Abstract
A digital camera regards a part of a preceding photograph image as a guide image, and combines the guide image with a through image in shooting a succeeding photograph image. At this time, a transmittance of the guide image is set according to a luminance evaluation value at a time when the preceding photograph image is shot.
Claims5
A digital camera which displays on a monitor a part of a preceding photograph image previously shot as a guide image for shooting a succeeding photograph image so as to be overlapped with a through image comprises
- a setter that sets transmittance of said guide image in accordance with a luminance level at a time that said preceding photograph image is shot, wherein said transmittance is set to a smaller percentage when said luminance level is at a high and the transmittance is set to a larger percentage when said luminance level is at a low.
A control method of a digital camera which displays on a monitor a part of a preceding photograph image previously shot as a guide image for shooting a succeeding photograph image so as to be overlapped with a through image, including:
- a setting step that sets transmittance of said guide image in accordance with a luminance level at a time that said preceding photograph image is shot, said transmittance being set to a smaller percentage when said luminance level is at a high and the transmittance being set to a larger percentage when said luminance level is at a low.
