DIGITAL CAMERA APPARATUS WITH DYNAMICALLY CUSTOMIZED FOCUS RETICLE AND AUTOMATIC FOCUS RETICLE POSITIONING

摘要

An apparatus includes digital camera equipment and a display that provides a viewfinder. A processor that is operatively coupled to the camera equipment, and to the display, controls the camera equipment and the display to provide a custom reticle that defines a region-of-interest having a shape corresponding to an object-of-interest as the object-of-interest appears in the viewfinder. One or more object templates may be stored in memory. The object templates contain location information and size information for one or more objects-of-interest in a geographic region where the apparatus is located. The processor may construct the custom reticle using one or more of the object templates. The processor can determine that an object-of-interest is displayed in the viewfinder and construct a custom reticle for that particular object-of-interest.
