Digital camera, and image synthesizer and method of controlling the same

摘要

The present invention is directed to identifying photographs to be handed to attendants at a wedding reception, for example. In front of a seat in which the attendant at the wedding reception sits, an Ir light emitting device which transmits a seat code for identifying the attendant is placed. The seat code is received, to record data representing the seat code, and the attendant is photographed, to record image data representing an image of the attendant in correlation with the seat code on a memory card of a digital camera. An attendant file including the seat code and the name of the attendant is previously created. The image of the attendant which is obtained by the photographing, the name of the attendant and so forth are related to each other using the seat code. A print is obtained from a composite image in which the image of the attendant and the name of the attendant is synthesized with a template image. The attendant to which the print is to be handed can be confirmed by seeing the name.
