Digital still camera and method of controlling same

摘要

The circuits of a digital still camera are configured in a comparatively simple manner. A settings memory card and an image-recording memory card are capable of being removably inserted into a digital still camera. Settings values for setting shooting conditions and processing methods to be applied to image data obtained by photography are recorded on the settings memory card, and image data is recorded on the image-recording memory card. Settings values that have been recorded on the settings memory card are read and the circuits of the camera are configured so as to afford shooting conditions and image processing methods decided by these settings values. A subject is imaged in accordance with the set shooting conditions and image processing is applied to the image data in accordance with the set image processing method. The image data that has been subjected to image processing is recorded on the image-recording memory card.
