Abstract:
A collection of image templates in a digital camera guides a user in the taking of pictures. The image templates may have associated sample images that are optionally replaceable, in arbitrary order, by images captured by the user in the digital camera. Textual or audible instructions for capturing user images to replace the sample images may also be provided. A photo album containing images associated with at least one image template in a collection may be generated automatically.
Abstract:
Methods of calculating pixel values representative of a scene are disclosed herein. One embodiment of the method comprises focusing light representative of the scene onto a photosensor for a period of time using at least one exposure setting, wherein the photosensor has a plurality of pixels. Numeric values corresponding to the intensity of light received by each of the pixels during the period are generated. At least one exposure setting is changed and pixel values are generated by the photosensor based on the changed at least one exposure setting are calculated. The number of calculated pixel values that are greater than a first preselected value are then determined.
Abstract:
A digital camera is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the digital camera comprises a display, wherein previously captured images are displayable on the display when the camera is in a first mode. Images of scenes that are capturable by the camera are displayable on the display when the camera is in a second mode. A touch pad is located proximate the display. Contact of a stylus on the touch pad causes the display to display different previously captured images when the camera is in the first mode. At least one icon representative of at least one function is displayable on the display when the camera is in the second mode. Contact by a stylus on the touch pad proximate the icon causes the at least one function to activate.

Abstract:
An exemplary method for controlling an electronic imaging device may include detecting a sweeping motion on a touch pad, and adjusting a setting on the electronic imaging device in response to the sweeping motion.
Abstract:
An exemplary method for controlling an electronic imaging device may include detecting a sweeping motion on a touch pad, and scrolling a feature of the electronic imaging device in response. The method may also include detecting a tap on a predetermined location on the touch pad, and in response selecting one of a plurality of features of the electronic imaging device to be scrolled when a next sweeping motion is detected on the touch pad.
Abstract:
Viewing devices are disclosed herein. One embodiment of a viewing device is a digital camera having at least one function. And embodiment of the digital camera comprises a touch pad, wherein in which a stylus that is moved relative to the touch pad is detectable by the digital camera. The speed at which the function is performed corresponds to the speed that the stylus is moved relative to the touch pad.
Abstract:
A method of analyzing images captured using an imaging device is provided herein. The analysis provides suggestions for changing a parameter of the imaging device during subsequent image capture.
Abstract:
