Patent Images
1. An image capture apparatus, comprising:
- a first imaging device operable to capture an image;
a feedback image generator for generating a feedback image from a captured image for output to a display;
a facial recognition unit operable to determine the position of a face within said feedback image;
an image corruptor operable to corrupt said feedback image with respect to said position of a face within said feedback image as determined by said facial recognition unit; and
an image capture initiator operable to initiate the capture of an output image subsequent to corruption of said feedback image.

12. A method of image capture, said method comprising the steps of:
-
capturing an image using a first imaging device; generating a feedback image from said captured image for output to a display; detecting the position of a face within said feedback image; corrupting said feedback image with respect to said detected position of a face within said feedback image; and subsequently initiating the capture of an output image. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26)
