Patent Images
1. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a trigger signal;
capturing an image of a scene in response to the trigger signal;
presenting the captured image;
determining a verification mode;
ending the presentation of the captured image at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined; and
ending the presentation of the captured image at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined.

Abstract
An imaging system and method are provided. In accordance with the method a trigger signal is detected and an image of a scene is captured in response to the trigger signal. The image is presented. A verification mode is determined and the presentation of the captured image is ended at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined the presentation of the captured image is ended at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined.

14. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising:
-
detecting a trigger signal;
detecting a separated capture mode signal;
capturing an archival mage in response to the trigger signal;
providing an evaluation image that corresponds to the archival image;
presenting the evaluation image;
ending presentation of the evaluation image at a first ending time after the trigger signal when a separated capture mode signal is not detected; and
ending presentation of the evaluation image at a second ending time after the trigger signal when a separated capture mode signal is detected;
wherein the second ending time is after the first ending time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for operating an imaging system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a trigger signal;
detecting whether a self-timer mode signal has been generated;
capturing archival image and forming an evaluation image based upon the archival image for presentation on a display;
displaying the evaluation image within a first time period when a self-timer signal is not detected; and
displaying the evaluation image within a second time period that extends beyond the first time period when the separated captured mode signal is detected;
wherein the step of capturing the archival image comprises the steps of capturing the archival image at a predetermined time after the trigger signal when the self-timer signal is detected. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)

32. An imaging system comprising:
-
a trigger system having a trigger circuit generating a trigger signal;
an image capture system adapted to capture an image of a scene in response the trigger signal;
a display for presenting images; and
a processor adapted to receive the captured image, to form an evaluation image for presentation on the display, and to cause the display to present the evaluation image;
wherein said processor determines a verification mode and ends the presentation of the captured image at a first time when a first verification mode is determined and ends the presentation of the evaluation image at second time when a second verification mode is determined. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

51. An imaging system comprising:
-
a self-timer mode input generating a self-timer mode selection signal;
a trigger system having a trigger circuit generating a trigger signal;
an image capture system for capturing an archival image of the scene in response to a capture signal;
a display for presenting an image; and
,a processor receiving the archival image and forming an evaluation image based upon the archival image;
wherein the processor detects whether a self-timer signal has been generated and generates a capture signal at a predetermined period of time after the trigger signal when the self-timer mode is selected and wherein the processor causes the evaluation image to be displayed within a first time period when the self-timer mode is not selected and a second time period when the self-timer mode is selected with the second time period extending beyond the first time period.
