PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a digital camera provided with a plurality of photographing optical systems and imaging elements for realizing high magnification zooming without interruption and upsizing. SOLUTION: The digital camera has two kinds of modes comprising: a high image quality mode for processing an image obtained by composing high quality image information with a small field angle and possible for optical zooming obtained by a combination of a first CCD 30 with a small size and high pixel density, a first imaging lens 12 with a short focal length, a second CCD 32 with a large size and low pixel density, and a second imaging lens 14 with a long focal length and slightly lower quality image information with a large field angle by an image interpolation means; and a high magnification mode for processing an image obtained by composing high quality image information with a minimum field angle obtained by a combination of the first CCD 30 and the second imaging lens 14, and the second CCD 32 and the first imaging lens 12 and low quality image information with a large field angle by the image interpolation means 38. Each mode can be selected by selecting an optical path from each lens to each CCD to change the combination of the lenses and the CCDs. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
