Method of making a digital camera image of a scene including the camera user
First Claim
1. A method of making an image in a digital camera, the method comprising:
- displaying a preview image of a scene into which a camera user is to be inserted,superimposing on the preview image a symbol (“
subject locator”
) representing at least a part of a human subject,scaling the subject locator to a desired size and moving it to a desired position relative to the edges of the preview image,detecting a camera user entering the scene displayed by the preview image,scaling and panning the preview image to bring the part of the preview image represented by the camera user to substantially a same size and position as the subject locator, andcapturing a digital image of the scene.

Abstract
A method of making an image in a digital camera comprises capturing a digital image of a scene into which the camera user is to be inserted, and superimposing a symbol (subject locator) onto the scene image representing at least a part of a human subject. The subject locator is scaled to a desired size and moved to a desired position relative to the scene image. Next a digital image of the user is captured, and at least the part of the user image represented by the subject locator is extracted. The part of the user image represented by the subject locator is scaled (before or after extraction) to substantially the same size as the subject locator and inserted into the first image at the position of the subject locator.
