Abstract
Even when image data in which a top-bottom orientation has been recorded is transmitted to equipment that is provided outside a photographing apparatus and does not support an image rotation function, an image can be displayed in an appropriate top-bottom orientation. A photographing apparatus includes a photographing unit; an addition unit which adds data indicating a top-bottom orientation at the time of photography to image data of an image captured using the photographing unit and stores resultant image data, a transmission unit which transmits the image data to external equipment; and an editing unit which rotates the top-bottom orientation of the image corresponding to the image data prior to transmitting the image data to the external equipment.
Claims30
A photographing apparatus comprising:
- a photographing unit;
- an addition unit which adds data indicating a top-bottom orientation at the time of photography to image data of an image captured using the photographing unit and stores resultant image data;
- a transmission unit which transmits the image data to external equipment;
- and
- an editing unit which rotates the top-bottom orientation of the image corresponding to the image data prior to transmitting the image data to the external equipment.
The photographing apparatus according to aclaim 1, further comprising a display unit for displaying the image data,
- wherein the image data is displayed on the display unit to enable confirmation of whether the top-bottom orientation of the image corresponding to the image data is to be rotated prior to transmitting the image data to the external equipment.
An image transfer method comprising:
- rotating a top-bottom orientation of an image corresponding to image data prior to transmitting the image data to external equipment, the image data being captured using a photographing function and stored with data indicating the top-bottom orientation at the time of photography added;
- and
- transmitting the image data of the image whose top-bottom orientation has been rotated to the external equipment.
A program for causing a computer of a photographing apparatus to execute:
- an addition function of adding data indicating a top-bottom orientation at the time of photography to image data of an image captured using a photographing function provided in the photographing apparatus and storing resultant data;
- an editing function of rotating the top-bottom orientation of the image corresponding to the image data prior to transmitting the image data to external equipment;
- and
- a transmitting function of transmitting image data of an image whose top-bottom orientation has been rotated to the external equipment.
