Camera display system and method

摘要

A display device for use in a camera includes a display having a plurality of display units for displaying character patterns. A memory stores character patterns for a first display and character patterns for a second display. The character patterns for the second display include matching pairs of half character patterns for display in adjacent display units to form a complete pattern. A control unit controls the operation of the display device and displays the stored character patterns on the display device. Duplicate character patterns and patterns containing numerals and decimals are stored in the memory. The control unit displays the character patterns on the display such that character pattern display appears uniformly spaced to user. In the method for displaying character patterns on the display device, the character patterns for a first display and half patterns for a second display are stored in memory. After a display has been selected the character patterns are displayed on a display device.
