Patent ID: 8681228

Claim:
An image capture device, comprising: a video control unit configured to store a digital image with corresponding auxiliary data; a control unit configured to display a part of the digital image on a screen of a display monitor when a second digital image is displayed on the screen, the displayed part of the digital image indicating a positional relationship between the second digital image and the digital image; and a processing unit configured to add a frame number and a displacement vector indicating the positional relationship between the second digital image and the digital image, associated with the digital image to the auxiliary data, the displacement vector corresponding to a panning of the image capture device, the frame number identifying the digital image among a plurality of digital images stored in an image memory, and configured to generate a synthesized image based on the digital image, the second digital image, and the auxiliary data, wherein, after the digital image is stored with the auxiliary data, the processing unit causes the control unit to display on the screen of the display monitor the displacement vector and a shifted position of the digital image which is determined by a magnitude and direction of the displacement vector which corresponds to the panning.
