Abstract

A digital photography device includes a lens module, an image memory module, an input/output port, an angle detecting module, an angle memory module connecting with the angle detecting module and an image processing module connecting with the lens module, the image memory module, the input/output port and the angle memory module. The angle detecting module detects an angle that the digital photography device is turned and processes the angle signal into angle data, and the angle data is inputted into the angle memory module. The image processing module controls the lens module to detect an image and processes the image into image data, and then the image data is inputted into the image memory module directly. When the image data is to be output through the input/output port, the image processing module reads the image data and the corresponding angle data and processes the image data according to the angle data, then outputs the processed image data through the input/output port.

Claims
