摘要： In each optional area of an object to be photographed, image data obtained when a strobe (10) flashes a light and a CCD (3) is exposed to light from the object is compared with image data obtained when the CCD (3) is exposed to light from the object without flashing a light from the strobe by a data processing section 6. A CPU (12) then determines how much the light of the strobe contributes to photography in the each area which has been compared. After that, the CPU (12) suitably selects either a white balance control value given when the strobe does not flash a light or a predetermined white control value given when the strobe flashes a light and performs final white balance control. Both of the values are determined based on sensor data transmitted from a color measuring sensor (9) or based on an image signal transmitted from the CCD (3).

摘要： A CPU (11) checks a photographic storing mode for a still image or animate object which is determined when photography takes place and a compression rate mode (a compression rate depends on normal, economy, and the like). When the checked mode coincides with a photographic storing mode or compression rate mode stored in an EEPROM (12) when photographs were taken, a scale factor is read which is stored in the EEPROM (12) in correspondence with the respective modes and which has been used for compressing and coding. After that, the scale factor is set in a data compression/extension section (7) and is used as a scale factor for the compression/coding in the present photography. Accordingly, the time required to determine a scale factor is shortened, and an error generated when an image signal is stored is prevented. Accordingly, a good photographic result can be obtained.

摘要： A camera which imprints alphanumeric messages on the film. The camera allows a user to view, in the order of most frequently used, the messages which can be imprinted. In order to reduce the cost of the camera, there is a dot matrix LCD display which can only display a limited number of characters which is less than the total number of characters of the largest message. After a user takes a picture, the dot matrix display scrolls through the message which has been imprinted on the film so that the user can confirm that the correct message has been imprinted. The speed at which the characters are scrolled or displayed is determined based on the total number of characters of the message. As an alternative to scrolling, the characters can be displayed one or two at a time. As an alternative, instead of displaying the alpha-numerical characters of the message, a graphical indication is given that some type of information has been imprinted on the film. The duration at which this confirmation of message imprinting is displayed or scrolled corresponds to the length of the message in order to give the user some indication of the message.
