Abstract
A method for creating an instant review image is disclosed. The method starts by creating image data by exposing an image sensor to a scene. A first sub-set of the image data is transferred from the image sensor and used to create an instant review image. The rest of the data is transferred from the image sensor and essentially all of the data from the image sensor is used to create a second image.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- creating raw image data by exposing an image sensor to a scene;
- transferring a first sub-set of the raw image data from the image sensor;
- creating a first image from the first sub-set of raw image data;
- transferring a second sub-set of the raw image data from the image sensor where the first sub-set plus the second sub-set equals all of the raw image data;
- creating a second image from all of the raw image data.

A digital imaging device, comprising:
- an image sensor configured to create image data when exposed to a scene;
- circuitry configured to transfer a first sub-set of the image data from the image sensor;
- a processor configured to create a first image from the first sub-set of image data;
- the circuitry configured to transfer a second sub-set of the image data from the image sensor wherein the first sub-set plus the second sub-set equals all of the image data;
- the processor configured to create a second image from all of the image data.
