摘要： An image-taking apparatus permits annotation information to be added to a region within an image not only with an image that has already been recorded but also with an image that is going to be captured, and thus with higher efficiency. In one screen, either an image that is going to be captured or an image recorded on a recording medium is specified as a parent image to which to add annotation information. When the former is specified, a parent image is newly captured; when the latter is specified, in another screen, which of already recorded images to select is specified, and the specified image is used as a parent image. Within the parent image, a region to which to add annotation information is specified, and then, as the annotation information, an image is captured or a sound is recorded.

摘要： A digital camera obtains image data of a subject by a CCD. The CCD has, as image data output modes, a nullnormal modenull of outputting all of pixels of the image data at 60 fps and an nullarea-limited modenull of outputting an area including a limited focus area in the image data at 180 fps. The output mode of the CCD is set to the nullnormal modenull in a live-view operation. At the time of an auto-focus control, the output mode is switched at the intervals of {fraction (1/60)} second between the nullarea-limited modenull and the nullnormal modenull. While the output mode of the CCD is set to the nullarea-limited modenull, the state of a display screen of a liquid crystal monitor is held. Consequently, while performing auto-focus promptly, a subject image can be appropriately displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal monitor.

摘要： An apparatus that permits annotation information to be added to a region within an image permits easy specification of a region and permits even omission of specification of a region. When an image to which to add annotation information is specified, a region at the center of the image is set and displayed as a region to which to add the annotation information. If this region does not agree with the region to which the user wants to add the annotation information, the user, by moving, enlarging, or reducing the displayed region frame, specifies the desired region; otherwise, specification of a region can be omitted. The region that was used to adjust the focus of a taking lens when the image was captured may be set as a region to which to add the annotation information.

摘要： A digital camera is provided with a plurality of image-pickup modes to carry out an optimal controlling process in accordance with an image-pickup scene. With respect to mode selection settings, a switching can be made between a manual selection setting in which the user manually selects an image-pickup mode and an automatic selection setting which automatically discriminates each image-pickup scene, and selects a suitable image-pickup mode. In the case of the automatic selection setting in the mode selection setting, a limited value in comparison with a parameter value relating to the image quality set at the time of the manual selection setting is set as the parameter. As a result, even in the case of a misdiscrimination in an image-pickup scene, it is possible to provide a flawless image as the resulting image, and consequently to prevent serious degradation in the image quality.
