    摘要: A digital camera includes a CCD imager having an interline transfer scheme. A first charge produced due to first exposure is read from light receiving elements positioned vertically intermittently. A second charge produced due to second exposure is also read from the same light receiving elements to vertical transfer regions. Here, the first charge is vertically moved simultaneously with or prior to reading out the second charge. The moving distance, at this time, is equal to or greater than a distance that the light receiving elements continue in the vertical direction. As a result of this, the second charge will not be mixed with the first charge. The first and second charges are subjected to a compositing process to display a composite image on an LCD.

    摘要: A digital camera includes a CCD imager which outputs 640 pixels×480 lines of camera signal in a raster scan scheme. The camera signal outputted from the CCD imager is subjected to a predetermined signal processing whereby created are 640 pixels×480 lines of original image data and 80 pixels×60 lines of thumbnail image data. Both the created original image data and thumbnail image data are written to a SDRAM. The writing of the thumbnail image data is performed during a horizontal blanking period of the original image data. As a result, image data writing operation completes within a 1-frame period of time.

    摘要: A gamma correction circuit including a first look-up table in which minimum values of differences between output levels of a gamma correction curve and output levels of a straight line in respective sections formed by dividing a range from a minimum input level to a maximum input level into sixteen are stored. Furthermore, data of differences between the output levels of the gamma correction curve and levels obtained by adding the minimum values to the output levels of the straight line in the respective sections are stored in respective second look-up tables of sixteen. Then, one of the minimum values is read-out from the first look-up table according to upper four bits of input video data, and one of the second look-up tables is selectively enabled by the upper four bits, and data stored in the selected second look-up table is read-out in accordance with lower six bits of the input video data. Outputs from the first and second look-up tables are added to each other so as to output gamma correction data which is then added to the input video data, whereby a gamma characteristic of the input video data is corrected.

Horizontal and vertical weighing coefficients are calculated by a coefficient calculation circuit in accordance with the correlation values, and the coefficients are applied to a weighted addition circuit which adds the horizontal color signals and the vertical color signals to each other for each color in accordance with the coefficients, and outputs the color signals of the specific pixel.
