Digital Camera Patent Abstract
An exemplary digital camera module (10) includes a lens module (20),
an image sensor (2202) and a rotating structure (30). The lens module
includes a barrel and at least one lens (211) received in the barrel.
The at least one lens defines an optical axis (214). The image sensor
(2202) is arranged to receive light transmitted through the at least
one lens. The rotating structure is attached to the lens module.
The rotating structure includes a driving member (32) configured
for driving the lens module to rotate about a rotating axis (312)
oblique to the optical axis while the lens module is imaging.
A digital camera system is composed of a digital camera and a
lens unit detachable to this digital camera. The digital camera
includes a first taking lens and a first CCD image sensor to convert
subject light into image data. The first taking lens is surrounded
by a detachable decorative ring. When a hook release button is pressed
to detach the decorative ring, a camera-side mount appears. The
lens unit is attached to this camera-side mount, and photographing
can be performed with a second taking lens and a second CCD image
sensor in the lens unit.
A digital imaging system is provided that includes a digital camera
and a color printer. The digital camera comprises: a housing; an
image sensor adapted to capture analog image data; an analog-to-digital
converter adapted to convert the analog image data; an image processor
adapted to perform first processing and compression of the digital
image data to create a first-processed digital image file; a digital
memory in the camera housing having a plurality of the first-processed
digital image files stored in the digital memory; and a color printer
interface to which a digital image file, which is selected from
the digital memory, is applied. The color printer comprises: a color-marking
apparatus, and a digital camera interface, wherein the image processor
in the digital camera is adapted to perform second processing on
the selected digital image file before the selected digital image
file is applied.
