IMAGING DEVICE HAVING FOCUS-ASSISTING FUNCTION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device capable of easily adjusting a focus for the imaging device having a video output having a high accuracy without a sense of incompatibility, while ensuring a video for a display device capable of treating only a video signal having a lower accuracy. SOLUTION: A video-data synthetic changeover means 3 conducts a synthesis or a changeover with a low-accuracy whole video for confirming an angle of view converted into the video signal having the lower accuracy by a normal format conversion means 1, by carrying out an exclusive image-quality improving processing to an enlarged video for confirming a focusing by a noise reducing means 4. The sense of incompatibility at a time when the video signal is displayed as one for a view finder is reduced, and the focus can be adjusted easily. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
