摘要:
Video signals representative of photographic images which are stored in a plurality of substantially equally dimensioned frames in horizontal and vertical positions are produced by picking up the images. A first signal indicative of a horizontal/vertical position and a top-bottom orientation of the photographic image stored in any of the frames is entered. The photographic image is rotated relatively in response to the first signal. For a vertically positioned image, a video signal is produced which is representative of the image with a magnification which is smaller than that of a horizontally positioned image. Such a procedure provides a video signal which represents an image in a non-inverted top-bottom orientation without any essential portions of the image being omitted.

Photographic images are recorded by picking up a group of photographic images recorded in horizontal and vertical positions in substantially equally dimensioned frames to store in a storage medium video signals representative of the photographic images in the order of the group of photographic images. One of the many frame orientations, including the vertical and the horizontal positions, of the images recorded in the respective frames is selected. Then, out of the group of images, those which are in the selected orientation are selected. For the images in the vertical position, a magnification for forming a video signal which is smaller than that for the images in the horizontal position is set up. The selected photographic image is picked up to store a video signal representative of it in a store position of the storage medium assigned thereto. The selection, pickup and storage are performed on each of the photographic images which are in the selected frame orientation. Thereafter, the above procedure is repeated for the remaining necessary frame orientations.

The present invention provides a film cartridge which can be looked up easily and a film image input system which can obtain a high quality image by using the film cartridge. The image signal of each frame image, of which the image quality is adjusted, is recorded in the EEPROM of the image record unit to be mounted on the film cartridge, in which the photo film is stored in a roll, so as to correspond to the frame number while the developed photo film is printed. And, the film image input system controls the adding circuit, the multiplying circuit and the gamma correction circuit based on the respective R, G, B color signals, which are respectively outputted to the black level controller, the white level controller and the gradation controller from the EEPROM, and outputs an image signal, which has the same gradation characteristics as that of the image signal which is recorded in the EEPROM, to the encoder. With this arrangement, a high-quality image can be obtained which is equal to a printed photograph on the TV monitor while the frame image is being reproduced.

In an imaging device having an electronic shutter, a shooting operation is achieved by the use of a CCD sensor, and a pre-shooting operation is conducted which accumulates signal electric charge such that the signal electric charge is discharged through a reverse transfer. In response to the amount of the signal electric charge thus discharged, the amount of exposure is determined (namely, the shutter speed and the iris value). By measuring the amount of the signal electric charge thus discharged for each predetermined range of a light receiving area, a multi-light measurement is achieved. The light receiving area has a plurality of photoelectric converter elements of the MOS capacitor type disposed therein and is subdivided into a plurality of areas which are insulated from each other. The pre-shooting operation is conducted which accumulates signal electric charge in the photoelectric converter elements such that the signal electric charge is discharged to the side of the substrate for each subdivided area. In response to the amount of the signal electric charge thus discharged, the amount of exposure is determined (namely, the shutter speed and the iris value). By measuring the amount of the signal electric charge thus discharged for each subdivided area, the multi-light measurement is achieved.
摘要:
A system is provided for producing image signals of a photographed subject image by a solid state image sensing device and for producing a brightness signal and line sequential color difference signals from the image signal. The subject image is sensed by the image sensing device which has a color filter formed thereon. First and second horizontal scanning lines of picture elements are alternately arranged and the picture elements are opposed to filter elements of the color filter. The first horizontal scanning lines separately transmit at least red light and green light and the second horizontal scanning lines transmit at least blue light and green light, to thereby obtain color image signals. The image signal thus obtained are signal processed to produce the line sequential color difference signals R-Y and B-Y. With this signal processing, the system can produce the image signals including the line sequential color difference signals by a simplified arrangement without impairing the color productivity.
