Imaging apparatus, imaging method and computer-readable recording medium

摘要

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit that captures a subject to generate image data of the subject; a display unit that displays the image; an image separating unit that separates a subject image and a background image from the image displayed; a special effect input unit that receives information related to special effects respectively applied to the subject image and the background image; a special effect image generating unit that generates a special effect image of each of the subject and background images by applying special effects corresponding to information received by the special effect input unit; a storing unit that stores special effect information for assigning an advisability corresponding to a combination of special effects which the special effect image generating unit applies to the subject image and the background image; and a synthetic image generating unit that generates a synthetic image using the generated special effect image.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an imaging unit that captures an image of a subject to continuously generate electronic image data of the subject; an image data storing unit that stores the image data generated by the imaging unit; a display unit that displays the image corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging unit; a shooting mode setting unit that sets a shooting mode to either one of a normal shooting mode and a slow motion shooting mode whose frame rate is higher than that of the normal shooting mode; a display control unit that controls the display unit to sequentially display, at a frame rate of the shooting mode set by the shooting mode setting unit, the images corresponding to the image data generated by the imaging unit in time sequence and display information related to a special effect which can be combined with the shooting mode set by the shooting mode setting unit; a special effect image generating unit that generates a special effect image by applying the special effect to the image; and an advisability information storing unit that stores advisability information for assigning an advisability corresponding to a combination of the special effect which the special effect image generating unit applies to the image and the shooting mode; wherein the display control unit controls the display unit to display information related to the special effect which the special effect image generating unit needs to apply to the image in accordance with the advisability information stored in the advisability information storing unit.
