Digital camera having inclination sensor
First Claim
1. A digital camera, comprising:
- an inclination sensor for detecting an inclination in a rotating direction around an optical axis;
a recorder for recording onto a recording medium an image photographed in response to a photographing instruction and a detection result of said inclination sensor at a time of accepting the photographing instruction;
a first displayer for displaying an image reproduced from said recording medium in a manner corresponding to the detection result of said inclination sensor relating to the reproduced image; and
an outputter for outputting on the basis of the detection result of said inclination sensor display manner information indicating how an image photographed in a current posture is displayed at a time of reproducing.

Abstract
A digital camera includes an inclination sensor for detecting an inclination in a rotating direction around an optical axis. When a shutter button is half-depressed, a character signal corresponding to a detection result of the inclination sensor is generated by a character generator, and a character based on the character signal is displayed on a monitor. When the shutter button is full-depressed, an image photographed in response to the full depressing and detection result information of the inclination sensor at a time of the full depressing are recorded onto a memory card. An image reproduced from the memory card is displayed in a manner corresponding to the detection result information relating to the image.
