摘要： Based on, for example, the image at the start of a movie, a thumbnail image is tentatively generated and is stored in a header file. If a predetermined triggering condition is fulfilled during movie shooting, a thumbnail image is generated from the frame image at the timing that the triggering condition is fulfilled, and the thumbnail image existing in the header file is replaced with the newly generated thumbnail image. The triggering condition is fulfilled, for example, if, after zooming-in, the angle of view has been kept fixed for a predetermined period or longer, or if the focus has been kept locked for a predetermined period.

摘要： The gain is derived by deriving, from the signals of the two same filter pixels in one divided region, a predicted value of a signal of one same filter pixel in the other divided region based on a plurality of same color filter pixels near the boundary of the divided regions for each horizontal line in one screen and comparing the derived predicted value and an actual signal value of the relevant pixel.

摘要： An image-taking apparatus generates an output image from a photographed image obtained by photographing and displays this output image on a display screen of a display section. The image-taking apparatus includes a recognition processing section for recognizing a specific subject (facial region of a person, or a facial component such as eyes) included in the photographed image. Referring to results of this recognition, the image-taking apparatus evaluates the dimension of the specific subject in each photographed image. If the dimension evaluated is relatively large, a relatively small magnification ratio to be employed upon the generation of the output image from the photographed image is provided. If the dimension evaluated is relatively small, a relatively large magnification ratio to be employed upon the generation of the output image from the photographed image is provided. As a result, the dimension of the specific subject in the output image is kept substantially constant.

摘要： The exposure time calculator calculates exposure time of image sensor based on an aperture value corresponding to a diaphragm and brightness of an object. The predetermined time calculator calculates predetermined time based on a focal length of a lens and a predetermined coefficient. The shooting mode determining unit determines execution of multiple-exposure shooting to obtain a composite image of the object by obtaining multiple object images and then combining the multiple object images in a case where the exposure time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time. The motion detector detects motion among the multiple object images in the multiple-exposure shooting. The predetermined coefficient calculator updates a predetermined coefficient based on the detected amount of motion.
