Digital camera
First Claim
1. A digital camera comprising:
- an optical system that forms an optical image of a subject;
a conversion unit that converts the formed optical image of the subject into a digital image;
selection means that selects a default image to be combined with the digital image output by said conversion means;
a display;
a determination unit that determines whether or not the selected default image contains a pixel to be superposed on the digital image output by the conversion unit;
a display controller, if a default image having a pixel to be superposed on the digital image output by the conversion unit is selected, combines a thumbnail image of the selected default image and a digital moving image output by the conversion unit into one for display on the display in a state in which a still image record command can be entered, and if a default image not containing any pixel to be superposed on the digital image output by the conversion unit is selected, combines a predetermined object and a digital moving image output by the conversion unit into one for display on the display in a state in which a still image record command can be entered; and
an image recorder that stores a digital still image output by the conversion unit in nonvolatile memory in association with the selected default image when a still image record command is entered.

Abstract
A digital camera is characterized by an optical system for forming an optical image of a subject, conversion means for converting the formed optical image of the subject into a digital image, selection means for selecting a layout at the playback time of the digital image output by the conversion means, a display, determination means for determining the playback orientation of the digital image output by the conversion means with respect to the selected layout, display control means for combining an object indicating how to hold the digital camera at the ready in response to the determined playback orientation and a digital moving image output by the conversion means into one for display on the display in a state in which a still image record command can be entered, and image record means for storing a digital still image output by the conversion means in nonvolatile memory in association with the selected layout when a still image record command is entered.

3. A digital camera comprising:
-
an optical system for forming an optical image of a subject;
a conversion unit that converts the formed optical image of the subject into a digital image;
a selection unit that selects a layout at the playback time of the digital image output by the conversion unit;
a display;
a determination unit that determines playback orientation of the digital image output by the conversion unit with respect to the selected layout;
a display controller that combines an object indicating how to hold the digital camera at the ready in response to the determined playback orientation and a digital moving image output by the conversion unit into one for display on the display in a state in which a still image record command can be entered; and
an image recorder that stores a digital still image output by the conversion unit in nonvolatile memory in association with the selected layout when a still image record command is entered. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A display control method of a digital camera comprising an optical system for forming an optical image of a subject, a conversion unit for converting the formed optical image of the subject into a digital image, a selection unit for selecting a layout at the playback time of the digital image output by the conversion unit, and a display, the method comprising:
-
determining playback orientation of the digital image output by the conversion unit with respect to the selected layout;
combining an object indicating how to hold the digital camera at the ready in response to the determined playback orientation and a digital moving image output by the conversion unit into one for display on said display in a state in which a still image record command can be entered; and
storing a digital still image output by the conversion unit in nonvolatile memory in association with the selected layout when a still image record command is entered.
