First Claim
Patent Images
1. A camera apparatus comprising:
- a photographing section for obtaining an image of a subject;
a display section for displaying the image obtained by the photographing section in a standby state in a photographing mode;
a storing section for storing the image obtained by the photographing section in response to photographing operation;
an image synthesizing section for synthesizing;
(i) an image representing composition of the image obtained by the photographing section and (ii) a position specifying image representing a predetermined position, to obtain a first synthesized image;
a composition data storing section for storing composition data relating to a composition indicating image in which the position specifying image takes a position desired by a user in the first synthesized image; and
a display control section for successively synthesizing the image obtained by the photographing section with the composition indicating image based on the composition data stored in the composition data storing section to make a second synthesized image, and for displaying, for recognition by a photographer, the second synthesized image on the display section in the standby state in the photographing mode.

Abstract
A camera has a provisional photographing mode in which a human model image is displayed on a through image in an overlapping manner on a display, and the user moves the human model image to a desired position in the through image and records a composition indicating image representing the conditions of the through image with the human model image at the desired position. After the provisional photographing process, the through image is synthesized with the recorded composition indicating image in a semi transparent manner, to display a synthesized image in place of the through image on the display. When a shutter is operated, a normal photographing process is performed to record an image.
