Patent ID: 7573601

Claim:
A digital camera comprising: an image processing module which forms object data representing an object image based on an output of an image sensor; a setting module which sets background data that is synthesized with the object data; a framing assisting module which displays as a moving picture the object data and a profile of an area that is synthesized with the background data set by the setting module on a display in a first magnification; a recording module which stores the object data selected by a shutter instruction in a nonvolatile memory to correlate with the background data set by the setting module; and a playing module which displays a still picture obtained by synthesizing the object data stored in the nonvolatile memory and the background data correlated with the object data on one screen of the display by applying a magnification varying process and a rotating process, wherein, the magnification varying process is applied to the object data in a magnification smaller than the first magnification, the framing assisting module displays the object data and the profile of the area that is synthesized with the background data on the display without displaying the background data on the display, and the framing assisting module displays, on the display, a first area corresponding to a first part of the background data with which the object data is overlapped without displaying, on the display, a second area corresponding to a second part of the background data with which the object data is not overlapped.
