11. A method for producing and grouping motion video segments using a hand-held digital camera, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing the digital camera comprising;
i) a lens for providing an optical image;
ii) an image sensor for receiving the optical image provided by the lens;
iii) a processor;
iv) a digital memory;
v) an image display; and
vi) an user interface;
using the image sensor to receive the optical image and produce an image signal;
using the processor to produce a plurality of motion video segments responsive to the image signal;
viewing the plurality of motion video segments on the image display;
using the user interface to select at least two of the plurality of the motion video segments;
grouping the selected two of the plurality of motion video segments to produce a continuous motion video sequence; and
storing the continuous motion video sequence in the digital memory. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
