Abstract:
A camera system and method provide a trailing motion blur effect without the use of a flash. In one embodiment, a variable light-transmissive filter is positioned in front of an image sensor. While the light-transmissive property of the filter is lower, the blurred image of the object in motion is produced. The light-transmissive property of the filter is increased during the exposure in order to produce a clearer image of the object. In a method, a plurality of images taken in rapid succession are combined to produce a clear image of the object with a trailing blurred image of the object.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for capturing an image including the steps of:\n a) receiving a user input; b) in response to said step a), capturing a motion blur image of an object in motion during a first exposure time; c) in response to said step a), capturing at least one clearer image of the object in motion during a second exposure time, wherein the second exposure time is shorter than the first exposure time; and d) after said steps a) to c) generating a final image having both the motion blur image of the object and the at least one clearer image of the object.
