Abstract
A digital photographing apparatus is provided that enlarges and displays one area of a subject to be photographed for a self-timer photographing standby time, as is a method of controlling the digital photographing apparatus. The method includes: receiving a self-timer photographing input signal; enlarging and displaying one area of a displayed input image for a self-timer photographing standby time; and capturing the displayed input image after the self-timer photographing standby time elapses. The area of the subject to be photographed is enlarged and displayed for the self-timer photographing standby time so that a photographing state of the subject to be photographed may be checked and a desired image may be captured.
Claims17
A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a self-timer photographing input signal;
- enlarging and displaying one area of a displayed input image during a self-timer photographing standby time comprising:
- detecting at least two face areas from the input image;
- setting priorities for enlargement and display to the detected face areas by:
- setting a face of a first state as a first priority;
- setting a face, of which a part deviates from a display region, as a second priority;
- and
- setting a face of a third state as a third priority;
- and
- enlarging the at least two detected face areas and sequentially displaying the enlarged face areas at predetermined time intervals;
- and
- capturing the displayed input image after the self-timer photographing standby time elapses.
A digital photographing apparatus comprising:
- an imaging device for receiving light from a subject to be photographed and generating an input image;
- a display unit for displaying the input image;
- and
- a digital signal processor (DSP) for enlarging and displaying one area of the input image displayed on the display unit during a self-timer photographing standby time when a self-timer photographing input signal is received, and capturing the displayed input image if the self-timer photographing standby time elapses, wherein the enlarging and displaying comprises:
- detecting at least two face areas from the input image;
- setting priorities for enlargement and display to the detected face areas by:
- setting a face of a first state as a first priority;
- setting a face, of which a part deviates from a display region, as a second priority;
- and
- setting a face of a third state as a third priority;
- and
- enlarging the at least two detected face areas and sequentially displaying the enlarged face areas at predetermined time intervals.
