Patent ID: 7817186

Claim:
A camera comprising: (a) a switch for switching a photographing mode and a reproduction mode; (b) an image taking part configured to sequentially take each of plural images, the image taking part taking all the plural images with a first exposure time period shorter than a second exposure time period to obtain a proper exposure for brightness of a subject; (c) a memory configured to sequentially store the plural images taken by the image taking part; (d) a synthesizing part configured to detect offsets among the plural images and to synthesize the plural images coordinate-transformed to correct the offsets detected among the plural images, the synthesis process being performed after changing from the photographing mode to the reproduction mode; (e) an exposure correction part configured to perform image processing to a proper exposure on one image among the plural images stored in the memory; (f) a displaying part configured to display an image; and (g) a display control part configured to change display images, the display control part displaying the image image-processed by the exposure correction part on the displaying part during the photographing mode and after changing from the photographing mode to the reproduction mode until the synthesis process in the synthesizing part is completed, and displaying the synthesized image on the displaying part after the synthesis process is completed.
