Patent ID: 7948548

Claim:
A digital imaging device comprising: an image sensor configured to capture an image incident thereon; an inclination sensor configured to determine an inclination of the image sensor relative to at least one reference inclination of the image sensor; a display configured to display the image captured by the image sensor, a representation of the reference inclination and a representation of the inclination of the image sensor relative to the at least one reference inclination of the image sensor, the representation of the inclination of the image sensor being one or more mobile lines offset with respect to the representation of the reference inclination by an angle representing the inclination of the image sensor relative to the at least one reference inclination of the image sensor; further comprising a control unit configured to control the display to move the representation of the reference inclination to align the representation of the reference inclination with a substantially linear aspect of the displayed image; wherein the representation of the reference inclination is a linear representation, and the control unit is configured to control the display to rotate the linear representation about its midpoint.
