A printer-equipped camera includes an instant film pack loading unit in which an instant film pack, a first displaying unit of which a displaying surface is arranged to face an exposure surface of an instant film in the instant film pack through the exposure opening with respect to the instant film pack loaded in the instant film pack loading unit, and that exposes the instant film by displaying an image, a light exit direction restriction member that is included on the displaying surface of the first displaying unit and restricts a light exit direction of light from each pixel of the first displaying unit to a constant range, an imaging unit that captures a subject image, a second displaying unit that displays an image to an outside, a print instruction unit that provides a print instruction for the image displayed on the second displaying unit, and a displaying control unit that exposes the exposure surface of the instant film by displaying the image on the first displaying unit.

The shape of a camera body of a digital camera including a printer viewed from the front surface is a square shape, and an imaging optical system is positioned at the center of a camera body. An axis crossing an optical axis of the imaging optical system in a vertical direction is referred to as a vertical axis, and an axis crossing the optical axis in a horizontal direction is referred to as a horizontal axis. A grip portion is formed on the camera body at positions that are symmetric with respect to the vertical axis and symmetric with respect to the horizontal axis. The grip portion has an annular shape and a concave shape that is concave from the surface around the grip portion. The imaging optical system is positioned at the center of the annular grip portion in a case where the digital camera including a printer is viewed from the front surface of the camera body.

A personal imaging kiosk includes a portable, free-standing, modular booth including at least one camera configured to capture images of a user seated at the modular booth, and a controller in communication with the at least one camera. Such a controller includes a graphic user interface, and computer software instructions in communication with the graphic user interface and being configured to automatically superimpose a personalized collage of the captured images based on a demonstrative facial reply of the user to media content observed by the user at the modular booth. A facial recognition device is in communication with the controller for capturing the demonstrative facial reply of the user to media content observed by the user at the portable, free-standing, modular booth.

An image providing system capable of quickly providing a plurality of different cropped images is disclosed. The image providing system acquires position information about a position of a user designated by the user. The image providing system determines a range of an image that was captured by an image capturing unit, the range corresponding to the position information as a cropping range, before the image capturing unit starts a series of image capturing in which the image capturing unit captures a plurality of images. After the series of image capturing is started, the system applies cropping that cuts out a part of a captured image based on the cropping range. During the series of image capturing, the system provides a cropped image to which the cropping has been applied in a way in which a user can obtain the cropped image.

This fully-automated 3D photo booth uses a single-or dual-lens camera or other depth sensors. Depth algorithms process the pictures taken, which can be inserted into themed templates. A novel method of coarse segmentation separates the foreground and background. The photo booth dispenses an interlaced print and snap-in photo frame, or gives the option of viewing on a mobile device or sending via email or social media. On a mobile device, the 3D viewing is with a snap-on or adhesive optical overlay if available, using novel lenticules that solve Moir artifacts. In the absence of an optical overlay, tilt sensors are used to move the viewpoint of the 3D scene model, to look around objects in the foreground, the same as if real objects were being tilted back and forth.

A portable printer includes a camera, a printing part, a supporting part, and a mirror. The supporting part is configured to support a portable electronic device including a display, in a way in which the display faces the camera with a predetermined distance away from the camera. The support member is configured to cover a space between the portable electronic device and the camera. The mirror is configured to reflect an image on the display and form reflected image thereon. The reflected image on the mirror is viewable by a user. The camera is configured to capture the image on the display. The printing part is configured to print the image captured by the camera.

An imaging support device (1) according to the present invention includes: a countdown signal generation unit (11) that generates a countdown signal indicating a countdown number decremented at regular time intervals from a setting value, and an imaging control unit (13) that transmits imaging execution signals multiple times to an imaging device (15) until the countdown number becomes 0.
