Abstract
A digital camera has a display, a magnification input device, and a magnification control device. The display simultaneously displays images. The magnification input device is used to input the magnification factor for the images displayed in said display. The magnification control device which simultaneously changes the magnification of the images displayed in said display by substantially the same multiplier according to the magnification factor input by said magnification input device.
Claims20
A digital camera comprising:
- a display that simultaneously displays plural images;
- a magnification input device that is used to input a magnification factor for each of the images displayed in said display;
- and
- a magnification controller that selectively enlarges or reduces any one or more than one of the images and that simultaneously changes a magnification of the plural images displayed in said display by substantially the same multiplier according to the magnification factor input by said magnification input device,
- wherein said magnification controller determines an individual minimum magnification factor that is used for displaying an image on said display, the minimum magnification factor being determined based on an aspect ratio of the image and
- said magnification controller selects the largest factor among the individual minimum magnification factors of all of the images that are simultaneously displayed on said display, and determines the largest factor to be the minimum magnification factor for all of the images displayed on said display, when said display changes displayed images from one image to plural images that have respectively different aspect ratios.

An image viewer comprising:
- a display that simultaneously displays plural images;
- a magnification input device that is used to input a magnification factor for each of the images displayed in said display;
- and
- a magnification controller that selectively enlarges or reduces any one or more than one of the images and that simultaneously changes the magnification of the plural images displayed in said display by substantially the same multiplier according to the magnification factor input by said magnification input device;
- and
- a selector that selects at least one image from among the plural images displayed on said display;
- said selector being provided on the perimeter of said display;
- said magnification controller changing the magnification of the image selected by said selector,
- wherein said magnification controller determines an individual minimum magnification factor that is used for displaying an image on said display, the minimum magnification factor being determined based on an aspect ratio of the image and
- said magnification controller selects the largest factor among the individual minimum magnification factors of all of the images that are simultaneously displayed on said display, and determines the largest factor to be the minimum magnification factor for all of the images displayed on said display, when said display changes displayed images from one image to plural images that have respectively different aspect ratios.

An image-displaying system comprising:
- a digital camera that has an output device which outputs a video signal;
- and
- an external display that is provided externally of said digital camera;
- said display having a receiver which receives the video signal which is sent from the output device and displays plural images simultaneously;
- said digital camera having a magnification input device that is used to input the magnification factor for each of the images displayed in said display, and a magnification controller that selectively enlarges or reduces any one or more than one of the images and that simultaneously changes the magnification of the images displayed in said display by substantially the same multiplier according to the magnification factor input by said magnification input device,
- wherein said magnification controller determines an individual minimum magnification factor that is used for displaying an image on said display, the minimum magnification factor being determined based on an aspect ratio of the image and
- said magnification controller selects the largest factor among the individual minimum magnification factors of all of the images that are simultaneously displayed on said display, and determines the largest factor to be the minimum magnification factor for all of the images displayed on said display, when said display changes displayed images from one image to plural images that have respectively different aspect ratios.
