Apparatus capable of image capturing
First Claim
1. An apparatus capable of image capturing comprising:
- an imaging device which captures image data;
a recorder for recording image data transferred from said imaging device into a specified memory card;
a display unit for displaying the image data transferred from said imaging device;
an interpolating portion for executing interpolation of pixels constituting image data, the interpolating portion executing a first interpolation when displaying by the display unit, while executing a second interpolation different from the first interpolation when recording to the memory card by the recorder, both the first and second interpolation being processes for interpolating unknown pixels from the pixels of the image data; and
a changer for changing an interpolating process by said interpolating portion depending on which one of recording by the recorder and displaying by the display unit is performed.

Abstract
Apparatus for image capturing has preview function for monitor-outputting an image before capturing image to be recorded, image processing section including band correcting section for controlling frequency characteristic of color data constituting image data, gamma correcting section for controlling gradation characteristic of image data, pixel interpolating section for interpolating pixels with unknown data of each color data constituting image data, and exposure control section for controlling exposure setting value. Capture image size, image data compression rate or subject image recording mode can be met before capturing an image. Controller is selected according to capture image size, image data compression rate or image recording mode set before capturing the image. When an image, captured with setting of small capture image size, is outputted in specified output size, an image provided with a more appropriate characteristic for appreciation can be obtained and reduction in image quality due to data compression can be suppressed.

31. An image data processing method for an apparatus capable of image capturing which can selectively display a captured image or record a captured image on a memory card, comprising the steps of:
-
capturing image data by means of an imaging device; and executing a varied interpolating process depending on whether the captured image is to be displayed or recorded on the memory card, wherein a first interpolating process is executed when displaying, while a second interpolating process different from the first interpolating process is executed when recording, both the first and second interpolation being processes for interpolating unknown pixels from the pixels of the image data. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
