First Claim
Patent Images
1. A photography method comprising the steps of:
- capturing an archival image;
during said capturing of said archival image, capturing a plurality of evaluation images;
generating a verification image from said evaluation images;
comparing one or more characteristics of said evaluation images to respective predetermined standard ranges;
generating a output quality warning when any of said characteristics are outside a respective said predetermined standard range;
displaying said verification image on said camera; and
communicating said output quality warning during said displaying.

Abstract
In a camera and method, an archival image is captured. During the capturing of the archival image, a plurality of evaluation images are also captured. A verification image is generated from the evaluation images. Characteristics of the evaluation images are compared to predetermined standard ranges and an output quality warning is generated when a characteristic is outside a respective range. The output quality warning is communicated while the verification image is displayed on the camera.

16. A camera comprising:
-
a body;
a capture system mounted in said body, said capture system capturing a scene image as an archival image and, during said capturing of said archival image, capturing a plurality of evaluation images, said evaluation images each having a plurality of image characteristics;
a look-up table disposed in said body, said look-up table having a plurality of predetermined standard ranges of said image characteristics;
an evaluator disposed in said body, said evaluator being operatively connected to said capture system, said evaluator comparing said image characteristics of said evaluation images to respective said predetermined standard ranges, said evaluator generating a output quality warning when any of said image characteristics are outside a respective said predetermined standard range; and
a display operatively connected to said evaluator, said display displaying said output quality warning. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
