camera comprising:
- an internal memory;
- an insertion port into which one of an overwritable storage medium and a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is inserted;
- an imaging device;
- a storage control device that stores an image taken by the imaging device in one of the internal memory and the storage medium inserted into the insertion port;
- and
- a medium detector that detects whether one of an overwritable storage medium and a storage medium limiting a number of overwrite is inserted into the insertion port, wherein:
- the storage control device changes a storage control of the image data corresponding to a kind of the storage medium detected by the medium detector.
A digital camera comprising:
