IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An image capture device comprising:
- an imager for imaging an object and generating image data;
an image file generator for generating an image file by adding, to the image data generated by the imager, a header portion which stores at least one type of information concerning shooting circumstances;
a timer for outputting information indicating a current time; and
a manipulation section which is used to set period information specifying a period,wherein the image file generator changes the type of information to be stored in the header portion depending on whether a time of imaging as indicated by the information which is output from the timer at the time of the imaging falls within the period specified by the period information.

Abstract
An image capture device includes: an imager for imaging an object and generating image data; an image file generator for generating an image file by adding, to the image data generated by the imager, a header portion which stores at least one type of information concerning shooting circumstances; a timer for outputting information indicating a current time; and a manipulation section which is used to set period information specifying a period. The image file generator changes the type of information to be stored in the header portion depending on whether a time of imaging as indicated by the information which is output from the timer at the time of the imaging falls within the period specified by the period information.

6. An image processing device comprising:
-
an image acquisition section for acquiring an image file containing image data and time information, the time information specifying a point in time at which the image data is generated; an image file generator for generating an image file by adding, to the image data acquired by the image acquisition section, a header portion which stores at least one type of information concerning shooting circumstances; and a manipulation section which is used to set period information specifying a period, wherein the image file generator changes the type of information to be stored in the header portion depending on whether the point in time at which the image data is generated, as specified by the time information, falls within the period which has been set with the manipulation section.

7. An image processing device comprising:
-
an image acquisition section for acquiring an image file containing image data and time information, the time information specifying a point in time at which the image data is generated; a processor for performing a process for outputting an image based on the image data; an output section for outputting the image; and a manipulation section which is used to set period information specifying a period, wherein the image processing device changes the type of information to be output from the output section together with the image depending on whether the point in time at which the image data is generated, as specified by the time information, falls within the period which has been set with the manipulation section.

8. A storage medium having a computer program recorded thereon to be executed by an image capture device,
the image capture device including: -
an imager for imaging an object and generating image data; an image file generator for generating an image file based on the image data generated by the imager; a timer for outputting information indicating a current time; and a manipulation section which is used to set period information specifying a period, wherein the computer program causes the image file generator to execute; a process of determining whether a time of imaging as indicated by the information which is output from the timer at the time of the imaging falls within the period specified by the period information; a process of generating a header portion which stores at least one type of information concerning shooting circumstances, where the type of information to be stored is changed depending on a result of the determination; and a process of generating an image file by adding the header portion to the image data.
