Camera apparatus

A camera apparatus comprising:

• a lens which takes in a recording information as a change in light;
• an image signal generation unit which generates an image file of a moving image corresponding to the information taken by the lens;
• a recording unit which holds the image;
• a display unit which displays a moving image held in the recording unit;
• a display processing unit which overlays an identifying information indicating a magnification changing part of an image on a moving image displayed in the display unit;
• an input unit which is configured to input an instruction to provide a magnified image of a moving image corresponding to the magnification changing part displayed on the moving image displayed in the display unit;
• an image magnification unit which is configured to provide a moving image with the magnification instructed to change, when the input unit inputs an instruction to change the magnification of a magnified image corresponding to the magnification changing part displayed on a moving image displayed in the display unit;
• a position input unit which instructs to change the magnification changing part displayed on the moving image displayed in the display unit and the relative position of a moving image displayed in the display unit;
• and
• a display control unit which changes the magnified image corresponding to the magnification changing part according to a relative position instructed to change, when the position input unit instructs to change the magnification changing part displayed on a moving image displayed in the display unit and the relative position of a moving image displayed in the display unit.

An image processing method comprising:

• transferring a compressed playback streaming signal output from an image holding unit, to a map;
• decoding the transferred playback streaming signal, converting to a YUV signal, and transferring to a map as a YUV signal;
• generating a magnified or reduced image from the YUV signal, and storing the image on the map;
• overlaying the magnified or reduced image prepared on the map, according to a playback request;
• and
• outputting two or more overlaid images continuously within a fixed time, for seeking an output position.
