1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a light sensitive sensor that generates electrical charges in relation to amounts of light reflected from an external object, said sensor being adapted to record a first image;
an image editor device adapted to receive a processed form of the first image and which creates a guide image; and
a display operably connected to the image editing device with which to view a superposition of a second image and the guide image before recording the second image.

Abstract
A method for using a digital camera, wherein the method includes recording a first image of at least one subject, generating a guide image from the first image, and using the guide image to record a second image of a second subject. The guide image is superimposed over a subject of the second image in preparation for recording the second image so that the second image will be recorded with at least one of substantially the same composition and substantially the same perspective as the first image.

8. A method of using a digital camera, comprising:
-
recording a first image of at least one first subject;
generating a guide image from the first image;
using the guide image to record a second image of at least one second subject, wherein the guide image is superimposed over an initial image of the at least one second subject in preparation for recording the second image so that the second image will be recorded with at least one of substantially the same composition and substantially the same perspective as the first image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A guide image generator, comprising:
-
a light sensitive sensor that produces electrical charges in response to light falling thereon;
an A/D converter that converts the electrical charges into first image data;
an image editor that receives the first image data and produces a guide image data based upon the first image data.
