Claims9
A camera comprising:
- a shooting section for shooting a subject;
- a communication section for communicating with a communication target device to send shot data recorded in a memory;
- a target device identifying section for identifying the communication target device from an external image shot of the communication target device taken through the shooting section;
- and
- a formatting section for converting transmission data to a format suitable for transmission to the communication target device identified.
A method of transmitting shot image data to a communication target device, comprising the steps of:
- shooting the communication target device;
- querying a database with an external image shot of the communication target device to identify the communication target device;
- converting the image data to a format suitable for transmission to the communication target device identified;
- and
- transmitting the converted image data to the communication target device.
A computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of transmitting shot image data to a communication target device, the transmission method comprising:
- shooting the communication target device;
- querying a database with an external image shot of the communication target device to identify the communication target device;
- converting the image data to a format suitable for transmission to the communication target device identified;
- and
- transmitting the converted image data to the communication target device.
