Abstract
A photographing method displays a photographed object and displays a graphic for the user to estimate the real size of the object based on a calculated real size of the object. Accordingly, the user can evaluate the real size of the object, which is being photographed by the user.
Claims36
A photographing method, comprising:
- photographing an object;
- displaying the photographed object;
- calculating a real size of the object;
- generating grid lines for a user to estimate the real size of the object based on the calculated real size of the object;
- displaying the grid lines to be overlap to the photographed object;
- and
- adjusting a gap between the grid lines if the user changes the size of the displayed object with a zoom operation,
- wherein the grid lines include grid dots where two grid lines intersect, and one of the grid dots on the grid lines is displayed at a focus point.

A photographing apparatus, comprising:
- a photographing unit to photograph an object;
- a GUI generating unit to generate a GUI;
- a display unit to display the object photographed in the photographing unit and the GUI generated in the GUI generating unit;
- and
- a control unit to calculate a real size of the object, to control the GUI generating unit to form grid lines for a user to estimate the real size of the object based on the calculated real size of the object and to control the display unit to displays the grid lines to be overlap to the photographed object,
- wherein the control unit controls the GUI generating unit to adjust a gap between the grid lines if the user changes the size of the displayed object with a zoom operation, and
- wherein the control unit controls the GUI generating unit to display at least one grid dot on the grid lines at a focus point.

A method of displaying an image, comprising:
- photographing an object with a photographing apparatus;
- determining a size dimension of the object and generating a grid based on the size dimension of the object;
- displaying the photographed object;
- displaying tabs to allow a user to adjust a determined size of the object;
- displaying the grid simultaneously with the photographed object, a spacing between lines of the grid corresponding to the determined size dimension of the object, and
- adjusting the spacing between lines of the grid if the user changes the size of the displayed object with a zoom operation.
3 more elements
A photographing apparatus, comprising:
- a photographing unit to receive an image corresponding to an object to be photographed and to output electrical signals corresponding to the received image;
- a display to display the object;
- and
- a control unit to determine a size dimension of the object, to generate a grid corresponding to the determined size dimension, and to control the display unit to display the grid simultaneously with the object,
- wherein the control unit adjusts spacing between lines of the grid if the user changes the size of the displayed object with a zoom operation
- wherein the controller controls the display to display tabs to allow a user to adjust a value corresponding to the determined size of the object.
