Patent ID: 7471321

Claim:
A photographing method comprising the steps of: setting resolution as a condition of an image to be formed; dividing data of electric charges stored in all pixels corresponding to an image focused on an photographing device having a color filter for resolving color by means of a focused device into M(≧3) fields; transferring at least a part of said divided data in sequence; carrying out, immediately after data of m(<M) fields of said M fields are transferred, an image processing by use of the transferred data of the m fields to make a confirmation image for confirming photographing, said transferred data of said m fields including all types of color signals and pixels necessary to prepare the confirmation image; and carrying out, after data of n (m≦n≦M) fields of the M fields are transferred, a second image processing by use of the transferred data of the n fields to make the image to be formed, n being number of fields in which pixels necessary to make an image having the set resolution are included.
