Digital Image Capturing Device with Scan Type Flash

摘要

The invention relates to a digital image capturing device ( 10 ) for capturing a scene. The device comprises a two-dimensional array of light-exposable cells ( 12 ) capable of capturing said scene and one or more light-emitting diodes ( 4 ) capable of illuminating said scene. A controller ( 13 ) of said device is arranged to sequentially expose one or more of said light-exposable cells of said two-dimensional array to capture said scene and to selectively vary the illumination of various parts of said scene by said one or more light-emitting diodes during capturing of said scene in synchronism with the exposure of one or more of said cells.
